Summary "Storm Cloud on Deka" by E. E. Smith is a science fiction novel written during the early 1940s. The story is set in a futuristic universe where pharmaceuticals are explored in intricate and high-stakes contexts, particularly involving the world of Deka and its dark dealings with dangerous substances. The narrative revolves around corporate intrigue, the ethics of drug production, and the catastrophic consequences that can arise from the misuse of advanced scientific knowledge. The plot centers on the operations of Tellurian Pharmaceuticals and particularly follows a scientist, Dr. Fairchild, who is caught in a web of deceit and danger as he attempts to produce a new form of medicinal plant. When a tragic incident involving thionite—a powerful and addictive drug—occurs, two young employees, Robert Ryder and Jacqueline Comstock, become entangled in a lethal scheme orchestrated by corporate management to cover up its dealings. Meanwhile, the titular character, Storm Cloud, is a skilled "Vortex Blaster," an expert in dealing with unstable atomic vortices that pose a threat to life and stability. As the story unfolds, the characters confront moral dilemmas, corporate corruption, and their fight for survival against a backdrop of scientific advancement gone awry. Their intertwining fates culminate in a race against time to expose the truth and navigate the dangers surrounding them. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
