The Terrible Answer
The Terrible Answer is a science fiction novella by Arthur G. Hill, written in the early 1950s. Set on Mars, it follows a group of Earth men who arrive with ambitions of empire-building, only to confront the native Martians. The story critiques imperialism as the men, led by Larkin, resort to violence and manipulation, ultimately facing betrayal from those they sought to dominate. This narrative explores themes of arrogance and the unexpected resilience of the oppressed.
