| Summary | "Mirage for Planet X" by Stanley Mullen is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century. Set against the backdrop of Mars and its surrounding celestial bodies, the story follows the character Torry as he navigates a web of danger and intrigue revolving around his former partner, the notorious criminal Bart Roper. The novel encompasses themes of obsession, morality, and the interplay between personal ambitions and the treacherous consequences of one’s past decisions. The plot begins with Torry embarking on a quest to locate Roper after a prison escape, driven by his desire to claim a stake in the transuranic resource market that Roper has supposedly tapped. As Torry delves deeper into the criminal underbelly of Mars, he encounters Tharol Sen, Roper's intended bride, who is entangled in Roper's plans involving a mysterious matter transmitter. The narrative unfolds with Torry risking his life in pursuit of Roper, while navigating conflicts with local law enforcement and rival factions. Ultimately, Torry faces a moral dilemma when confronting Roper, who presents a grim choice between life on Earth, potential rehabilitation, and the darkness of death. The novel culminates in a blend of human complexity, personal redemption, and a touch of romance, set against the vivid and surreal landscapes of Triton, one of Neptune's moons.
