Summary "The Love Song of Lancelot Biggs" by Nelson S. Bond is a science fiction novella written in the early 1940s. The story follows Lt. Lancelot Biggs and his crew aboard the space-freighter "Saturn" as they embark on an unusual mission delivering flower seeds to the moon of Iapetus. The tale combines elements of humor, adventure, and romance, presenting Lancelot Biggs as a well-meaning but eccentric character whose unconventional ideas lead to unforeseen complications. In the narrative, Lt. Biggs is excited to surprise his wife Diane with fresh flowers on the anniversary of their wedding, but his plans spiral out of control when an experiment to hasten the growth of the seeds results in unexpected mutations. The crew races against time and a competing corporation, as they attempt to reach Iapetus before their rivals. Amidst the chaos, Biggs' determination leads to the discovery of a unique blue rose, which ultimately provides a twist to the mission that holds the potential for great fortune. The story explores themes of love, ingenuity, and the clash between ambition and reality set against a whimsical space opera backdrop. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
