"Fee of the Frontier" by H. B. Fyfe is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. Set in the Martian colonies, the story explores themes of exploration and human ambition in the face of harsh extraterrestrial conditions. The narrative captures the lives of spacefarers who are navigating both physical dangers and personal challenges while striving to expand human presence beyond Earth. The protagonist, Tony Lewis, reminisces about the Martian landscape and his past experiences as a spacer. He becomes intertwined in the adventure of a crew preparing for a pivotal space mission, dealing with the complexities of relationships amid the backdrop of the Martian frontier. As Tony assists the crew, particularly young pilot Hugh Konnel, tensions arise over love, ambition, and the price of progress. The story unfolds within the confines of a Martian dome, featuring colorful characters like the steward Ron Meadows and entertainer Lilac Malone. With themes of sacrifice and the unending quest for exploration, the narrative reflects on the inherent risks that accompany pioneering efforts in space, suggesting that progress often comes at a significant cost.
