Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Highwayman of the Void" by Dirk Wylie is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. This gripping narrative follows the character Steve Nolan, an outlaw who returns from the dead to confront his nemesis, Alan Woller, a former boss who falsely framed him for treason. The book delves into themes of revenge, survival, and the complexities of human morality in a futuristic setting filled with galactic intrigue and danger. The story unfolds as Nolan, thought to be dead after a failed prison escape, makes his way to Port Avalon on Pluto, driven by a desire for vengeance against Woller, who has risen to power within a shipping company. Along the way, Nolan encounters various challenges, including monstrous creatures and treacherous terrain. The plot intensifies when he confronts Woller aboard the spaceship "Dragonfly", leading to a dramatic struggle for survival. As Nolan navigates through a web of deceit and conflict, he must also contend with the unexpected presence of a young woman connected to Woller, fueling both his motivations and the emotional stakes of the story. The narrative culminates in a showdown that tests Nolan's resolve and ultimately intertwines his fate with that of Woller and the mysterious girl.
