Whittington is a science fiction novel likely written in the mid-20th century, specifically during the post-World War II era. The story revolves around the adventures of two rookie officers in the Inter-Planetary Patrol as they navigate the dangers of asteroids and space piracy, ultimately seeking excitement and danger beyond the mundane routine of their patrol duties. In the book, Nord Holber and his partner Mike Doren are tasked with "asteroid fishing", a monotonous job of clearing space lanes from hazardous fragments in the Asteroid Belt. Their routine quickly shifts when they receive an urgent communication about the infamous space pirate, Dhain Kadine, who has raided a space liner and is making his way toward a safe haven in the Belt with valuable stolen documents. Seizing the opportunity for glory, the two officers confront Kadine, leading to an intense battle in which they employ clever tactics and ingenuity to overcome the outlaw’s superior steel-hulled ship. Ultimately, they form a plan that not only empowers them to capture Kadine but also allows them to contribute significantly to their Patrol’s mission, transforming their initial drudgery into a thrilling adventure.
