Summary "Giants on the Earth" by S. P. Meek is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a future where Earth is under the oppressive rule of Jovian overlords, featuring a protagonist named Damis, a Nepthalim with both Jovian and Earth lineage, who becomes embroiled in the conflict between his people and their alien rulers. The book likely explores themes of rebellion, identity, and the struggle for freedom as Damis and the Earthmen rise against their oppressors. The opening of the novel introduces Glavour, the Jovian Viceroy of Earth, who is depicted as a tyrannical figure exercising his dominance over the Earthlings. The narrative quickly escalates as Glavour's lust for a young Earth woman, Lura, leads to a confrontation between him and Damis, who comes to her defense. As the tensions heighten, it is clear that a revolt is brewing among the oppressed Earthmen. This initial conflict sets the stage for a larger rebellion, showcasing Damis's internal struggle between his dual heritage and the impending war against a repressive regime. The opening establishes an urgent tone filled with intrigue, conflict, and the promise of a significant uprising to come. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
