Cole and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Frightened Planet" by Sidney Austen is a science fiction novel published in the mid-20th century. Set against an imaginative backdrop, it explores themes of survival, strength, and the clash between primitive and advanced societies. The story likely centers around the protagonist, Karn, a Cro-Magnon man whose journey leads him to encounter a technologically advanced yet culturally weak alien society. The narrative follows Karn as he navigates the challenges of being an outcast from his own tribe and finds himself among the inhabitants of Mahlo, a planet facing the threat of invasion by the Green Ones—hostile reptilian creatures. Karn's superior physicality and warrior instincts stand in stark contrast to the Mahloans' pacifistic lifestyle, which has left them ill-prepared for conflict. As he strives to protect his newfound companions, especially the strong-willed Andra, he inspires the Mahloans to rise up and reclaim their strength, ultimately leading them in a fight against their oppressors. The story culminates in a transformative journey for both Karn and the Mahloans, challenging traditional gender roles and societal norms in a fight for their survival.
