| Summary | "Dark Dawn" by Henry Kuttner, writing under the pseudonym Keith Hammond, is a science fiction novel likely penned in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around the aftermath of an atomic explosion and its impact on the main character, Daniel Gresham, who becomes blind but gains extraordinary abilities that allow him to perceive an undersea civilization and its struggles. The narrative follows Gresham as he is rescued after the blast, only to discover that he can see again—though not through his own eyes. Instead, he gains the ability to perceive through the mind of an underwater being known as the Swimmer. As he explores the wonders of an alien undersea civilization, he uncovers a conflict involving other dark, degenerate beings that threaten the beauty and existence of the Swimmers. Gresham becomes determined to return to the depths below to assist the Swimmers and exact revenge on their oppressors. The book delves into themes of beauty, alien life, and the consequences of human actions that lead to devastation, ultimately portraying a man's quest to save an alien culture while grappling with his own blindness.
