Summary: "The Flame Breathers" by Ray Cummings is a science fiction novel written in the early 1940s. The book narrates the story of an expedition to a newly discovered planet, Vulcan, which is fraught with danger and mystery. It primarily explores themes of survival and human ingenuity when confronted with the unknown, as well as a glimpse into the exploration of extraterrestrial worlds. In the tale, Bob Grant, along with his crew members, Peter Torrence and young Jan Holden, undertake a perilous journey to explore Vulcan after previous expeditions had vanished without a trace. Their arrival reveals a harsh and metallic landscape, where they encounter not only bizarre environments but also hostile inhabitants, including savage humanoid creatures and mysterious fiery beings. As they unravel the fate of earlier explorers and face terrifying creatures, the dynamics of their relationships shift dramatically. Jan Holden heroically sacrifices himself to save his comrades, while tensions rise within the remaining crew. The story culminates in confrontations with both the natural and supernatural threats of Vulcan, leading to a thrilling struggle for survival and a return home.
