"Valkyrie from the Void" by Basil Wells is a science fiction novel written in the late 1940s. The story unfolds in a vividly imagined alien world, focusing on themes of adventure, rebellion, and survival. The protagonist, Hardan Synn, is a frontier guide navigating the treacherous political and physical landscape populated by various humanoid species and mythical creatures. The plot centers around Hardan Synn, who, while managing a wagon train composed mostly of oppressed Wetlanders, encounters a violent uprising led by the antagonistic sarif, Nitka Porn. In a struggle for power and control, Hardan fights to maintain order as the group attempts to traverse the harsh Drylands to reach Lake Gron. Complicating matters is the presence of Ylda, a headstrong priestess who seeks to escape her fate, and the looming threat of Drylanders, formidable creatures of the land. As Hardan grapples with personal conflict and external threats, he ultimately embarks on a quest towards the Bitter Sea, where he hopes to find a new life and foster relationships between the Wetlanders and Aarthmen, a race with mental powers. The tale is marked by hard-fought battles, unexpected alliances, and an exploration of love and duty amidst chaos. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
