Colossus and the Crab is a science fiction novel written in 1977 by the British author Dennis Feltham Jones.

It is the third and final volume in "The Colossus Trilogy" and a sequel to Jones's 1974 novel "The Fall of Colossus".

The novel begins where its predecessor, "The Fall of Colossus" leaves off, with the supercomputer immobilized and the Martians arriving on Earth.

After immobilizing Blake, they explain to Forbin their purpose in immobilizing Colossus — their desire to take half of the Earth's oxygen, a process that will kill nearly a quarter of the human population.

In order to proceed with construction of the "Collector" designed to harvest the oxygen, the Martians reactivate the parts of Colossus necessary to manage human society.

As construction of the Collector proceeds, a humbled Blake proposes to Forbin that the old Colossus — the "parent" of the crippled system, be reactivated.

Construction equipment controlled by Colossus soon completes work on the Collector.

Racing against time, Blake and a small team of workers succeeds in penetrating the mountain where the old Colossus is located and re-activating the computer, only to discover that, once imputed with the facts of the situation, Colossus argues that the collection program is in the best interests of humans' long-term future and should move forward. Informed of the failure of their plan, Forbin watches the second test proceed.

Yet doing so puts him out of contact with Blake and the old Colossus, who informs Blake that a solution might exist that is acceptable to both the Martians and humanity.

Regaining control of the nuclear arsenal, Colossus contacts the Martians, who inform it of Forbin's attempt to use the battleships to destroy the Collector.

He is buried by the reactivated Colossus, who reaches an agreement with the Martians.

A smaller version of the Collector will extract the oxygen more gradually and sustainably; in return, humanity, with the guidance of Colossus, will retreat to Mars once the Sun has become a red giant and destroys the Earth.
