| Summary | "Traitor's Choice" by Paul W. Fairman is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story explores themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the moral dilemmas faced in the context of interstellar conflict, particularly between Earth and an alien race known as the Centaurians. The plot revolves around a scientist named Reed Kendall, who is confronted with a harrowing choice that pits the safety of his wife against the potential destruction of his home planet. In the narrative, Kendall is coerced by a Centaurian agent who has kidnapped his wife, Clare, and demands that Kendall provide crucial military secrets regarding a devastating weapon known as "Willy Seven." The Centaurians threaten Clare's life if he does not comply, forcing Kendall into a position where he must decide between betraying his planet and saving his wife. As he navigates the tension between his responsibilities and his love for Clare, Kendall ultimately devises a plan involving an old, dangerous rocket project he had been associated with, likely aiming to use it against the Centaurians, hinting at his unwillingness to completely surrender to their demands. The story paints a complex picture of heroism, where fear and love drive actions that could lead to unforeseen consequences. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
