"Fog of the Forgotten" by Basil Wells is a science fiction novel likely written in the mid-20th century. This narrative explores themes of ancient civilizations, the fall of technological advancement, and the struggle between savagery and enlightenment. The story is set in a world shrouded in fog, both literally in its environment and metaphorically in the minds of its inhabitants who have turned against science and progress. The plot centers around Ho
Dyak, an ivory-skinned man from a civilization that has regressed after a catastrophic downfall. Determined to recover the knowledge of their ancestors, he ascends from the fog-laden lowlands to the highlands where remnants of advanced technology linger. After discovering a crashed spaceship, Ho Dyak encounters new allies, including earthlings who possess knowledge of their ancient's technological prowess. Amidst lurking dangers from the priestly rulers of his people, Ho Dyak’s quest becomes a journey not only to reclaim lost knowledge but also to unite his people and rekindle their forgotten greatness, ultimately leading him to love and a revitalizing purpose for his race.
