| Summary | "Derelicts of Uranus" by J. Harvey Haggard is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds on the tumultuous and muddy planet Uranus, where the protagonist, Lonny Higgens, navigates his existence as a mud-fisher amidst perilous conditions and quirky alien life forms. This adventurous tale explores themes of survival, competition, and the effects of a strange environment on human behavior. The narrative follows Lonny as he grapples with his feelings of boredom and lethargy in the harsh, muddy landscape of Uranus. Tension arises when he hears cries for help from Lana Hilton, a newcomer whose mud-submarine has failed, prompting a complicated dynamic with another mud-fisher, Link Raeburn. Throughout the story, Lonny navigates conflicts involving Raeburn, the comical yet mischievous insect-like creature Baron Munchy, and his growing attraction to Lana. As they deal with threats from their environment, including deadly whirl-rays and the oppressive atmosphere of the planet, Lonny's character evolves from indifferent to one of determination as he confronts both external dangers and his interpersonal relationships, ultimately striving for a way to escape their extraordinary predicament.
