520 _a"Bunzo Farewell" by Charles V. De Vet is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story follows Sammy Tang, a manhunter who has pursued his target, the cunning criminal Bill Lutscher, across the galaxy, leading him to a mysterious alien planet. The narrative touches on themes of identity, companionship, and the cost of ambition as Tang navigates through an environment populated by bizarre creatures, attempting to comprehend the dynamics of life on this uncharted world. In the novel, Tang finally tracks Lutscher to a planet inhabited by peculiar life forms, including armored insect-like beings called mahutes and clobers, which are small, doughy creatures that the mahutes maintain as companions. The plot thickens as Tang discovers the interaction between these species and the dark secret behind Lutscher's tranquil lifestyle among them. The tension escalates as Lutscher becomes a victim of a gruesome fate, revealing the gruesome cycle of life on the planet where the clobers serve as mere hosts for the larval stages of the predatory ankites. Tang is left to grapple with the moral implications of his duty as he confronts the reality of Lutscher's demise, eventually uncovering a chilling truth about survival and transformation in this alien ecosystem. The story culminates in an intense exploration of vengeance as Tang returns to his ship, leaving the planet behind, and reflecting on the solitude that awaits him.
