| Summary | "The Citadel of Death" by Carl Selwyn is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century. This gripping tale revolves around themes of friendship, adventure, and the quest for eternal life, as it intertwines elements of space exploration with a narrative steeped in mystery and peril. The story primarily follows Rick Norman as he navigates a dangerous journey to the enigmatic planet Vulcan in a desperate attempt to save his friend, Johnny Gordon, who has suffered a horrific fate due to the planet’s mysterious power. In the novel, Rick Norman is faced with a race against time to find a way to reverse the effects of accelerated aging that Johnny experienced on Vulcan, where a powerful life-altering substance, dubbed the Fountain of Youth, is discovered. After initially attempting to prevent Johnny from pursuing the treasure, Norman finds himself embroiled in a series of thrilling confrontations with mercenaries and soon realizes that the Fountain holds dire secrets. Along the way, he encounters unexpected companions, including the Venusian beauty Keren and a stowaway girl named Dorothy, both of whom become entangled in their perilous mission. As tensions rise and betrayals unfold, Norman must confront Gorig Sade—the enigmatic antagonist—to uncover the reality behind Vulcan’s power and save his friend from a fate worse than death. The narrative captivates with its blend of suspense, vibrant setting, and the exploration of moral dilemmas faced in the pursuit of knowledge and immortality.
