The Sentimentalists Produced from Galaxy Science Fiction April 1953 Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Sentimentalists" by Murray Leinster is a science fiction short story originally published in the early 1950s. The narrative explores the lives of two alien creatures, Rhadampsicus and Nodalictha, who are on their honeymoon, juxtaposed against the struggles of a human colonist named Lon Simpson on the planet Cetis Gamma Two. The tale captures themes of love, innovation, and societal challenges within the complex framework of space colonization. The story unfolds as Rhadampsicus and Nodalictha observe the effects of their sun's unusual flares, while simultaneously, Lon grapples with a corrupt trading company that monopolizes resources on his newly acquired farm. Faced with mechanical failures and financial struggles, Lon discovers a unique power-generating device and a method for transforming local vegetation into valuable crops. Inspired by his love for Cathy, he navigates through obstacles posed by the company and ultimately invents a way to save their community from impending disaster due to solar flares. As love and technology intertwine, both the aliens and humans experience growth and change, culminating in a refreshingly optimistic conclusion. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
