| Summary | "Against Tetrarch" by A. A. O. Gilmour is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century, likely during the post-war period. Set on the hostile planet Tetrarch IV, the story revolves around the plight of human slaves who now serve their alien conquerors, the tetrarchs. The narrative grapples with themes of resistance, sacrifice, and betrayal as the characters try to navigate their harsh new reality under alien rule. The plot centers on Rod Harrow, a captive from Earth, who finds himself in the gryxon mines where humans, now shortened to a life expectancy of just twenty-five, toil and suffer under brutal conditions. Among the new slaves is Mona Darlanan, a figure from Rod's past, who seems to have defected to the enemy in hopes of saving her brother. As the story unfolds, Rod discovers that Mona is, in fact, part of a resistance movement aiming to liberate themselves from the tetrarchs' grip. He learns of the tetrarchs' true nature as energy beings and their experiments on human life, which culminates in a desperate battle for survival that seeks to reclaim freedom and dignity for the oppressed slaves. The climax reveals elements of betrayal and the resilience of the human spirit, as Rod and his fellow Survivors fight against overwhelming odds in a quest for liberation.
