Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Spacemen Lost" by George O. Smith is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around the interplay of characters involved in a space mission gone awry, particularly highlighting Commodore Theodore Wilson and his romantic interest, Alice Hemingway, who finds herself aboard a spaceflight that encounters peril. The narrative sets the stage for themes of love, duty, and survival as characters grapple with both the vastness of space and their personal relationships. The opening of "Spacemen Lost" introduces readers to the terminal scene where passersby are notified of an impending space flight, particularly drawing attention to the interactions between Wilson and Hemingway. Wilson's unease about Hemingway's participation in the flight is evident through a exchange filled with emotional tension, leading to a proposal of marriage under less than ideal circumstances. Meanwhile, the narrative soon shifts to a separate fleet led by Viggon Sarri, tasked with monitoring the situation as they learn of the disaster involving Spaceflight Seventy-nine. The characters' contrasting responses to the emerging crisis set an engaging tone for the unfolding drama in deep space.
