| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Shock Absorber" by E. G. Von Wald is a science fiction narrative that explores themes of military strategy and psychological warfare in a futuristic setting. Written in the mid-20th century, it delves into the complexities of leadership and human behavior against the backdrop of a war between humans and an alien race. The story centers on a group of military personnel dealing with the challenges posed by the newly commissioned Psi Corps officers, who possess extra-rational mental faculties deemed essential for combat. The plot revolves around Commander Frendon, the new captain of a battle-worn space combat ship, who faces skepticism and hostility from his crew, who believe he is a "sickman" affiliated with the Psi Corps. Lieutenant Alton Maise, the executive officer, navigates the subtle tensions among the crew as they grapple with their distrust of Frendon’s leadership, which they believe relies on guesswork rather than strategy. As the narrative unfolds, Frendon struggles to earn the crew's respect while an underlying conspiracy regarding his qualifications emerges, culminating in a ruse to either undermine or discredit him. The characters reflect on loyalty, fear, and survival as they prepare for imminent combat with alien forces. Through these dynamics, Von Wald presents a compelling examination of trust, command, and the psychological strains of warfare. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
