Badge of Infamy

Description

When Daniel Feldman breaks the rules of the Medical Lobby on Earth to save a friend’s life, he has no idea of the complicated and adventure-filled journey he is embarking upon. Traveling to Mars on a stolen Spacer ID, he soon finds that people at the Marian colony are much more welcoming, even with the authorities hot on his heels. Can Feldman discover a cure for the strange Martian plague that threatens to kill off all life on both planets?

The storyline in Badge of Infamy is essentially a medical sci-fi drama that still remains quite enjoyable and entertaining even half a century after it was written. Penned at a time when Mars was assumed to be a hospitable planet that could eventually be colonized, the book depicts a future world in which Earth has evolved into a strange, and in many ways cold, society, and the Martian colony has already flowered.

The story of a doctor saving all life on two planets isn’t exactly new, however, the story has plenty of elements that are still considered just as original today, as they were when it was first published. Written by Lester Del Ray, a true master of science fiction and fantasy, who was also known for his remarkable contributions through the juvenile Winston Science Fiction series.

Del Ray’s style and skills are well-known among the fans of classical sci-fi, and this book is definitely not an exception. With an engaging, well-thought out plot, a relatable main character who alludes to the quintessential science fiction hero, and plenty of surprising plot developments to enjoy, you’ll find Badge of Infamy to be as exciting as it is thought-provoking.

Anyone looking forward to an engaging tale that sheds light on humanity’s potential future approach when it comes to colonizing other planets will love Badge of Infamy – a quite impressive medical science fiction story that promises an outstanding reading experience.
