Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Give Back a World" by Raymond Z. Gallun is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The narrative centers around a group of humans on a mission to colonize Mercury, a planet steeped in the remnants of ancient cosmic conflicts involving Martians and Xians. The story explores themes of exploration, survival, and the repercussions of humanity’s history as they uncover the mysteries of this hostile environment. The plot follows Rick Mills and his companions as they disembark on Mercury, only to discover the enigma surrounding a fellow team member, Frank Fane, who is the sole survivor of a previous expedition. Fane's knowledge of Mercury's dark past and his motivations lead Rick and his team into a series of harrowing encounters with automated war machines from a long-forgotten civilization. As tensions rise and Fane's intentions become increasingly questionable, Rick must navigate both the dangers of the planet and the psychological battles within their group. Ultimately, the men race against time to unlock the planet’s potential and prevent Fane from using destructive weapons, leading to a rebirth of Mercury as it rotates once more, hinting at a brighter future for the planet.
