Summary "The Great Green Blight" by Robert Emmett McDowell is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The narrative unfolds in a futuristic Empire of Earth facing imminent collapse due to mysterious pirate attacks by phantom crews, and the story focuses on Norman Saint Clair, a nervous young lecturer traveling aboard the space liner "Jupiter". As he grapples with fears of the increasingly dangerous voyage, he becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue involving murder, hints of betrayal, and the potential threat posed by the enigmatic plant-like Dohlmites. At the start of the novel, the atmosphere is thick with tension as Norman Saint Clair prepares for his journey to Ganymede, a colony in the Empire. Alongside initial introductions with fellow passengers, including the captivating Jennifer Scott, ominous events unfurl, culminating in the shocking murder of a Terrestial Intelligence Service agent on board. This incident triggers a mix of panic and suspicion among passengers, and as Norman strives to understand the unfolding chaos, he forms a budding connection with Jennifer. They soon find themselves questioning the safety of their journey and seeking a way to uncover the truth behind the terror that looms over the Empire. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
