Incident

This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design. A dying starship drifts through the blackness of deep space, its crew wiped out one by one by a mysterious plague. Alone and fevered, the last survivor faces an impossible choice: abandon the mission, or risk bringing death to an unsuspecting new world. Thomas J. O'Hara's Incident is a tense, atmospheric science fiction tale of isolation, sacrifice, and the terrible cost of discovery. As the ship hurtles toward an alien planet rich with promise, the story builds toward a haunting moral dilemma that pits one man's desperate survival against the fate of an entire civilization. Compact, vivid, and emotionally charged, this classic space-age story captures the wonder and danger of humanity's first steps into the cosmos. It is a gripping reminder that in the vastness of space, the greatest threat may not be the unknown beyond the stars, but the choices made in the face of it.
