Summary "Two Way Destiny" by Frank Belknap Long is a science fiction novelette written in the early 1950s. The story explores themes of tribal dynamics, the nature of civilization, and the contrasts between different cultures as the protagonist finds himself navigating life on a beautiful but hostile alien planet called Dracona. The book delves into the psychological aspects of fear and superstition prevalent in primitive societies, as well as the potential for growth following the breaking of those taboos. In "Two Way Destiny," the main character, Taro Hargon, an Earth-born trader, encounters Kallatah, a woman from the technologically advanced planet of Tragor, while both are on the exotic planet of Dracona. As their relationship unfolds, they inadvertently provoke the wrath of the planet's tribal inhabitants due to a cultural misunderstanding surrounding a sacred, dangerous creature. The story escalates as Hargon uses mental manipulation and insights from his studies of primitive cultures to save both of them from a dire fate. Ultimately, they triumph over the tribal superstitions and the oppressive nature of the creatures that threaten the natives, suggesting a hopeful future for the inhabitants of Dracona, enhanced by the realization of their own power and wisdom.
