| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Earth Needs a Killer" by Bryce Walton is a dynamic feature novel written in the early 1950s. This science fiction story explores themes of morality and the consequences of power through a gripping narrative filled with intrigue and telepathic abilities. The plot revolves around the existential threat to humanity, as the protagonist is tasked with an extraordinary mission involving not only survival but also complex psychological manipulation. The story follows Ray Berton, a man with a troubled past as a drunken brawler who finds himself on the planet Mars, where he inadvertently kills a man in a bar fight. Ray's life takes a dramatic turn when he is saved by two beings, Malcolm and Glora Mergon, who possess immense mental powers. They reveal that Earth is on the brink of destruction due to the machinations of Ronal LeStrang, a corrupt atomic energy executive who has placed ten critical uranium piles on the verge of self-destruction through a hidden mental command. Given new telepathic abilities, Ray's mission is to kill LeStrang to save humanity, but he struggles with his own identity and the morality of murder. As he grapples with his choices and the nature of power, Ray evolves into both a pawn and potential savior in a cosmic game, ultimately leading to a climactic confrontation that challenges not just his values but the very essence of reality itself.
