| Summary | "Astounding Stories of Super-Science, December 1930" by Various is a collection of science fiction short stories likely compiled during the early 20th century. The anthology features vivid and imaginative tales centered around themes of science, adventure, and the fantastic, appealing to readers with an interest in speculative fiction. The stories are penned by leading writers of the time, promising a range of thrilling narratives that delve into extraordinary scientific hypotheses and surreal scenarios. The opening of the anthology presents a story titled "Slaves of the Dust" by Sophie Wenzel Ellis, which features Hale Oakham, a young scientist on a quest to uncover the secrets of a mysterious Brazilian tribe called the Ungapuks. The narrative introduces us to Hale as he navigates the foreboding jungle and encounters magical elements, suggesting deep themes of life, death, and the interplay between science and nature. The tension escalates with the appearance of Sir Basil Addington, an eccentric figure whose experiments in biochemistry have transformed the Ungapuks and led to the creation of bizarre creatures. As Hale becomes entwined in Addington's cryptic operations, the story hints at a convoluted struggle between scientific ambition and moral implications, leaving readers eager for the unfolding drama.
