Summary: "The Bryd" by Noel M. Loomis is a science fiction novella written in the early 1950s. The book explores themes of loyalty, love, and the human condition through the eyes of an immortal alien entity known as the Bryd, who occupies the mind of Dale Stevenson, a physicist working on a sun-station in space. As tensions mount regarding international relations and warfare, the Bryd is faced with the challenge of saving Dale from a perilous decision that could lead to catastrophic consequences. The story delves into Dale's past, revealing his complicated relationship with his severely injured sister, Marillyn, and his burgeoning romance with Ann Wondra. As Dale becomes embroiled in a dangerous plot to ignite conflict between nations, he wrestles with his emotional burdens and guilt stemming from his sister's condition. The Bryd, while attempting to maintain its non-interference policy, ends up intervening in pivotal moments, ultimately orchestrating a miraculous solution to protect both Dale and those he cares about. The narrative weaves together themes of sacrifice, duty, love, and the redemptive power of intervention, culminating in a profound resolution that highlights the complexities of human emotions intertwined with the alien perspective of the Bryd.
