| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "The Flying Tuskers of K'niik-K'naak" by Jack Sharkey is a science fiction comedy novella originally published in the early 1960s. The story follows the adventures of a confident and somewhat comically arrogant protagonist as he embarks on a hunting expedition on the alien planet of Polaris III, where he seeks to hunt the legendary flying tuskers—massive creatures renowned for their pearl tusks. In this humorous narrative, the protagonist, accompanied by his subservient Andromedan guide Mimp, navigates the challenges of the harsh desert landscape while showcasing his self-importance and disdain for the local superstitions. As they search for the elusive herd, a series of comical misadventures occurs, including the protagonist's frustration with Mimp, who ultimately betrays him. After a disastrous mishap involving the destruction of their shelter, it becomes clear that the tuskers are dead, with Mimp having poisoned their waterhole and made off with their valuable tusks. The story reflects themes of pride, betrayal, and the absurdity of the protagonist's situation, ultimately leading him to a bittersweet realization of his own shortcomings.
