| Summary |
"Trouble Near the Sun" by Alan J. Ramm is a science fiction novel likely written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around the crew of the salvage vessel "Cerebus III" as they embark on a perilous mission to rescue the crew and passengers of the sun cruiser "Regis" after receiving an emergency distress signal. The narrative explores themes of bravery, teamwork, and the inner workings of space operations, particularly under the dramatic and dangerous conditions near the sun. The plot begins with Captain Stevens and his crew responding to a critical situation involving the "Regis", which is compromised by malfunctioning equipment while dangerously close to the sun. The challenge intensifies as the crew, particularly Ensigns Bull Wright and Skip Allen, must set aside their differences and work together to avert disaster. Their rescue attempts are fraught with complications, including ship malfunctions and the perilous environment of the sun's chromosphere. Ultimately, through their courage and quick thinking, they manage to create the conditions necessary for a successful rescue, learning important lessons about teamwork and self-worth along the way.
