A clever and optimistic science fiction novelette of alien observation, human ingenuity, frontier survival, and romantic determination, The Sentimentalists shows Murray Leinster's gift for blending wonder with practical invention.
On the distant world of Cetis Gamma Two, human colonist Lon Simpson is trying to build a future against difficult odds. A powerful trading company controls the supplies he needs, his machinery is failing, and the planet itself presents hazards no farmer could have expected. But Lon is stubborn, resourceful, and determined to make a life with Cathy, the woman he loves.
Watching from afar are Rhadampsicus and Nodalictha, two alien honeymooners whose own view of love and civilization gives the story an unusual double perspective. First published in Galaxy Science Fiction in 1953, The Sentimentalists is a brisk, inventive tale of space colonization, technological problem-solving, and the surprising power of affection.
