Summary "Slaughter on Dornell IV" by Randall Garrett and Robert Silverberg is a science fiction short story written during the mid-20th century. The narrative follows Larry Filmore, a human fighter who grapples with his imminent battle against a formidable alien champion on the planet Dornell IV. The story delves into themes of racial prejudice, survival, and the brutal world of interstellar combat. In this gripping tale, Larry Filmore finds himself in a bar on Dornell IV, contemplating a dangerous fight against Fornax Kedrin, the Dornellian champion. Overwhelmed with anxiety about his impending bout and the treachery of his manager, Blackmer, Larry engages in a barroom brawl with a Dornellian, which unexpectedly boosts his confidence. After managing to defeat the alien in the scuffle, Larry learns that his fight against Fornax Kedrin has been canceled due to the champion's injury from the very altercation he had in the bar. The story concludes with Larry's newfound relief, suggesting that sometimes luck can alter the course of fate in a perilous world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
