Summary "The Wedge" by H. B. Fyfe is a science fiction novella written in the mid-20th century. This engaging story revolves around an individual named Barnsley, who finds himself imprisoned on an alien planet after a series of unforeseen events during his exploration for the Terran Colonial Service. The narrative follows his cunning attempts to navigate the alien environment and outthink his captors as he devises a plan for eventual escape. The plot centers on Barnsley, an Earthling scout who is captured by a strange alien species with a curious physiology. Throughout the novella, he grapples with his situation, using wit and resourcefulness to understand his captivity while subtly taunting his observers. As he explores the maze-like structure holding him, we see his ingenuity in manipulating his environment and devising ways to gather information. Ultimately, he communicates with a Terran colleague, Sanchez, who reassures him about the imminent rescue, revealing the potential for a significant role in this new world as relations between Earth and the alien species develop. The story highlights themes of intelligence, survival, and the complexities of interstellar interactions, making it an intriguing read for fans of the genre.
