| Summary | "Spacehounds of IPC" by E. E. Smith is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. This interplanetary adventure centers around the experiences of the crew aboard the Interplanetary Vessel "Arcturus" as they embark on a journey to Mars, navigating both the technical challenges of space travel and the unexpected dangers they encounter. The story sets the stage for thrilling encounters and challenges in the vastness of space. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the "Arcturus" and its crew as they prepare for takeoff to Mars, including the chief pilot, Breckenridge, and a young computer expert named Steve. As they run through a series of careful checks and calculations, we get a glimpse into the intricate technology and protocols governing their journey. However, the narrative quickly escalates as the vessel comes under attack, leading to catastrophic damage forcing Stevens and a passenger named Nadia to escape into one of the ship's lifeboats. They find themselves stranded on Ganymede, where they must figure out how to survive and possibly make contact with the outside world while dealing with the omnipresent threat of their assailants.
