- Synopsis
- You could use the introduction of the TV show Star Trek to describe the voyage of the starship Space Beagle (new life, new worlds, new civilizations). You would have to combine at least two of the alien creatures faced by the crew of the Space Beagle to match the characteristics of the creature in the movie Alien (what has blood that eats through metal, incubates its young inside humans and can survive in deep space). Yet, this book was written decades before either of these shows. Voyage of the Space Beagle is a science fiction action adventure (taking on and of course defeating all those aliens), psychological thriller (our hero Grosvenor must somehow convince the Captain and crew of the ship that he knows how to defeat those aliens, despite working in a new and little known scientific specialty) and exploration of deep scientific mysteries (just how likely is it that a single ship will encounter a single super-intelligent, super-evil creature floating in the depths of intergalactic space?).
