The Next Time We Die by Robert Moore Williams
"The Next Time We Die" by Robert Moore Williams is a science fiction novel likely written in the mid-20th century. The story explores themes of survival, human evolution, and the cyclical nature of life and death as it follows characters navigating dangers on an unnamed desert planet, which is suggested to be Mars. The narrative reflects on deeper philosophical questions regarding humanity's struggle against extinction and the search for meaning in existence.
The plot centers around Pike McLean, a roustabout, and Nora Martin, an archeologist, as they find themselves trapped in a hostile environment inhabited by aggressive native tribesmen. While searching for ancient ruins, they face life-and-death challenges, forcing them to confront both external danger and their own emotional connections. As they fight for survival against the backdrop of an unforgiving desert, themes of reincarnation and the indomitable spirit of humanity emerge, culminating in a poignant reflection on their shared hopes for a future together, despite the brutal realities they face. Ultimately, their struggle raises questions about the worthiness of their sacrifices and the potential for rebirth in a future life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
