| Summary | "The Ethical Engineer" by Harry Harrison is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story follows Jason dinAlt, a human on the hostile planet Pyrrus, where he faces a complex mix of conflict and survival amidst its deadly and violent inhabitants. The plot explores themes of morality and personal agency in a world where ethics seem dictated by local customs and survival often relies on brutal choices. At the start of the novel, Jason observes the aftermath of a violent altercation between two Pyrran fighters, revealing the fierce and dangerous nature of the planet's inhabitants. Despite the tensions, he is drawn to Meta, a strong Pyrran girl, but their relationship is strained by cultural differences and misunderstandings. The arrival of a spaceship triggers a series of events leading to his encounter with a stranger who threatens his life, only for Jason to find himself kidnapped and drawn into a new conflict. The opening portion sets the stage for a tale that promises to navigate the intricate choices between survival, ethics, and the nature of good and evil amid a backdrop of interstellar intrigue.
