"Phantom of the Seven Stars" by Ray Cummings is a science fiction novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around an interplanetary luxury liner named "Seven Stars", which is on a voyage to Mars, carrying a secret cargo of electronic weapons. The novel explores themes of mystery and adventure as a phantom pirate threatens the ship and its passengers during their journey through space. The plot follows Jim Fanning, an undercover agent for the Interplanetary Patrol, who is assigned to protect the "Seven Stars" from the specter of a ghost ship that has been attacking other space vessels. As tensions rise among the strangers aboard—including the beautiful Brenda Carson and her brother, Philip—the narrative unfolds with suspenseful moments of danger and discovery. When Brenda is tragically presumed dead, it is revealed that her father may be the infamous Phantom raider. In a climactic chase, Jim finds himself pitted against the mythical pirate while trying to save both Brenda and the ship from destruction. Cummings weaves a tale filled with intrigue, evoking a vivid tableau of life in space framed by the pursuit of justice and the complexities of human emotion amidst interstellar conflict.
