| Summary | "Ordeal in Space" by Ralph Sloan is a science fiction novel likely written in the late 1940s. This gripping narrative follows Lieutenant Mike Logan, a man torn between his duty and his desire for revenge, as he faces off against his brother's murderer, Edward Snyder, during a perilous journey through space. The story explores themes of justice, morality, and the psychological struggles of its characters within a futuristic setting. The plot centers on Logan, who has captured Snyder to transport him back to Earth for execution. However, what begins as a mission of vengeance evolves into a harrowing ordeal when disaster strikes their space vessel. Trapped together in a precarious situation, the tension between Logan and Snyder heightens as they grapple with their motivations and instincts. As they navigate the challenges of space travel and their turbulent dynamic, Logan confronts his internal demons, ultimately culminating in a confrontation that tests his resolve. Throughout the story, the sense of justice, the weight of past grievances, and the complex nature of revenge are poignantly examined, making for a thought-provoking and thrilling read.
