Summary: "Asteroid Justice" by V. E. Thiessen is a science fiction novella written during the mid-20th century, specifically around the late 1940s. The story follows Sam Knox, a man-hunter in the dangerous territory of the Asteroid Belt, as he searches for Pell, an inventor accused of crimes he may not have committed. The narrative delves into themes of justice, suspicion, and the complexities of human relationships set against a backdrop of space exploration and mining. The plot unfolds as Sam Knox navigates the treacherous world of asteroid mining, where he encounters a close-knit community of miners who are wary of outsiders due to recent thefts and threats. After saving an injured miner, Sam gains access to the community and discovers that Pell is hiding among them. As he works to earn the miners' trust, he finds himself embroiled in a web of deceit orchestrated by a jealous rival, Ned Hawkins. Sam's determination to bring Pell back to Terra leads him through trials of loyalty, love, and ultimately, the fight for truth and justice, culminating in a confrontation that could clear Pell's name or seal his fate forever.
