Summary "Suicide Command" by Stanley Mullen is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story unfolds in the vastness of space and centers on a desperate rescue mission involving the crew of the ISP cruiser Scorpio, who must confront a catastrophic situation aboard the spaceliner Tellus, which is breaking apart due to critical failure. As they scramble to save survivors from the doomed vessel, the themes of heroism, sacrifice, and the human condition in the face of dire circumstances emerge. The narrative predominantly follows Lieutenant Blaze Norman, who finds himself thrust into leadership amid chaos as the guys aboard the Tellus attempt to fight against impending doom caused by radiation leaks and ship disintegration. As Norman and his team undertake the perilous task of rescuing the surviving passengers and crew, they learn that not all may survive, leading to harrowing decisions about who to save. The tension escalates as they realize the Tellus is on a collision course with destruction, forcing them to navigate their way to the rogue asteroid Hidalgo. In the process, they confront not just the challenges of survival but the psychological toll of their experiences, culminating in a haunting conclusion that raises questions about the nature of madness and sacrifice in extraordinary situations.
