| Summary |
"Captain Chaos" by D. Allen Morrissey is a science fiction novel likely written in the early 1950s. The story follows David Corbin, who awakens in a spacecraft with no memory of himself or his mission, thrust into a future where he must navigate the uncertainties of space, reviving his fellow crew members while grappling with his amnesia. The central theme revolves around the exploration of alien worlds and the human experience of facing the unknown. In the narrative, David Corbin finds himself in a mysterious spaceship, where he discovers he has awoken from a state of suspension alongside a diverse crew, each of whom also struggles with memory loss after waking up. As they begin to restore the ship's operations and realize they are on a mission to locate a habitable planet, tensions arise from the different characters' personalities and hidden pasts. The novel examines their interactions as they work together to survive and complete their mission, leading to discoveries about the alien landscape on their newfound planet and the personal revelations that influence their fates. Ultimately, the story is a blend of science fiction adventure and introspective character study, addressing themes of memory, identity, and the human drive for exploration.
