Schmitz is a science fiction novel likely written during the early 1960s. The narrative revolves around themes of survival, betrayal, and interstellar conflict, focusing on humanity's encounter with an alien species. The plot addresses the psychological and ethical implications of a group of humans held captive by the Tareegs, who are determined to transform their arid planet into one resembling their aquatic homeworld while orchestrating a sinister plan against Earth. The story follows Jerry Newland, a courier pilot, who awakens from a prolonged recovery period after a crash, only to find himself in a precarious situation where he, along with engineer Troy Gordon, must navigate the treacherous landscape of alien politics and betrayal within their own ranks. Newland grapples with fragmented memories and the reality of their captors while Gordon endeavors to mobilize a daring escape plan. As the plot unfolds, the dynamic between the captives and the Tareegs becomes increasingly complex, revealing a plot involving betrayal from within their expedition itself. The novel mixes elements of suspense and sci-fi adventure, culminating in a critical revelation about the fate of the Tareegs and the mission of the human crew.
