Summary: "QRM-Interplanetary" by George O. Smith is a science fiction novel written in the early 1940s. Set in a future where interplanetary communication is crucial for civilization on different planets, the narrative explores the challenges faced by the characters during the operation of a communications relay station. The work encompasses themes of technological complexity and the interplay between administrative decisions and practical engineering. The story follows Don Channing, an electronics engineer at the Venus Equilateral Relay Station, who grapples with the appointment of Francis Burbank as the new Director. Channing and his colleagues strive to maintain the operation of their station amid Burbank's misguided efforts to cut costs and impose restrictions, which threaten their critical interplanetary communication services. When an air purification system fails due to Burbank's decisions, oxygen levels dangerously drop, leading to a frantic effort by Channing to correct the situation. Ultimately, the novel delves into the themes of teamwork and ingenuity in the face of bureaucratic oversight, culminating in Channing's elevation to Director after Burbank's removal, thus restoring order and morale to the station’s community.
