| Summary | "The Planet That Time Forgot" by Donald A. Wollheim is a science fiction novel written in the early 1940s. The book explores themes of time, perception, and interplanetary conflict, particularly focusing on the collision of two civilizations on a mysterious planet. The story is set in a science fiction context, delving into the exploration of a newly discovered Planet P, and its inhabitants who experience time at a vastly different rate than humans. The narrative alternates between the conflict between two kingdoms, Toom and Nimbor, and the adventures of a space crew as they travel to Planet P. Oomith, the noble leader of Toom, faces the threat of invasion from the warlike Nimbor, led by the arrogant prince Aald. As she seeks to save her people, her fate intertwines with the Earthmen explorers who eventually discover that the inhabitants of Planet P are frozen in time due to their planet's unique temporal properties. The Earth crew uses advanced technology to intervene in the impending war, capturing the enemy's weapons and aiding Toom while unraveling the mystery of the frozen population of Planet P. Through their adventure, the story raises questions about power, dignity, and the effects of time on life and society. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
