Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Star Lord" by Boyd Ellanby is a science fiction novel likely written in the early 1950s. The story revolves around the maiden voyage of a massive spaceship named the Star Lord, captained by Josiah Evans, who must navigate both the complexities of space travel and the psychological tensions among the diverse passengers aboard. As fate would have it, the ship is at risk of encountering potentially disastrous phenomena known as Thakura Ripples, which threaten not just the vessel itself but the lives of all on board. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Captain Evans as he prepares for the ship's first journey, filled with pride and excitement. He is soon joined by a range of characters, including burl Jasperson, the Chairman of the board, and passengers Alan Chase and Tanya Taganova. As the crew makes the crossing into hyperspace, concerns arise regarding the mysterious Ripples, and various passengers react differently to the impending journey. The opening sets the stage for a blend of adventure and suspense, hinting at both the triumphs and perils that accompany a flight through uncharted territories of space.
