Summary: "Return of a Legend" by Raymond Z. Gallun is a science fiction novella that presents a compelling narrative set against the harsh backdrop of Mars, likely written in the early 1950s. The story explores themes of survival, adaptation, and the human spirit in a place steeped in alien history and mystery. The main focus is on the character of Dave Kort, a wilderness tramp who showcases the resilience and ingenuity required to thrive in the red planet's unforgiving environment. The novella follows Joe Dayton and his wife Doran as they search for their missing nephew, Will Terry, who has become accustomed to living in the wilds of Mars following the tragic disappearance of his father, Frank Terry. As the search progresses, Dayton and Doran navigate the treacherous Martian terrain and confront the realities of survival in an alien world. This journey leads them to encounter remnants of the Martian civilization while grappling with the changes in their own humanity. Throughout their adventure, elements of Martian mythology and the allure of the planet profoundly influence the characters, ultimately culminating in a realization that they must embrace their new lives on Mars, blending human experience with Martian legacy.
