Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Flame Breathers" by Ray Cummings is a science fiction novel written in the early 1940s, during the Golden Age of Science Fiction. This narrative follows a daring expedition to the planet Vulcan, where the main characters encounter strange lifeforms and face the threats of an alien world. The story captures the adventurous spirit of exploration in outer space combined with an atmosphere of suspense and danger as the crew uncovers the mystery behind Vulcan and its inhabitants. The novel centers around Bob Grant and his team, Jan Holden and Peter Torrence, as they travel to the planet Vulcan after a previous expedition went missing. Upon their arrival, they discover a desolate, metallic landscape inhabited by hostile creatures known as "Orgs" and mysterious flame-like beings called "fire-mimes." The team quickly faces peril as they navigate encounters with the Orgs, uncovering the fate of the previous explorers, and dealing with internal conflict among themselves. As the story unfolds, the characters find themselves in a fight for survival when their relationships and courage are put to the test, particularly for Jan, whose heroic actions become pivotal in the face of danger. The tale culminates in a gripping climax that explores themes of bravery, loyalty, and the consequences of exploration.
