Summary: "The Beacon to Elsewhere" by James H. Schmitz is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story centers around a complex conspiracy involving the theft of a powerful substance called Ym-400, which has the potential to manipulate space-time. The narrative unfolds through several key characters, primarily focusing on Lieutenant Frank Dowland of the Interstellar Police Authority, who is investigating the mystery behind the theft and its dire implications. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a universe where significant forces—rebels, police, and alien entities—collide as they seek control over this mysterious element. The narrative quickly develops tension as Dowland receives critical information about the hijacking of a transport containing Ym-400, which has significant political and scientific ramifications. As he navigates through layers of intrigue that involve the enigmatic Trelawney family and their questionable experiments, Dowland must contend with the risks posed by Ym-400, leading to an engaging tale filled with suspense, conspiracy and exploration of the unknown.
