Summary "The World Beyond" by Ray Cummings is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. It follows the young protagonist, Lee Anthony, as he navigates themes of discovery, identity, and mystical science after being thrust into a fantastical realm that challenges the very fabric of reality. The book delves into the concepts of size-change technology and interstellar travel while exploring the dichotomy of good versus evil through Lee's encounters with both benevolent and malevolent beings. In the narrative, Lee grapples with the recent death of his guardian, Anna Green, who reveals that his long-lost grandfather, a scientist with grand aspirations, is set to return on Lee's twenty-first birthday. Shortly after her passing, Lee is kidnapped along with his party guests by mysterious figures, only to find himself aboard a spaceship bound for a strange new world. As the plot unfolds, he learns of a treacherous plot led by another Earthman, Tom Franklin, who utilizes a similar size-changing device to cause chaos in the new world. The climax features a dramatic confrontation between Lee and the now giant Franklin, which Lee ultimately overcomes. The story closes with Lee accepting the mantle of leadership in this new realm, understanding that true happiness lies in the goodness he chooses to cultivate in himself and among the inhabitants of this peaceful world beyond Earth.
