Chicken Farm
Ross Rocklynne
Harvey is a blunt, methodical man who lives by calculation and certainty. When he meets Anna on Mars, he decides quickly that she will be his wife. He leaves just as abruptly, promising to return in ten months, already planning a future that extends far beyond ordinary expectations.
While Anna waits, Harvey pursues an extraordinary goal. He discovers and claims an overlooked planet, then begins reshaping it with precision, patience, and scientific insight. What he builds there is practical, profitable, and deeply unconventional.
Chicken Farm blends dry humor with big ideas about science, ownership, and unintended consequences. Ross Rocklynne turns simple decisions into sweeping outcomes, letting logic quietly carry the story forward.
Ross Rocklynne was known for thoughtful science fiction that balanced speculation with human behavior. His stories often explore how intelligence and planning can collide with emotional reality. Chicken Farm remains one of his most inventive and enduring works.
