Publisher Description

Edmond Hamilton's "The World with a Thousand Moons" is a gripping science fiction short story. This story transports readers to a brilliantly conceived extraterrestrial realm brimming with mysterious and diverse living types. The story takes place on Venus, a distant planet where humanity has constructed a research station. The unusual conditions of the planet, including permanent cloud cover and a plethora of moons, have resulted in a world of eternal twilight. Despite the harsh conditions, scientists on Venus uncover a stunning discovery—a living species unlike any found on Earth. The "venusian," as this one-of-a-kind entity is known, possesses the extraordinary capacity to envision entire worlds into existence. Other monsters generated from the venusian's imagination fill these dreamworlds. The story is told through the eyes of a scientist named Blair, who is fascinated by the venusian's creative capacity. Blair begins to comprehend the huge ramifications for human understanding of the world as he explores deeper into the secrets of the venusian's talents. Finally, the novel delves into issues of creativity, creation, and the infinite possibilities of life beyond Earth. Edmond Hamilton's work deftly blends elements of awe and inquiry, enabling readers to consider the vast possibilities of otherworldly existence.
