N2  - "Exile From Venus" by E. Hoffmann Price is a science fiction novel likely written in the early to mid-20th century. The story follows Craig Verrill, a Venusian who reluctantly returns to the perilous and radioactive Earth, motivated by an impulsive promise and a quest for the legendary ruby known as the Fire of Skanderbek. The book explores themes of civilization versus savagery as it juxtaposes the orderly life under the domes of Venus with the chaotic existence of primitive Terrestrians.  The narrative centers on Verrill's journey as he attempts to assert himself among the savage tribes of Earth after a quarrel over a ruby, leading to heroic adventures and unexpected bonds. After facing danger and navigating the treacherous relationships with the Terrestrians, Verrill saves the life of a child, impressing the local chief, Ardelan, and earning their respect. His growing connection to a Terrestrian woman named Falana complicates his original mission to steal the coveted ruby, ultimately leading to a climactic confrontation with an old rival, Gil Dawson. The book culminates as Verrill embraces his new life and fate among the Terrestrians, revealing profound transformations in character and values. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
