Summary: "The Starbusters" by Alfred Coppel, Jr. is a science fiction novel written in the late 1940s. The book explores themes of space travel and encounters with alien intelligences, as it chronicles the exploits of a crew aboard the aging warship T.R.S. Cleopatra. These characters navigate complex situations involving military orders and technological innovations all while threading relationships among them." The storyline follows Commander David Strykalski and his crew as they are unexpectedly assigned to the experimental Project Warp, intended to turn their ship into a hyper-ship capable of interstellar travel. As tensions rise due to an impending alien invasion by the warlike Eridans, the crew must confront their fears and loyalties while preparing for battle. After a harrowing encounter in an alien cosmos, where the very rules of physics seem altered, they discover that their ship's existence is a precarious balance of destruction and survival. Ultimately, they devise a bold plan to transport a contraterrene planetoid back into their own space as a weapon against the Eridan group-mind, leading to explosive and thought-provoking consequences that challenge their understanding of life, morality, and existence in the universe.
