Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Arcturus Times Three" by Jack Sharkey is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story follows Jerry Norcriss, a Space Zoologist, who experiences the lives of various alien creatures through a process known as Contact. The book explores the challenges and risks faced during extraterrestrial exploration, emphasizing themes of survival, identity, and the ethical considerations of human expansion into foreign worlds. The narrative unveils Jerry's journey through Contact as he inhabits the minds of three different life forms on the planet Arcturus Beta. Each Contact presents him with unique challenges, from encountering predatory species to struggling against the instincts of his hosts. As he learns to navigate these new existences, Jerry grapples with the implications of humanity's expansion and the potential cost to alien life forms. Ultimately, the story raises thought-provoking questions about the consequences of human intervention in the natural order of the universe and the often-overlooked rights of other sentient beings. Through Jerry's experiences, readers are drawn into a richly imaginative world where the thrill of discovery is tempered by the sobering realities of survival and coexistence.
