Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Hawk Carse" by Anthony Gilmore is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the character Hawk Carse, a daring space adventurer known for his lawless exploits and formidable prowess in the treacherous frontiers of space. It explores themes of survival, vengeance, and the Clash between law and anarchy as Carse confronts dangerous foes in a richly imagined universe. The opening of the story introduces readers to Hawk Carse as he journeys to Iapetus, a satellite of Saturn, to collect valuable horn from a creature called phanti. As he nears his destination, he learns that his ranch has been besieged and overrun by pirates under the infamous Judd the Kite, a one-time enemy. Carse rushes to rescue his men, who have been slaughtered in the attack, and he grapples with the implications of loss and betrayal. The beginning sets the stage for a high-stakes confrontation between Carse and the pirates, leading to a deadly showdown that intertwines elements of adventure with the grim realities of the lives of traders in space.
