"Vulcan's Workshop" by Harl Vincent is a science fiction novel set in the early 20th century, specifically during the 1930s. The narrative follows the experiences of Luke Fenton, a defiant convict sentenced to a brutal penal colony on the planet Vulcan, known for its lethal gravity and harsh working conditions. The book delves into themes of survival, resilience, and the dynamic between brute strength and intelligence. The story unfolds as Luke Fenton is transported to Vulcan's Workshop, where he faces not just the oppressive environment but also the brutal treatment from guards and the despair of fellow prisoners. Despite the dire situation, he forms an unexpected alliance with Tom Fuller, a scientist who has a plan to escape. Together, they navigate the treacherous landscape of Vulcan, contend with the lethal effects of X.C. disease, and confront the nature of power and intellect versus raw physical strength. Their journey ultimately leads to a dramatic escape attempt, testing their resolve and forcing Luke to confront his previous beliefs about strength and vulnerability, ultimately transforming him along the way.
