Summary "Mutiny in the Void" by Charles R. Tanner is a science fiction novella written in the early 1940s. Set aboard the rocket ship "Berenice", the story revolves around the theme of mutiny and survival in the vast emptiness of space. The narrative showcases the tension between crew members and the dire choices they must face when loyalty and self-preservation are put to the test. The plot follows Manool Sarouk, the ship's meticulous oxygen farmer, who finds himself caught between mutiny and his moral obligations. After overhearing a conspiratorial plot led by the mutinous mate Gilligan, Manool is faced with a decision that could determine the fate of himself and the crew. As the ship descends into chaos, with voices of rebellion echoing and violence breaking out, Manool becomes a reluctant participant in the conflict. Ultimately, he realizes he holds the power over the crew's survival through the ship’s oxygen supply. In a moment of courage, he devises a clever plan involving tooth powder to manipulate the oxygen levels, exacerbating the tension and ensuring that only he and two others can survive, leaving the mutineers to suffocate in their own hubris. The story combines suspense, moral dilemmas, and the interplay of power dynamics in the face of overwhelming odds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
