Summary "The Death Crystal" by George O. Smith is a science fiction novel composed in the early 20th century, specifically during the mid-20th century period. The story revolves around a group of scientists who, while experimenting with a powerful and mysterious crystal, begin to experience catastrophic events, resulting in the disappearance of their colleagues and the imminent threat of disaster. The book explores the themes of human bravery, the dangers of scientific experimentation, and the unexpected consequences that can arise from humanity's pursuit of knowledge. The narrative follows Dave Crandall, a journalist and unintended participant in the scientific experiments with the crystal. When the crystal begins to change form and emanate deadly energy, he becomes an unlikely hero by staying behind to ensure the safety of the others. As the story progresses, he encounters the sinister forces tied to the crystal, leading him to discover a hidden world that exists between dimensions. Ultimately, he realizes that the crystal's exploitation could lead to the destruction of top scientific minds, including his own, and he must act quickly to thwart the plans of those behind the manipulations. Crandall’s journey is marked by thrilling confrontations, the challenge of disentangling himself from danger, and a blossoming relationship with Dr. Jane Nolan, culminating in a race against time to protect the future of science and humanity.
