About this book
A Place in the Sun, by Stephen Marlowe, is labelled a "Johnny Mayhem" adventure and says that Mayhem, the man of many bodies, had been given some weird assignments but saving The Glory of the Galaxy was downright impossible. The text says the SOS was first picked up by a Fomalhautian freighter bound for Capella, since subspace distances do not coincide with normal space distances. The Captain is told that the ship which sent the SOS signal, the ship heading on collision course for Sol, is the Glory of the Galaxy.
The Glory of the Galaxy is making its maiden run from the assembly satellites of Earth, with the President of the Galactic Federation and his entire cabinet aboard. Ackerman Boone is described as a big man, a veteran spacer with a squat, very strong body, who under normal circumstances was a very fine spacer but bore an unreasonable grudge against the officer corps. A man pounds with his fists at air, hears nothing but a far off roaring in his ears, that told him he was losing consciousness, and does not know that Boone had collapsed until his feet trod on the man’s inert body.
