| Summary | "Design for Doomsday" by Bryce Walton is a science fiction novel, likely written in the mid-20th century. The story unfolds in a dystopian future where Earth has fallen under the oppressive rule of the Martians, particularly dominated by a dictatorial figure known as Zharkon. It primarily revolves around the themes of rebellion, hope, and the struggle for freedom as Terran Guardsman Karl Venard and his companion Louis Larson grapple with despair and seek a way to escape from their grim fate in the Martians' concentration camps. The narrative picks up as Venard and Larson plan their desperate escape using a powerful memory-crystal that contains explosive materials, but things take a turn when Venard learns of a possible uprising sparked by the injury of Zharkon's brain. He ultimately finds himself on a treacherous mission to secure Zharkon's original brain from the mysterious Solar Science City, where dark forces are at play under the influence of an enigmatic Jovian presence. As main characters face daunting challenges, including treacherous alien creatures and betrayal, they navigate a twisty path filled with sacrifice, unravel the depth of interplanetary politics, and confront the precarious nature of freedom, ultimately leading to a dramatic conclusion where the fate of countless lives rests in their hands.
