Summary "The Death From Orion" by W. J. Matthews is a science fiction novel written during the late 1940s. The story unfolds against a cosmic backdrop, exploring themes of betrayal, survival, and the insatiable greed for power exemplified through the quest for the mythical Jewels of Orion. Set within a future where space travel is commonplace, the narrative captures the essence of adventure and danger inherent in the pursuit of treasure across uncharted territories. The plot revolves around Eldon Kurland, an outlaw facing execution, who is given a chance at freedom by Gion, the Marward of Jupiter. Gion has orchestrated a plan to retrieve the coveted Jewels of Orion, which were lost in a space shipwreck. Kurland's cooperation in this perilous quest is driven not only by the desire to save his own life and that of his captured crew but also by the tumultuous encounters with various characters, such as the mysterious Irene Francinet. The storyline weaves through alliances and betrayals, highlighting Kurland's transformation from condemned outlaw to a man searching for justice, even as Gion's greed ultimately leads to his downfall. The narrative culminates in Kurland's struggle against Gion to reclaim his crew and deliver the jewels, presenting a gripping tale of interstellar adventure and moral reckoning.
