Product Description
by Alan E. Nourse (Author)
Four men attempt the impossible: to cross the sun-blasted bright side of Mercury at the point of its greatest fury. James Baron is determined to prove that the legendary Brightside Crossing can be done, but Peter Claney-the only survivor of an earlier attempt-knows what waits out there: heat, glare, exhaustion, bad judgment, and the kind of ambition that can turn courage into suicide.
Alan E. Nourse's Brightside Crossing is classic mid-century science fiction built around danger, endurance, pride, and the unforgiving physics of another world. First published in HereYes
Compact, hard-edged, and memorable, Brightside Crossing is a strong fit for readers of golden age science fiction, planetary adventure, survival stories, space exploration fiction, and classic magazine SF. Nourse brings a physician's eye for human limits and a storyteller's sense of mounting pressure to a tale where the landscape itself becomes the enemy.
