| Summary | "Pioneers" by Basil Wells is a science fiction novel written in the early to mid-20th century. The story revolves around themes of exploration, survival, and the struggle against the unfamiliar as a group of colonists journeys to the habitable but untamed planet Sulle II. The narrative focuses on characters who flee the constraints of their mechanized lives on Earth in search of a new beginning. The plot follows Dorav Brink, who, along with fellow colonists, awakens from a hibernation-like state on Sulle II, eager for adventure and the challenges of life outside the controlled environments of Earth’s domes. Assigned to work in Middle Park with his partner Tzal Evans, Brink grapples with the harsh realities of survival, including hunting for game and building rudimentary shelters. Tensions arise when Rea Smyt, the attractive partner of another worker, yearns to return to Earth, leading to a series of conflicts that culminate in tragedy as they encounter hostile native inhabitants. As Brink navigates love, loss, and the primal challenges of an alien world, he ultimately embraces the pioneering spirit, seeking to lay down roots for future generations amidst the struggle for a new life.
