Summary | "The Universe Wreckers" by Edmond Hamilton is a science fiction novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the imminent threat posed to Earth as the sun begins to spin increasingly faster, threatening to break apart and devastate the solar system. The main character, Walter Hunt, finds himself embroiled in a desperate mission to journey to Neptune and confront the extraterrestrial forces behind this catastrophic event. The opening of the novel introduces us to a world on the brink of panic due to alarming astronomical phenomena. Scientists, led by Dr. Herbert Marlin, report that the sun's rotational speed has been accelerating, with dire implications for Earth and its neighboring planets. Hunt, now involved with Marlin's team, learns that the cause of this threat originates from Neptune, where intelligent beings appear to be manipulating the sun's rotational dynamics. As panic spreads and societal order crumbles, efforts to construct a spacecraft capable of reaching Neptune begin. The chapter establishes the stakes by highlighting the urgency of the mission and setting in motion the adventures that follow. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
