Summary "The Star-Stealers" by Edmond Hamilton is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around an impending cosmic disaster as a gigantic dark star approaches the Milky Way, threatening to pull the sun and all its planets into the depths of space. With a focus on interstellar adventure, the narrative combines elements of space exploration, scientific discovery, and human ingenuity to avert an existential crisis. The protagonist, Ran Rarak, is a captain of a cruiser belonging to the Federation of Stars, which has called him back from duty to confront this extraordinary threat. Upon learning from Hurus Hol, the chief of the Bureau of Astronomical Knowledge, that the dark star's path has changed—now veering dangerously close to their sun—Rarak leads a fleet of ships to confront this menace. Alongside his crew, he battles against strange alien creatures and their advanced technologies, ultimately discovering that these beings seek to steal their sun to save their own dying sun. After an intense series of confrontations, the fleet manages to disable the gravitational device powering the dark star, preserving their sun and ensuring the survival of their solar system while exploring themes of sacrifice, resilience, and teamwork.
