Summary "Message from Venus" by R. R. Winterbotham is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds on the planet Venus during a desperate battle between humans and Venusians, focusing on the struggle for survival and the determination to send a critical message back to Earth. The narrative highlights themes of bravery, sacrifice, and the perilous nature of space exploration. The plot centers on Captain Paul Bonnet and Lieutenant Bill Riley, who are stationed at Outpost 53 facing a relentless assault from hostile Venusians. After suffering heavy casualties and realizing that reinforcements will take months to arrive, they decide to launch a lifeboat toward Earth, hoping to deliver an urgent plea for help. As they travel through space, they formulate a risky plan to land near a populated area in the ocean to drop their message. The story culminates in a dramatic and tense atmospheric re-entry, where they successfully land near San Francisco. Their bravery ensures that the message is delivered, highlighting the human spirit's unyielding resolve even in the face of overwhelming odds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
