520 _a"Proktols of Neptune" by Henry Hasse is a science fiction novel, likely written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around themes of alien encounters and survival, as it explores the horrific realities of a race of beings known as Proktols inhabiting the moon of Neptune. As the title suggests, the narrative delves into space adventures marked by danger and the unknown. In the book, Commander Janus and his crew aboard the patrol ship "Wasp" encounter a derelict spaceship, which leads them to the Proktols and their rituals. Rumors of the Proktols haunt the crew, suggesting they partake in unspeakable tortures. The Earthmen quickly find themselves trapped as the Proktols capture them for an intended ceremony, where they must select one among themselves for a gruesome ritual of sacrifice meant to feed a sentient Brain that controls the Proktols. The narrative escalates tension as Janus and his remaining crew seek ways to escape and return to Earth, vowing to confront the alien threat that lingers despite their harrowing experience. The book emphasizes fear of the unknown and the consequences of curiosity in the vast emptiness of space. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
