"Narakan Rifles, About Face!" by Jan Smith is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century. Set on the harsh, swampy planet of Naraka, the story revolves around the struggles of both Terran and indigenous Narakan forces in the face of an aggressive enemy known as the Rumi. The book likely explores themes of duty, cultural misunderstandings in military contexts, and the dynamic between the colonizers and the natives. The narrative centers on Lieutenant Terrence O'Mara, who has been tasked with training the Narakan Rifles, an army composed of the native amphibian-like Narakans. O'Mara faces immense challenges as he encounters the inadequacies of his troops, formed under the weight of historical oppression from the Rumi. As tensions escalate and the Rumi launch an assault on their territory, O'Mara and his men must come together, pushing against their own limitations, to defend both their home and the lives of several civilian orphans left behind. The story blends intense combat with personal growth, humor, and the forging of unlikely bonds, leading O'Mara to discover his deeper motivations and capacity for leadership amidst chaos and adversity.
