| 520 | _a"West o' Mars" by Charles L. Fontenay is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. Set in a future where interplanetary travel is commonplace, the book explores themes of ambition, love, and the complex dynamics between men and women through the experiences of its protagonist, Samlaan Britt. The story takes place primarily on Mars and delves into the impacts of psychological abilities on human relationships. The narrative follows Samlaan Britt, a wealthy and successful man who achieved his fortune through dubious means, aided by the psychokinetic abilities of his wife, Dori. Initially, he utilizes Dori’s powers to manipulate outcomes in gambling games, which leads to immense wealth and the construction of a lavish home, West o' Mars. However, their marriage is fraught with emotional disconnect, stemming from Britt's cold-heartedness and his treatment of Dori as a mere tool for his success. A turning point arises during a risky gambling session where Britt wagers Dori against everything his opponent owns. Unexpectedly, Dori’s emotional turmoil surfaces during a critical roll of the dice, leading to surprising consequences. Ultimately, the story reveals the fallout of Britt’s manipulative actions, illustrating the unpredictability of love and the human heart amidst a backdrop of interplanetary adventure.
