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 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.
