Summary "A Madman on Board" by Robert Silverberg is a science fiction novel written in the late 1950s. The book explores themes of desperation, redemption, and the consequences of choices made in moments of weakness, set against a backdrop of a space station orbiting Earth. The story follows the protagonist, Dave Conroy, who finds himself imprisoned in a hazardous environment as a consequence of his past actions. The narrative unfolds as Dave Conroy, a former scientist turned alcoholic, escapes from a grim fate within the radiation chamber of Earth's Wheel, a space station where inmates are sent to work as a form of punishment. After fleeing from his fellow convicts, he discovers his ex-fiancée, Janet Merrill, is on board while her father, Commissioner Merrill, plots to use a powerful bomb against Earth. Conroy must confront both the threats of the saboteur and his own demons as he navigates a series of desperate scenarios that ultimately lead to a confrontation with Commissioner Merrill, uncovering a more dangerous plot than he initially realized. Through these harrowing events, Conroy seeks not only to save the lives at stake but also to reclaim his own lost future. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
