Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Little Pets of Arkkhan" by Vaseleos Garson is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century, specifically during the 1940s. This work explores the topic of mind control and the potential consequences of alien encounters, framing its narrative around the struggles of human characters in the face of a parasitic alien intelligence that threatens their autonomy. The story follows Kent Knight and his shipmates, who crash on an asteroid inhabited by strange, furry creatures whose psychic powers can overtake human minds. Kent Knight grapples with the invasive presence of the "Thing," which seeks to dominate his thoughts and will. Throughout the narrative, Knight experiences a range of physical and mental challenges as he attempts to reclaim his identity and fight back against these alien invaders. Other crew members, including the ship's captain and a fellow astronaut named Sammy, show varying degrees of succumbed control to the Arkkhans, and Knight’s battle becomes a race against time to save not only himself and his companions but potentially all of humanity as they head back toward Earth.
