Summary "Dark Recess" by George O. Smith is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story delves into complex themes of mathematics, psychology, and the dangers of unrestrained scientific exploration. The primary narrative follows Clifford Maculay, a gifted physicist who, while on a sabbatical, unwittingly becomes involved in a cosmic mystery that threatens the very fabric of the universe due to his groundbreaking equations on negative space. In this tale, Clifford Maculay struggles with personal and professional challenges, ultimately undergoing a transformation due to a unique therapeutic approach from Doctor Hanson. As he is hypnotized and encouraged to abandon his obsessive work ethic, Maculay explores a freer, more liberated lifestyle. This leads him to a series of escapades on Venus, where he meets and develops a dynamic relationship with Ava Longacre. However, a looming threat emerges when his assistant, Redmond, seeks to unravel the mysteries of Maculay's theories, potentially unleashing catastrophic consequences. The novel intricately weaves themes of self-discovery and the perils of ambition, culminating in a dramatic revelation about the effects of manipulating space and time.
