The Forgotten Planet by Murray Leinster Pdf

A planet had been seeded for life by humans, first with microbes and later with plants and insects. A third expedition, intended to complete the seeding with animals, never occurred. Over the millennia the insects and plants grew to gigantic sizes. The action of the novel describes the fight for survival by descendants of a crashed spaceship as they battle wolf-sized ants, flies the size of chickens, and gigantic flying wasps. Interestingly, this novel is a combination of three different science-fiction tales "The Mad Planet", "The Red Dust" and "Nightmare Planet" which were heavily revised by Murray Leinster to form a coherent story. This edition thus brings to you both the versions of this famous sci-fi story in one convenient edition for your ultimate pleasure!

The Forgotten Planet [Didactic Press Paperbacks] by Murray Leinster Pdf

Beneath dense gray clouds through which no sun shone lay a forgotten planet. It was a nightmare world of grotesque and terrifying animal-plant life. Gigantic beetles, spiders, bugs and ants filled the putrid, musty earth-ready to kill and devour anything in sight.There were men amidst this horror-men who cringed and ran from the ravening monsters and huddled in the mushroom forests at night.Burl was one of these creatures. But one day inspiration hit Burl. He would find a weapon-he would fight back.And with this idea the first step was taken in man's most desperate flight for freedom in this most horrible of all worlds. But it was only a first step.

The Forgotten Planet by Sewell Peaslee Wright Pdf

I have been asked to record, plainly and without prejudice, a brief history of the Forgotten Planet.That this record, when completed, will be sealed in the archives of the Interplanetary Alliance and remain there, a secret and rather dreadful bit of history, is no concern of mine. I am an old man, well past the century mark, and what disposal is made of my work is of little importance to me. I grow weary of life and living, which is good. The fear of death was lost when our scientists showed us how to live until we grew weary of life. But I am digressing-an old man's failing.The Forgotten Planet was not always so named. The name that it once bore had been, as every child knows, stricken from the records, actual and mental, of the Universe. It is well that evil should not be remembered. But in order that this history may be clear in the centuries to come, my record should go back to beginnings.So far as the Universe is concerned, the history of the Forgotten Planet begins with the visit of the first craft ever to span the space between the worlds: the crude, adventuresome Edorn, whose name, as well as the names of the nine Zenians who manned her, occupy the highest places in the roll of honor of the Universe.

The Forgotten Planet by Murray Leinster Pdf

This is something of an oddity among fiction stories, because some of its characters may be met in person if you wish. Down at the nearest weed-patch or thicket you are quite likely to see a large and unusually perfect spider-web with a zig-zag silk ribbon woven into its center. Its engineer is the yellow-banded garden spider (Epeira Fasciata) whose abdomen may be as big as your thumb. I do not name it to impress you, but to suggest a sort of science-fiction experience. Take a bit of straw and disturb the web. Don't break the cables. Simply tap them a bit. The spider will know by the feel of things that you aren't prey and that it can't eat you. So it will set out frightening you away. It will run nimbly to the center of the web and shake itself violently. The whole web will vibrate, so that presently the spider may be swinging through an arc inches in length, and blurred by the speed of its swing. You are supposed to be scared. When you are alarmed enough, the spider will stop. That spider, very much magnified, is in this book with crickets and grasshoppers and divers beetles you may not know personally. But this is not an insect book, but science-fiction. If the habits of the creatures in it are authentic, it is because they are much more dramatic and interesting than things one can invent....

Year 7007 Fable Of A Forgotten Planet by A. K. Vijayakumar Pdf

A superman who flies across the whole world and breaks the rocks with his naked hands or a human being with a highly developed mind and consciousness bordering on to telepathy. A K Vijaykumar's debutant science fiction 'year 7007 - Fable of a Forgotten Planet' answers this question. Writer A K Vijaykumar, with a very engaging story explores the thesis propounded by Sri Aurobindo that the next step in the evolutionary ladder would be in the realm of spirit - specifically, in the acquisition of powers like telepathy. Year 7007 is a great page turner suspense and a thought provoking mesmerizing tale set on a stage thousands of years into the future as the name suggests. The story addresses the central mystery that the mind is much more than an assembly of neurons and neural circuitory. This is specially true of those who accept spiritual tenets, a taut psychological fiction, Year 7007 is a superb blend of edge-of-your-seat suspense and thought provoking commentary on the direction of scientific research and human limitations. The back drop of this book takes us into a world where, humankind has spread out and colonized space. The march of science and technology has conquered the disease, aging-and even death. The species has established itself on countless millions of worlds. There is, however, a lone exception, largely unnoticed at the fringe of this swarming human hive. The planet zenmahaily, that sinks gradually into oblivion. When finally rediscovered through an accident, does not seem too willing to be brought into the comity of worlds.

The forgotten planet: Mystique by Alain Costea Pdf

Earthly year: 2833 Planet: Mystique, under the influence of the Solar Empire "... From the moment she set foot, she couldn't get enough. If she could, she would have embraced it all in a single hug. The endless fields of plants, their soft green stems rising up to 50-70 cm, leafless and ending in clusters of intensely luminous red-to-pink peonies, the low grass forming a dense carpet of the same dark green—all of it gave the impression that the flowers were actually floating above the ground. She walked among them, as if walking on water… each touch creating ripples through the sea of blossoms. Unaware, she had come very close to the weeping willow wall. She wasn't sure where the name came from, but somehow it seemed to fit these trees perfectly—up to 40 meters tall, with trunks in the same omnipresent shade of dark green that turned almost fluorescent lime green toward the middle, adorned with small pink streaks where countless thin branches originated. These branches fell toward the ground, creating an illusion of perpetual levitation. ..."

The Forgotten Door by Alexander Key Pdf

“Well written fantasy with strong character emphasis and empathy” from the author of the sci-fi classic Escape to Witch Mountain (Kirkus Reviews). At night, Little Jon’s people go out to watch the stars. Mesmerized by a meteor shower, he forgets to watch his step and falls through a moss-covered door to another land: America. He awakes hurt, his memory gone, sure only that he does not belong here. Captured by a hunter, Jon escapes by leaping six feet over a barbed-wire fence. Hungry and alone, he staggers through the darkness and is about to be caught when he is rescued by a kind family known as the Beans. They shelter him, feed him, and teach him about his new home. In return, he will change their lives forever. Although the Beans are kind to Little Jon, the townspeople mistrust the mysterious visitor. But Jon has untold powers, and as he learns to harness them, he will show his newfound friends that they have no reason to be afraid.

Earth Unknown by M. R. Forbes Pdf

Some things are meant to stay forgotten... Former Centurion Space Force Captain Nathan Stacker is a criminal. He isn't proud of it, but the truth is there aren't many options for men like him in a place like Proxima - humankind's closest settlement to Earth. It's surprisingly hard to make a clean start on a planet with a population of over one hundred million, and the only thing keeping him out of a containment center is a job as a courier for the Trust - the planet's ruthless crime syndicate. It isn't the life he dreamed of when he entered the Space Force, but at least he has a wife who loves him. Everything changes when Nathan returns home to find her violently murdered, killed over a dangerous secret he never knew she held. Charged with her homicide, desperate to uncover the truth and avenge her death, Nathan launches a bold escape to the only place in the universe he thinks he'll be safe: Earth. He couldn't be more wrong. He's about to learn that some secrets are bigger than a planet. Some secrets are impossible to escape. And some secrets have the power to destroy more than one life and more than one world. Some secrets have the power to destroy everything.
