Mercury is supposed to be lifeless rock and blistering heat, a place where men go only to carve uranium from a hostile crust and then hurry home. But when a miner returns from the molten surface carrying an impossible living specimen, curiosity turns to catastrophe and the ship’s crew begins to fall into a terrifying, motionless trance. In a matter of minutes, a hardened space crew becomes a gallery of frozen figures, their ship quietly hijacked by a being that does not see them as people at all.

Trapped aboard a drifting vessel under a merciless sun, one young officer discovers that the intruder can slip inside his thoughts, twist his words, and reshape reality itself. Survival will demand more than courage or brute force; it will require deception, restraint, and a desperate gamble against an entity that feeds on human energy and regards humanity as little more than a scientific curiosity. What follows is a high-stakes battle of wills where every thought is overheard and every hesitation could doom an entire crew to a fate worse than death.

Frank Belknap Long delivers an imaginative tale that blends hard-edged space survival with eerie cosmic speculation. Best known for his ventures into strange and unsettling fiction, Long brings a sense of wonder and dread to the inner Solar System, turning Mercury into a stage for first contact that is as dangerous as it is awe-inspiring. “The Mercurian” stands as a gripping example of early planetary science fiction, where exploration invites not just discovery, but judgment from minds utterly unlike our own.
