Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Project Hush" by William Tenn is a science fiction novella written in the early 1950s. The story revolves around a highly secretive military operation aimed at establishing a permanent armed base on the Moon before any potential adversary can do so. The underlying theme explores the intricacies of secrecy, military operations, and the impact of competition in space exploration during the height of the Cold War. The narrative follows Colonel Benjamin Rice and his team as they embark on their mission to set up a base on the lunar surface. Upon landing, they unexpectedly discover evidence of another dome, leading to a tense situation where they must assess whether it belongs to hostile alien creatures or enemy forces from Earth. As Major Monroe Gridley scouts the area, an unexpected twist reveals that the other dome is a U.S. Navy base. This revelation highlights the absurdity of their situation and the intense secrecy surrounding Project Hush, a facet that shapes the overarching tension of the story. The plot balances suspense and humor, ultimately reflecting on the nature of competition and collaboration in a world where confidentiality reigns supreme.
