Spacehounds of IPC

by E. E. Smith

In a future where humanity has expanded beyond Earth, the Inter-Planetary Corporation (IPC) dominates space travel. When a routine flight to Mars goes awry, the 'IPV Arcturus' faces unexpected challenges. Dr. Percival Stevens, a brilliant physicist, investigates inconsistencies in navigation data, leading to a confrontation with a mysterious, globe-shaped spaceship. This encounter sets off a chain of events that thrusts the crew of the 'Arcturus' into an unknown and potentially perilous situation. As the story unfolds, the characters grapple with the consequences of advanced technology, the dangers of interstellar travel, and the complex ethical considerations of navigating a rapidly evolving spacefaring society. The book explores themes of scientific inquiry, technological advancement, and the human spirit's capacity to adapt to the unknown.
