Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net  a"Double-Cross" by James Mac Creigh is a science fiction novella written during the early to mid-20th century. The story unfolds on Venus, focusing on a brewing revolt led by the descendant of the first Earthmen to land on the planet. The narrative revolves around political intrigue, betrayal, and the clash of cultures between the Earth colonists and the native Venusians.  The plot follows Svan, who intends to sabotage an Earth-ship and prevent the return of its crew to Earth. Svan believes that an influx of Earth colonists will threaten the existence of the Venusians, who have acclimated to their environment and feel disconnected from their Earth roots. As Svan orchestrates a plan with a group of conspirators to plant a bomb on the ship, tensions rise, revealing the underlying fear and doubts among his followers. In the climax, Svan's plan is thwarted when his peers attempt to rescue him, leading to a tragic explosion that encapsulates the theme of betrayal. The story ends with a haunting twist, leaving readers to ponder the consequences of fear and the desperate measures people will take to protect their culture.
