Wallace is a science fiction novel likely written in the early to mid-20th century. It revolves around the theme of human colonization of a new planet called Glade, where the inhabitants face unexpected challenges from the alien ecology, particularly with the evolution of various species that threaten their survival. The story follows Dano Marin, a biologist sent to help establish a human colony on Glade. Upon arrival, the colonists discover that the planet, thought to be devoid of pests, is home to a small, squirrel-like creature known as the omnivore, which quickly adapts to become a nuisance. As Marin investigates, he finds that the omnivore's rapid evolutionary responses create new challenges: it gives rise to larger pests, including mice and eventually rats, leading the colony to struggle with food supply and survival. The narrative builds tension as the colonists deal with not only the ecological surprises but also the possibility of these species evolving further as they adapt to human presence. As the plot unfolds, it raises questions about the nature of evolution and humanity's place in it, culminating in a chilling confrontation with creatures that bear an uncanny resemblance to human beings.
