| Summary |
"Doomsday on Ajiat" by Neil R. Jones is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Professor Jameson, who, through his eccentric experiments, achieves a means of preserving his body by launching it into space after his death. The narrative unfolds as his preserved body becomes the focal point of a new adventure millions of years later. In the book, after forty million years of drifting through space, Professor Jameson's body is discovered by machine beings known as Zoromes, who transfer his consciousness into a mechanical body. As the Zoromes explore the remnants of Earth, they must navigate a cosmic crisis: a meteoric swarm is on a collision course with the sun, which will cause a supernova, annihilating all life in the solar system. The Zoromes crash on a planet they name Ajiat, inhabited by massive creatures, and they must work against the clock to repair their spaceship and escape the planet before the impending disaster strikes. The narrative blends themes of survival, exploration, and the intersection between organic life and artificial intelligence while addressing the challenges posed by cosmic phenomena.
