The Forgotten Planet [MP3 CD] [Jan 01, 2017] Murray LEINSTER (1896 - 1975)

IDB Productions, 2017-01-01. MP3 CD. New. Across the galaxy, a world had been embedded for existence by men, first with microorganisms and then with shrubs and bugs. A 3rd excursion, prepared to furnish the threshing with animals, did not take place. This embodies a retcon presented in "Nightmare Planet." In the first 2 tales, the planet is characterized as a faraway upcoming planet of life after a truant greenhouse effect has followed in the annihilation of many animals and the destruction of the evolution of man. Thousands of years had passed, the bugs and shrubs flourished into enormous extents. The storyline of the book illustrates the survival of the fittest by progenies of a destroyed spacecraft as they clash with ants the size of a fox, hovers the size of birds, and huge winged bees. </br></br>Murray Leinster was a pseudonym of William Fitzgerald Jenkins, a US author of sci-fi novel and interspersed classical literature. He authored and circulated over 1,500 short tales and essays, 14 film calligraphies and uncounted radio programs and television series. </br></br>Murray was born in Norfolk, Virginia, to George B. Jenkins and Mary L. Jenkins. His father was a financial accountant.
