Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Forgotten Danger" by William Morrison is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story revolves around the character Crusoe, who suffers from amnesia and grapples with a looming sense of danger that he cannot fully comprehend. Set against a backdrop of intrigue and otherworldly elements, the narrative explores themes of identity, memory, and the struggle to recall one's past. The plot follows Crusoe as he wakes up near a swamp with no memory except for the feeling that he is in grave danger. He is found by a group of ragtag men, including Angel and the Professor, who take him under their wing. As he navigates through the challenges of his amnesia, Crusoe discovers he possesses strange powers that cause weapons to explode upon his pointing gesture. His journey leads him to uncover the mystery of his identity, revealing that he is actually an alien named Tlaxon, trapped on Earth after a crash landing. The tale culminates in a confrontation with the Professor, who turns out to be a malevolent being, and Crusoe must decide whether to save his newfound friend, Angel, or allow the Professor to face justice. The story offers a blend of suspense, action, and the exploration of personal and cosmic stakes.
