Summary "The Highest Treason" by Randall Garrett is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story centers on Colonel Sebastian MacMaine, an officer in Earth's Space Force, who finds himself imprisoned by the alien race known as the Kerothi, amidst an interstellar war. The central theme revolves around his complicated allegiance to his captors as he strategizes to secure a winning path in the conflict while grappling with his own identity and loyalties. The opening of the novel introduces us to Colonel MacMaine's situation as a prisoner who seems to be living in a combination of captivity and comfort under the watchful eyes of the Kerothi. As he engages in discussions with General Polan Tallis, a Kerothi officer, it becomes clear that MacMaine is adept at military strategy, and his recommendations have caught the interest of his captors. We witness the development of an unusual camaraderie between MacMaine and Tallis, setting the stage for MacMaine's eventual decision to fight alongside the Kerothi in hopes of perhaps turning the tide of the war. The narrative raises questions about loyalty, freedom, and what it means to fight for one’s survival in a world where alliances can shift dramatically. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
