Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Princess of Chaos" by Bryce Walton is a science fiction novel likely written in the mid-20th century, specifically around the 1940s. The story unfolds in a fantastical setting on Venus and revolves around the themes of survival, revenge, and the complexities of identity, particularly through the character of Moljar, a half-breed warrior. The narrative captures the bloody spectacle of gladiatorial games overseen by the cold, powerful Princess Alhone, showcasing the harsh realities of a struggle for dominance and the search for freedom. The plot follows Moljar as he battles against monstrous creatures in the brutal Red Moon Games, drawing the ire of a bloodlusting audience while he grapples with his desire for revenge against Princess Alhone, who has ruthlessly sanctioned the annihilation of his people. After enduring a series of harrowing challenges, including an attack on the city by the enigmatic Mistmen, Moljar allies himself with Mahra, a Terran mutant. Together, they embark on a perilous journey across the deadly Sea of Mort to reach Alhone’s stronghold, Anghore, where the half-breed seeks to fulfill his pledge of vengeance. As he faces shocking revelations about the nature of power, identity, and the moral ambiguities of ruling, Moljar confronts his ultimate struggle—denouncing Alhone while forging an unexpected bond with Mahra in a final bid for freedom. The story weaves action with themes of belonging and defiance against a backdrop of dystopian chaos, creating a gripping tale of conflict between brute force and the quest for justice.
