Nightmare Planet Produced by Greg Weeks, Denny Lien, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Nightmare Planet" by Murray Leinster is a science fiction novel likely written in the early 1950s. The book centers around a human group that has become extinct in memory and knowledge over several generations on a planet devoid of life, originally an Earth-like world that has transformed into a savage and hostile environment. The narrative follows their struggle for survival and exploration of their world, leading to a journey of rediscovery of civilization and the rebirth of humanity on the planet. The story follows Burl, a member of a group of humans who have lost all traces of their former civilization after their ancestors crashed on this world generations ago. The humans, living in a treacherous jungle filled with enormous predatory insects and fungi, are on the brink of extinction. When an instinct to survive is ignited within Burl, he becomes a leader, fostering a newfound strength and courage among his people. As they venture out of their perilous home, they encounter the sun and fresh air for the first time, transforming their way of life and allowing them to forge an alliance with the dogs, which leads to the establishment of a small but vibrant community. The narrative builds to their reunification with other humans, marking the dawning of a new era for their kind. Through its arc of survival, adventure, and rediscovery, the novel combines philosophical reflections on human civilization with thrilling elements of science fiction.
