Summary: "Revenge of the Vera" by Henry Hasse is a science fiction novel originally published in the early 1940s. The story is set in a futuristic space environment where piracy threatens interplanetary trade, and it revolves around themes of vengeance and sacrifice. The narrative follows the protagonist's quest for retribution against a notorious space pirate responsible for the death of his beloved. In the plot, the main character, Bob Kennett, is motivated by a tragic past involving the loss of his fiancée, Vera, who perished during a pirate attack on a passenger liner. Driven by anger and determination, he orchestrates a plan to lure the pirate, known as Prather, into a trap using the old freighter Vera as bait. With the assistance of a newsman named George Marnay, Kennett manipulates the situation to confront Prather. The conflict culminates in a thrilling culmination where Kennett's innovative strategy, involving a segmented version of the freighter that delivers devastating attacks, ultimately leads to the destruction of Prather’s ship, allowing Kennett to have his long-desired revenge. The novel balances action with emotional depth, capturing the protagonist's inner turmoil and the sacrifices he makes in pursuit of justice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
