| Summary | "Success Story" by Earl Goodale is a science fiction narrative published in the early 1960s. The story is set in a futuristic universe where the protagonist, Ameet Ruxt, navigates his existence within the militaristic Haldorian Empire, which is characterized by its culture of invasion and conquest. The book likely explores themes of identity, personal ambition, and the struggle for self-determination within the constraints of a rigidly hierarchical society. The plot follows Ameet Ruxt, originally a low-ranking statistician within the Haldorian Empire, as he is conscripted into the military and faces the brutal realities of combat training and invasion campaigns. Despite his initial desires for a peaceful life filled with art and companionship, he is thrust into the violent world of Haldorian warfare. As he adapts to his new role, Ruxt struggles with his identity and moral choices, eventually using his skills in statistics and manipulation to change his fate. His journey culminates in a decision to sell out his own people while retaining a façade of loyalty to the Haldorian cause, showcasing the complex interplay between personal survival and ethical considerations in a world driven by power and aggression.
