Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Space-Wolf" by Ray Cummings is a science fiction novel written during the early 20th century. The story is set on Titan, a moon of Saturn, and centers around themes of adventure and exploration, specifically focusing on the search for a valuable element called Zolonite. The narrative follows the protagonist, Solo Morgan, as he encounters strange creatures and a young girl who has grown up in isolation on the moon. The plot begins with Morgan's expedition to Titan in search of Zolonite, a mineral far more valuable than radium. His journey takes a twist when he encounters Nada, a girl who speaks English and possesses a mysterious background linked to her scientist father, who sought to create a new society in the wilderness. As they navigate the dangers of Titan, including space-pirates and intelligent creatures, Morgan becomes protective of Nada, realizing that their bond is more significant than his quest for wealth. The climax features a dramatic confrontation with the pirates, which culminates in a unique alliance involving the moon's animal inhabitants, revealing a deeper commentary on connection and companionship in a harsh world.
