| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "A Time to Die" by Harold Calin is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The narrative revolves around Captain Robert Kingsford and his fateful expedition to Aldebaran IX, where he confronts a terrible creature that embodies both his personal demons and a metaphorical evil that haunts mankind. The book explores themes of heroism, the human spirit, and the consequences of ambition, drawing parallels to classic tales of obsession and destruction, like Herman Melville's "Moby Dick." The story is told through the perspective of Philip "Buck" Rogers, the executive officer on Kingsford's mission. After a previous expedition ended in tragedy, Kingsford, now driven by a need for redemption, leads a new crew to harvest precious ores from Aldebaran IX. However, their journey becomes a harrowing struggle against a colossal flying beast that threatens not only their lives but also challenges the very essence of humanity itself. As the narrative unfolds, Rogers must grapple with Kingsford’s obsession, facing moral dilemmas and ultimately witnessing the catastrophic consequences of ambition unchecked. It is a tale that highlights the thin line between bravery and folly, portraying a cosmic struggle that leaves Rogers as the sole survivor, contemplating the true nature of life's purpose amidst loneliness and despair.
