"Beyond the Stars" by Ray Cummings is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around Commander Len and his journey through space in a vehicle much larger than the universe itself. As the plot unfolds, he, alongside his friends and the brilliant Dr. Weatherby, embarks on a mission that explores the mysteries of the cosmos and the nature of existence. The opening of the novel introduces us to Commander Len as he navigates Liner 40 N while being pressured for time due to delays. Through a series of communications, we learn about his connection to Alice Weatherby and his friendship with Jim Dunkirk, both of whom are called to Dr. Weatherby’s home for an important matter. Upon arrival, they discover that Dr. Weatherby has been conducting pioneering research on the nature of the universe and plans to traverse the realm beyond the stars, utilizing a newly discovered scientific principle. The section establishes a blend of adventure and science, hinting at the themes of discovery and the vastness of the universe that will be explored throughout the book.
