Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"Wanted—7 Fearless Engineers!" by Frederick Orlin Tremaine is a science fiction novel set in a future society where individuals are sought for their engineering skills to undertake a perilous journey. The story revolves around Dick Barrow, a down-on-his-luck young man who answers a mysterious job advertisement that leads him into a world far beyond his imagination. The narrative explores themes of opportunity, adventure, and the human spirit's resilience in the face of the unknown. At the start of the novel, we meet Dick Barrow, who struggles with unemployment during hard times and stumbles upon a classified ad seeking engineers for an undisclosed but seemingly lucrative position. This leads him to an unusual meeting with a peculiar man named Morquil, who reveals that the job requires Barrow to leave Earth forever to work among a foreign race on a distant planet. As the plot unfolds, Barrow must come to terms with marrying a woman he has never met as part of his new life, highlighting the themes of fate and responsibility. The opening chapters set the stage for an epic journey that sees Barrow and his companions confronted with the trials of a new world while uncovering their true potential as engineers and leaders.
