Summary "Blood on my jets" by Algis Budrys is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. Set against the backdrop of space travel, the story revolves around Ash Holcomb, a Detached Operative amidst the chaos of post-war criminal activities in the universe. The narrative delves into themes of betrayal, loyalty, and the quest for power, exploring the gritty underbelly of interplanetary life. The plot follows Ash Holcomb, who, while trying to distance himself from his violent past and seeking some semblance of a normal life, is unexpectedly drawn back into the fray when an old acquaintance, Pat McKay, reappears. She presents a tantalizing job opportunity that beckons Ash to take part in a high-stakes maneuver involving a powerful spaceship and the dangerous factions at play. As Ash navigates the treachery of his old life, he finds himself embroiled in a conflict with his former friend, Harry Thorsten, who has plans to exploit a new hyperspatial drive to change the balance of power in the universe. The intertwining fates of Ash, Pat, and Thorsten lead to a dramatic climax that forces Ash to confront both his past and the implications of his choices. The vivid action and complex character relationships make the book a gripping tale within the realm of science fiction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
