Summary "Example" by Tom Pace is a science fiction narrative written during the mid-20th century. Set against the backdrop of interstellar travel and political scheming, the story revolves around Commander Gray, who is faced with a dire situation involving the Beolin system and a commercial liner, the "Stella". The book explores themes of authority, sacrifice, and moral dilemmas in the context of space exploration and military command. As the narrative unfolds, Commander Gray receives alarming news regarding the movement of the Beolin fleet and its potential threat to the "Stella". Despite concerns raised by Commissioner Brullar about the safety of important individuals aboard the liner, Gray grapples with the reality that significant action must be taken to protect lives and curtail the Beolins' tyranny. Through his aide, Kina Staun, Gray comes to a chilling conclusion that only a catastrophic event could galvanize the complacent Interstellar Command into action. This leads to the Commander making a heart-wrenching decision to sacrifice the "Stella" in hopes of spurring a broader military response, raising profound questions about duty, humanity, and the cost of leadership in a universe fraught with danger.
