"Let 'Em Breathe Space!" by Lester Del Rey is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story unfolds aboard the spaceship "Wahoo", which carries a crew of eighteen men and two women on a treacherous five-month expedition to Saturn. As tensions rise due to cramped quarters, inadequate food, and mysterious accidents that threaten their survival, the crew finds themselves facing not only cabin fever but also the very real possibility of murder among them. The opening of the book establishes a tense atmosphere, revealing protagonist Paul Tremaine’s frustrations with the onboard dynamics and his growing animosity towards his fellow crew members. He recounts previous incidents that have put the scientists at risk, including food poisoning and a potential sabotage. As he prepares to confront the day, a commotion breaks out in the mess hall, indicating further strife among the crew. When Tremaine discovers the corpse of Hendrix, the expedition's biologist, among the wilting hydroponics plants, panic sets in, revealing the underlying deceit and rising threat of murder as the crew's air and food supplies dwindle due to inexplicable sabotage. The stage is set for a gripping mystery as the characters must grapple with fear, distrust, and the fight for survival. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
