Summary "Cosmic Castaway" by Carl Jacobi is a science fiction novel written in the early 1940s. The story revolves around Mason Standish, an Earth defense engineer who becomes the sole survivor of a prison ship wrecked in uncharted space. As Earth faces imminent conquest by Sirian invaders, Standish must navigate the challenges of being marooned on an alien planet while devising strategies to thwart the extraterrestrial threat against humanity. The narrative follows Standish as he awakens in the wreckage of the Sirian prison ship, discovers the destruction of his fellow prisoners, and ultimately finds himself stranded on a jungle-covered alien world. He encounters a fellow survivor, Ga-Marr, from the planet Lyra, and learns about their shared enemy—the Sirian leader, Drum Faggard. Together, they work to construct a new spacecraft to liberate both their worlds. As they forge a daring alliance, Standish's journey evolves from survival toward a full-scale rebellion against the oppressive Sirians, culminating in high-stakes confrontations that determine the fate of Earth and Lyra. The novel explores themes of resilience, cooperation, and the fight against tyranny in a rich, imaginative cosmic setting. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
