"Subspace Survivors" by E. E. Smith is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around the crew and passengers of the starship "Procyon", who face an unexplainable disaster in subspace travel. The narrative delves into themes of survival against the unknown and explores human relationships and psychic abilities amidst perilous circumstances. The plot follows First Officer Carlyle Deston as he navigates a catastrophic event during the "Procyon's" journey through hyperspace. Soon after takeoff, the ship encounters a sudden and violent incident, leading to a distressing abandonment scenario. Deston and his fellow survivors, including his love interest Barbara Warner, must work together to confront the dangers that arise aboard the wrecked ship and navigate the challenges of being stranded in an unexplored region of space. As they grapple with threats both from inside their group and external forces, they also explore their unique psychic abilities, which may hold the key to their survival and escape from the mysterious phenomena that caused their plight.
