| Summary | "Buccaneer of the Star Seas" by Ed Earl Repp is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of immortality, love, and the burdens that come with eternal life, following the journey of its protagonist as he navigates the uncharted realms of space. The story revolves around Thaddeus Carlyle, a young nobleman who seeks the secret to immortality from the imprisoned philosopher Roger Bacon. Carlyle learns that to gain additional years of life, he must sacrifice the life spirit of a woman who loves him. After initially preying upon the young daughter of a lord, Carlyle becomes increasingly burdened by the consequences of his choices as he experiences centuries of life, witnessing the rise and fall of empires, yet unable to escape his fate. As he enters space travel, which symbolizes new frontiers and adventures, he faces moral dilemmas and the reality of his immortality when he becomes attracted to a new secretary, Ann Holland. The tension rises between his desires and the price of his eternal life, leading to a dramatic climax involving conflict with a rival salvager and ultimately revealing the tragic costs of his quest for endless life.
