Hamm is a science fiction novel likely written in the early 1960s. The story unfolds on the Martian plateau and revolves around a small group of explorers who must confront the harsh realities of survival after their ship is destroyed. As they navigate the treacherous landscape, themes of isolation, desperation, and the will to survive amidst the unknown are explored. The narrative follows four main characters—Bradford, Canham, Palmer, and Rodriguez—as they grapple with their dire circumstances following a catastrophic accident that leaves them stranded on Mars. After witnessing the death of two crew members, they embark on a grueling journey towards the Martian Polar Cap in search of water and potential safety. As they face the effects of dehydration, psychological strain, and deadly local fauna, their ranks dwindle further, ultimately leading to heartbreaking sacrifices. The story culminates as the last survivor reaches a bizarre, verdant oasis that reveals the planet's hidden life forms, leading to both a tragic resolution of their struggle for survival and an unsettling twist regarding the fate of humanity's exploration of Mars.
