Martin, Webber Mitchell, Clyde Jarvis, E. K. Burke, Ralph Menace From Vega Produced from Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy June 1958 Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Menace From Vega" by Randall Garrett and Robert Silverberg is a science fiction novel written in the late 1950s. The story revolves around a psychiatrist, Dr. Jim Lawrence, who becomes embroiled in an interstellar conflict after a beautiful physicist, Dr. Bette Bauer, is kidnapped by a faction from Vega. The book explores themes of telepathy, galactic conquest, and the struggle for control over a powerful weapon, all against a backdrop of otherworldly intrigue and danger. The narrative follows Dr. Lawrence as he attempts to rescue Bette from the clutches of Andsu Meero, a telepathic and malevolent Vegan. After being briefly incapacitated by Meero's henchmen, Lawrence finds himself aboard a warship controlled by a benevolent alien species, the Viagoni, who are also determined to stop the Vegans from gaining power. With the help of the Viagoni, Lawrence infiltrates the Vegan base, navigating its complexities while developing a plan to administer an incapacitating drug to the guards. The story reaches a climax as Lawrence confronts Meero, ultimately rescuing Bette just as she is about to be exploited for her knowledge of a devastating annihilation weapon. Together, they escape back to safety, setting the stage for a broader confrontation with the Vegan threat. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 84.5 (6th grade).
