The Graveyard of Space

"The Graveyard of Space" by Stephen Marlowe is a science fiction story set in a dangerous part of space called the Sargasso, which is like a graveyard for old spaceships. It tells the story of Ralph and Diane Meeker, who get stuck in this scary place on their spaceship, the Gormann '87. The story looks at how people survive, how they can go crazy in isolation, and how important relationships are when things get really tough. Ralph has to find a working radar to help them escape, while also dealing with the fact that some people in the Sargasso have become cannibals because they're so desperate. As they face these challenges, Ralph and Diane learn to appreciate their lives and fix their relationship, deciding to focus on moving forward together after escaping the Sargasso.
