Doolin, Joseph 1896 1967 Doolin, Joseph Patrick Mutiny Produced from Planet Stories Fall 1945 Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Mutiny" by Larry Offenbecker is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century. The story centers around Captain Todd Rawson and his command of the space ship "Star Flight", which becomes embroiled in a battle for authority as mutiny brews among the crew. The book explores themes of leadership, scientific knowledge versus practical experience, and the dynamics of command under duress, all within the backdrop of interstellar travel. In the narrative, Captain Rawson faces severe opposition from his underofficer, Durk, and the experienced crew members who often challenge his authority due to their belief in practical expertise over scientific knowledge. As a distress call from Saturn urges the ship to deliver a life-saving serum amidst a plague, Rawson must navigate both the physical dangers of space storms and the treacherous politics of his crew. When mutiny ultimately overtakes the crew, resulting in the ship getting stuck in deadly quicksand on a desolate planet, Rawson must rely on his understanding of science and engineering to regain control and rescue his crew. Through perseverance and ingenuity, Rawson demonstrates the importance of knowledge and self-respect in overcoming both external and internal conflicts, ultimately proving his worth as a captain and leader.
