| 520 | _a"Upstarts" by L. J. Stecher, Jr. is a science fiction novella written in the early 1960s. The book revolves around themes of interstellar politics, unexpected alliances, and the existential implications of rapid technological advancement. It explores the relationship between humanity and other races in a galaxy where power dynamics play a crucial role in survival. The story follows John Crownwall, an Earthman who finds himself on Vega III, confronting the ruling Viceroy of the Universal Holy Empire of Sunda. As Crownwall navigates the tensions and threats posed by the alien populace, he swiftly realizes that Earth's unexpected technological progress has caught the attention of powerful beings who see potential in collaborating with humans to upend the existing order ruled by the Sunda. The narrative delves into Crownwall's negotiations, revealing the complex interplay between ambition and survival, as both Earthlings and Vegans seek to dominate the galaxy. Ultimately, the story culminates in a poignant exploration of isolation when it becomes apparent that human advancement comes at a significant cost, leaving Crownwall and humanity to ponder their existence and place in a vast and empty universe.
