Summary: "Planet of Dread" by Dwight V. Swain is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The book centers around the characters Craig Nesom, an envoy of the Federation, and the enigmatic Narla, the daughter of Lord Zenaor. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a brutal society, where cruel games are played for entertainment, and oppression reigns over the Baemae people, setting the stage for an impending rebellion and the clash of powerful forces. The opening of the novel presents a dark and oppressive atmosphere on the planet Lysor, where the ruthless Kukzubas barons, led by Lord Zenaor and his sinister companion Vydys, dominate life. As Craig Nesom arrives, aiming to investigate reports of Zenaor's aggressive plans against the Federation, he witnesses a horrifying spectacle centered around a helpless Baemae girl and a deadly creature known as the roller. This chilling introduction not only highlights the cruelty of the Kukzubas but also establishes Craig's sense of duty and moral compass amidst the savagery. Complicating matters is the emergence of Narla, Zenaor's daughter, who, caught between her family's ruthless legacy and her attraction to Craig, adds layers of personal conflict and potential alliance to the unfolding drama.
