"No Hiding Place" by Richard R. Smith is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century. The book delves into a harrowing tale of survival in the aftermath of an extraterrestrial attack on Earth, exploring themes of heroism, despair, and the fight for survival in the coldness of space. The story revolves around Emmett Corbin, a carpenter who finds himself aboard one of the last ships escaping a devastated Earth. Alongside him are Gloria White, the daughter of a Venian expedition leader, and George Hartman, a pilot grappling with the reality of their dire situation. As they realize they are being pursued by the ruthless Agronians, they must make the critical decision to hide outside the ship rather than facing certain death. Their journey takes a desperate turn when they attempt to infiltrate the enemy's ship in hopes of escaping to the colony on Venus, leading to a tense confrontation with their alien foes. Ultimately, Emmett discovers a way to utilize the Agronians’ weakness against them, employing their own environment to secure survival for himself, Gloria, and George. The novel builds on the tension of space, conflict, and the resilience of human spirit against overwhelming odds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
