Swain is a science fiction novel written in the late 1950s. The story embraces themes of survival, power, and human ambition as it details the perilous journey of a man named Lewis Thigpen, who holds the key to a life-altering secret coveted by many. As multiple factions converge on him for this secret, it raises questions about morality, the price of knowledge, and the lengths people will go to in pursuit of eternal life. The opening of the novel plunges readers directly into tension and action, as Thigpen is on the run after a crash landing on a desolate Venusian landscape. A mysterious woman named Veta Hall offers him a deal that revolves around a "life catalyst" thought to provide youth and vitality, a creation that has already led to death and destruction. As Thigpen evades capture by various adversaries, including a deadly slaver named Igor Cheng, the narrative establishes an urgent pace as Thigpen grapples with his past deeds and the dangerous world unfolding around him, setting the stage for a thrilling exploration of ambition, betrayal, and the fundamental human desire for immortality.
