| Summary | "The Butterfly Kiss" by Arthur Dekker Savage is a science fiction novel written during the early to mid-20th century. The narrative delves into the themes of loyalty, identity, and the intricacies of interstellar politics as it follows the characters navigating a universe on the brink of war. The book explores the potential consequences and moral dilemmas arising from technological advancements and human capabilities. The story revolves around Sykin Supcel, a uniquely gifted individual, and his connections with Dr. Horace Wilton, Chief Military Psychologist of the Solar Navy, and Arna, a highly intelligent mathematical prodigy. When Sy is kidnapped by the Sur-Malic, a hostile alien race, Dr. Wilton is roped into the governmental investigation surrounding the abduction. Unbeknownst to his captors, Sy employs his cunning to manipulate the situation in his favor while secretly working with Arna to sabotage the Sur-Malic's military plans. The narrative balances tense action sequences with emotional undertones as Sy and Arna's personal relationship evolves amidst the chaotic backdrop of war, leading to a dramatic climax where their collaboration could either save or doom their worlds.
