| Summary |
"Calling World-4 of Kithgol" by H. B. Fyfe is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story revolves around the character Yorgh, a hunter from a primitive society, who discovers a mysterious metal cylinder in a desert that holds the key to communication with an advanced civilization. This novel explores themes of adventure, survival, and the clash between primitive and advanced cultures. The narrative follows Yorgh as he navigates both the harsh desert of his home world and the complexities of inter-tribal relationships after his discovery. Following a sandstorm, Yorgh finds a skeleton and the mysterious cylinder that emits a blue-green light when activated. As he attempts to return home, he inadvertently becomes entangled in events that put him at odds with both his tribe and the more advanced Raydowers. The plot thickens as Yorgh and another character, Vaneen, face the consequences of their actions, leading to a thrilling conclusion that ties their fate to the arrival of the Old Ones from the stars. The story blends elements of myth, discovery, and camaraderie, ultimately portraying the potential for unity amidst diversity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
