Summary: "Star Chamber" by H. B. Fyfe is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. Set in an isolated world beyond the boundaries of human exploration, the narrative revolves around themes of justice and rehabilitation. Fyfe explores the dynamics between a law enforcement officer and a fugitive, delving into the moral implications of punishment versus the obligation of society to help its members heal. The story centers on Quasmin, a fugitive hiding on an uncharted planet after a series of crimes, including murder and drug smuggling. When J. Trolla, a law enforcement officer, lands on the planet, he quickly discovers Quasmin's presence and confronts him about his past. The two engage in a tense dialogue where Trolla assumes the roles of judge and jury, questioning the very foundations of justice outside of civilization. As Quasmin attempts to evade Trolla and manipulate the situation to his advantage, Trolla leaves behind supplies and tools, suggesting a deeper complexity regarding societal obligations to criminals. Ultimately, Quasmin realizes he has been sentenced to a lifetime of isolation, confronting the consequences of his actions in a unique twist on justice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
