Summary "Alcatraz of the Starways" by Albert dePina and Henry Hasse is a science fiction novel written in the early to mid-20th century. The story unfolds on the planet Venus, where the main character, Mark Denning, finds himself ensnared in a perilous prison camp known as the Venusian Prison Swamp. Alongside his fellow convicts, Mark struggles to survive amidst the swamp's treacherous conditions while seeking answers to a broader mystery that threatens the solar system. The opening portion of the novel introduces Mark as he navigates the swamp, where prisoners harvest valuable yet rare pearls, risking their lives in the deadly muck. He encounters Aladdo, a winged Venusian who becomes a significant ally, offering him both assistance and insights into their dire situation. As they discuss their pasts and the possibility of escape, hints of larger political conflicts simmer beneath the surface, setting the stage for a narrative surrounding rebellion, identity, and the quest for freedom. The critical elements of class hierarchy and the implications of Earth’s control over Venus introduce a socio-political dimension, suggesting that the events on Venus are part of a grander cosmic struggle between the planets.
