"Problem Planet" by Russ Winterbotham is a science fiction novella written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around two characters, a space pilot named Dave Camptain and a senator, Clive Littlebrook, who find themselves marooned on an uninhabited planet following a spacewreck. This unlikely duo must navigate their survival while grappling with political dynamics and the emergence of a mysterious woman named Rosemary, who adds complexity to their situation with her claim to the land and her unique perspective on governance. The narrative unfolds as Dave and Clive attempt to establish a functioning society on the planet, which they humorously name "Problem Planet," dominated by Clive's political maneuvering and Dave's practical survival instincts. Their plans are thrown into chaos upon encountering Rosemary, who has been living on the planet alone since childhood, forging her path of independence. As they navigate issues of power, survival, and the dynamics between genders, the characters confront their assumptions about civilization, relationships, and what it means to govern. Ultimately, the story culminates in a dilemma of choice and compromise, revealing deeper insights into human nature and social structures, while the characters come to terms with their individual desires and relationships.
