Summary: "Satellite of Fear" by Frederic Arnold Kummer is a science fiction novel published in the early 1940s. Set in the harsh, chilling landscape of Ceres, one of the largest asteroids in the asteroid belt, the story follows a group of explorers trapped aboard their ship, the "Comet", as they face an unknown and terrifying force lurking in the darkness. The book weaves themes of survival, bravery, and the human spirit in the face of cosmic uncertainties, showcasing the blend of adventure and horror characteristic of early science fiction. The narrative centers on Ken Grant and Joan Conway, who lead a crew on a mining expedition to extract pitchblend, a valuable resource. As they attempt to find two missing crew members, they encounter eerie phenomena and face deadly traps set by a traitorous former crew member, Allers, who aims to claim the treasure for himself. The tension escalates as the characters must confront both the physical chilling temperatures of Ceres' Darkside and the psychological fear of the unknown. Ultimately, they engage in a battle of wits and survival, highlighting themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the struggle against malevolent forces in a starkly alien environment.
