"The Star of Satan" by Henry Hasse is a science fiction story from the 1940s that asks what people will do to survive. The story follows Hype Garth, a salvage station worker, who answers a distress call from a lifeboat that crashed on an asteroid. He finds J. P. Chiswell, a now-crazy president of a shipping line, who is the sole survivor of a space wreck, and Garth’s partner dies in a fight. Garth confronts a tough choice: leave the dangerous Chiswell behind. Or stay and give away his freedom for a chance to get rich? This story looks at how tough space is and how dark people can be when they are trying to live another day and struggling with things like betrayal and insanity.
