Summary "Men Without a World" by Joseph Farrell is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century, specifically around the early 1940s. The story follows two human astronauts, Paul Hawthorne and Lance O'Dea, who find themselves caught in a precarious situation on the desert planet Avignon in the Alpha Centauri system after crash-landing there. The book explores themes of survival, inter-species relations, and the clash of moral standards, as the humans face the alien Centaurs who have nefarious intentions regarding the future of Earth's inhabitants. As Hawthorne and O'Dea navigate their new reality, they are taken captive by the Centaurs, who are deeply interested in not just the Earth men but in creating a planet suitable for humans—albeit under their control. Initially, the Centaurs’ plans seem benevolent, as they aim to bring elements necessary for life to Avignon. However, the two astronauts quickly realize that they are meant to serve as part of a larger, sinister scheme to indoctrinate future generations of humans to the Centaurs' worldview. The protagonists devise a cunning escape plan involving a surprise attack on their captors, leading to a thrilling climax that underscores the conflict between the two species. Ultimately, the story blends elements of adventure, humor, and commentary on colonization and freedom. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
