About this book

"Priestess of the Flame" by Sewell Peaslee Wright is a science fiction novel first published in the early 20th century, specifically in the early 1930s. The book tells the story of Liane, a captivating and powerful female character who is the Chief Priestess of the Flame. The narrative is set against the backdrop of space exploration and the challenges faced by a crew assigned to manage a critical resource on the planet Lakos. The plot revolves around Commander John Hanson and his crew aboard the spaceship "Ertak", who are on a mission to investigate unrest caused by Liane and her cult, the Worshipers of the Flame. Liane seizes the opportunity to stow away on the ship, which complicates Hanson's mission as she is both beautiful and manipulative. Throughout the story, tensions rise as Liane struggles for power, leading to her eventual confrontation with her own people. Ultimately, the narrative culminates in a dramatic finale that explores themes of power, loyalty, and the perilous influence of a charismatic leader. The story captures the essence of space adventure while addressing deeper issues of authority and the complexity of human emotions.
