"Dead World" by Jack Douglas is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. Set in a distant future where the United Galaxies have outlawed war and established a complex societal hierarchy, it explores themes of identity, survival, and the pursuit of dreams against insurmountable odds. The story primarily revolves around the character of Commander Red Stone and his encounters with the refugees from a dead planet, Nova-Maurania, who seek to revive their home against the wishes of the Galactic Council. The narrative follows Commander Red Stone and his Free Company as they navigate a perilous contract to escort a mining mission to Nova-Maurania. Among the crew is Yuan Saltario, an "unstable" refugee from the dead planet, who has a dream of reviving his icy world using powerful ionic energy. As the mission unfolds, they face attacks and challenges from various factions, all while racing against time to realize Saltario’s audacious plan. The story culminates in a desperate battle where Red Stone must choose between following orders or supporting the refugees’ dream of a new beginning, ultimately leading to a momentous decision that could change everything for those lost souls yearning for life amidst the stars.
