520 _a"Among the Scented Ones" by Basil Wells is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century, likely during the 1940s. The book explores themes of survival and the clash between different civilizations on a distant jungle planet called Saaar, inhabited by humanoid creatures known as the Garros, alongside Terrans, who are trying to escape oppression from their home world. It combines elements of adventure and speculative fiction, highlighting the coexistence of species with distinct biological traits, especially around the concept of scent. The story follows Besan Wur, a Terran who, along with his companions—Nard Rost and Relsa Dav—barely escapes a violent stampede of gigantic saurians called denars. They find refuge in the jungle but soon face numerous challenges, including being captured by savage humanoids while trying to survive in this hostile environment. As they navigate treacherous landscapes and confront the brutal realities of primitive life, Besan grapples with his identity as a Terran among the scent-sensitive Garros. The plot thickens when conflicting desires and survival instincts come into play, challenging Besan’s notions of love, loyalty, and what it truly means to be free. Ultimately, the characters must unite to escape their captors and return to the relative safety of Garro civilization. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
