"Cave-Dwellers of Saturn" by John Wiggin is a science fiction novel written in the late 1930s. The story revolves around a young soldier named Dynamon who is tasked with leading an expedition to Saturn to find a substance called "tridium," which is believed to have the ability to neutralize a lethal Martian weapon known as the Photo-Atomic Ray. As tensions between Earth and Mars escalate, Dynamon must navigate both the dangers of interplanetary travel and the challenges posed by hostile martians. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the peaceful city of Copia and the looming threat from Martian forces. Dynamon receives his mission from the Commander-in-Chief, which comes with the weight of potentially saving Earth's civilization. Soon, he finds himself surrounded by the pressures of duty and personal relationships, particularly with a young woman named Keltry, who goes to great lengths to join him on his perilous journey. The opening sequences set the stage for an adventure filled with dramatic space travel, imminent danger from Martians, and the discovery of an entirely new world as they land on Saturn, deepening the plot with themes of heroism, survival, and the quest for knowledge.
