| Summary | "Captives of the Thieve-Star" by James H. Schmitz is a science fiction novelet written in the early 1950s. The story follows the adventures of Channok and Peer as they navigate the dangerous consequences of a heist involving the missing Crown Jewels of Irrek and the derelict spaceship, the Ra-Twelve. Set against a backdrop of space exploration, crime, and mysterious aliens, the narrative explores themes of survival, partnership, and the thrill of the unknown. In the story, Channok and Peer, recently married, find themselves embroiled in a web of criminal intrigue after unwittingly acquiring part of the loot from a heist. As they navigate various dangers, including encounters with rogue space factions and the remnants of a derelict ship haunted by a bizarre alien entity known as the Yomm, their resourcefulness and relationship are put to the test. As they unravel the mystery of the Ra-Twelve and the pursuit of its dangerous secrets, they confront their fears and discover the true power of teamwork in the face of peril. The tale is infused with elements of suspense and adventure, revealing a richly imagined universe ripe with danger and excitement. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
