Summary "The Mightiest Man" by Patrick Fahy is a science fiction novella written in the early 1960s. The book explores themes of betrayal, power, and the resilience of humanity when faced with extraterrestrial threats. It delves into the psychological and moral ramifications of an individual who has sold out his race to alien forces, ultimately leading to an exploration of what it means to wield immense power over others. The story follows a man who has betrayed humanity to an alien race in exchange for personal power. After he provides the aliens with insights about human behavior, they unleash chaos upon the Earth. As the protagonist revels in his newfound abilities, he faces the consequences of his treachery when the tides of public sentiment turn against him. Captured and put on trial, he displays his terrifying abilities, provoking fear and awe. Ultimately, a desperate lawyer devises a plan to neutralize him by attacking his physical body rather than his mind, leading to a chilling resolution that explores the balance between justice and survival in a world where one man holds the fate of all humanity in his hands.
