| Summary | "Centauri Vengeance" by Darius John Granger is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The book explores themes of power, guilt, and the psychological consequences of ruthless ambition, centering on the character George Haven, a powerful man in the galaxy who returns to Centauri VII, where his dark past intertwines with his present. The narrative delves into Haven’s struggles with his past and the tensions that arise during his reunion with people from that time. The story follows George Haven as he returns to Centauri VII with his young wife, Louise, only to confront the ghosts of his past centered around the murder of his former partner, Drexell Tolliver. While trying to maintain his powerful persona, Haven is haunted by the thought of Tolliver’s preserved body still visible deep within a glacier, a secret that could ruin him. As tensions rise during a reunion dinner with former associates who are aware of his crime, Louise unexpectedly reveals herself to be Tolliver’s daughter, leading to a suspenseful confrontation. The story escalates as Haven's past actions threaten to unravel, culminating in a frantic attempt to escape the consequences of his ruthlessness. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
