Summary

"One Purple Hope!" by Henry Hasse is a science fiction story that plunges into the dark existence of Joel Latham, an Earthman hooked on tsith in the grim Venusport slums. After hitting rock bottom in a swamp, Joel, haunted by memories and the sting of betrayal, discovers he has lost a valuable purple gem that embodied his last chance for salvation. Fueled by desperation, Latham chases after his betrayers to take back what was stolen, braving dangerous jungles and his own crippling need for the drug. His reckless journey thrusts him into a confrontation with the cruel figure who controls the flow of tsith, forcing a devastating reckoning with the price of his addiction and solidifying his tragic destiny.
