Summary

"The Hell Ship" by Ray Palmer is a science fiction story full of suspense, set on a space liner hiding terrible secrets. A journalist named Gene O'Neil finds himself trapped on this ship where the crew has become monsters because of atomic radiation. Along with Ann O'Donnell, he uncovers the truth about the dark cargo and the crew's destiny. Gene faces the danger of turning into a monster himself but decides to lead a revolt against those holding them captive. Their goal is to reveal the horrible truth of their enslavement and stop a looming atomic disaster. In this futuristic setting, the book looks at themes of lies, changes people go through, and the fight for independence against powerful control, culminating in sacrifices as they fight to expose the dangers of technology without limits.
