The Great Dome on Mercury

On the molten surface of Mercury, where the sun never sets and temperatures dwarf Earth's deadliest furnaces, a fragile glass dome shelters Earth's outermost outpost. When a catastrophic leak punches through the colony's only defense, Captain Darl Thomas must race against death itself to patch the breach while hostile native Mercurians close in and a Martian operative tightens the noose. With military secrets at stake and interstellar war looming, Darl faces an impossible choice: surrender information to save his crew, or hold the line and trust his men to fight their way to salvation. His companions battle desperately against overwhelming odds, signaling into a void where help may never arrive. This is 1934 pulp science fiction at its relentless core: a survival thriller where the enemy is everything beyond the dome's failing walls.
