520 _a"Space Blackout" by Sam Carson is a science fiction novel likely written in the early to mid-20th century. The story revolves around themes of exploration, survival, and the consequences of technological advancements as humanity reaches beyond Earth. It focuses on the interactions between Earthmen and Martians, centering on a critical mission to save a civilization facing imminent destruction from a cosmic threat. The narrative follows Jerry Kos, a master navigator, and Jim Drake, captain of the Cosmic Survey ship Pelios, as they embark on a perilous journey to the distant planet Spor. Tasked by Shadrak, a Martian leader, they must evacuate the descendants of ancient Atlantis before a menacing dark nebula called Noir obliterates Spor. Upon arrival, they encounter a peaceful society that is resistant to leaving their home, despite the imminent danger. As political tensions rise, led by the antagonist Garok, the two Earthmen must navigate through skepticism and civil unrest to convince the Spor citizens to flee. Ultimately, their efforts lead to chaos and destruction, culminating in a harrowing escape with only a small, living reminder of the once-thriving world. The story captures the struggles between duty and the complexities of human attachment to home, reflecting on the challenges of saving a civilization when faced with hopelessness.
