Summary: "Flight Perilous!" by Ray C. Noll is a science fiction narrative likely written in the mid-20th century, capturing the era’s fascination with space exploration amid Cold War tensions. The book revolves around a perilous journey aboard the Marship III, where Captain Fred Hiller faces significant challenges as he navigates through an uncharted asteroid belt, weighing the lives of his crew against the risks of continuing their mission to Mars. The story unfolds in a tense atmosphere as Hiller confronts dissent among his crew, particularly from the anxious nuclear engineer Phil Bleck, who advocates for retreating to Earth due to the dangerous conditions they face. As they traverse the treacherous asteroid belt, the ship suffers impacts from the dense clusters of space debris, leading to escalating tensions and fear. The narrative climaxes with Hiller’s critical decision-making and risk-taking as he attempts to guide the ship through to safety. The book explores themes of leadership, fear, courage, and survival under pressure, culminating in both personal and collective burdens faced by space adventurers navigating the unknown.
