| Summary | "Evans of the Earth-Guard" by Edmond Hamilton is a science fiction novel created in the early 20th century, specifically during the 1930s. The book centers around interplanetary travel and the challenges faced by a space patrol organization known as the Earth-Guard, which protects commerce between Earth and the Moon from space pirates. The narrative follows Captain Wright Evans and his crew as they encounter the notorious space pirate known as the Hawk, who has eluded capture for years. The story begins with Evans on a high-speed pursuit to rescue a one-man rocket from the Hawk. As the plot unfolds, Evans encounters Francis Seaworth, a secret agent on a mission to uncover the Hawk's base on the Moon. After an intense space chase and a surprising twist where the Hawk is revealed to have infiltrated the Earth-Guard ship, Evans ultimately outsmarts the pirate and saves the day. With clever tactics, he manages to prevent the Hawk from escaping with the Earth-Guard vessel, culminating in a thrilling final encounter. In the end, while Evans successfully thwarts the Hawk's plan, the tale reflects the ongoing struggle of the Earth-Guard against piracy and the quest for glory amidst personal and public challenges.
