Summary: "The Call from Beyond" by Clifford D. Simak is a science fiction novel written during the early to mid-20th century. The story revolves around themes of exploration, human mutation, and the consequences of scientific discovery in a universe filled with both wonder and horror. Simak crafts a tale that questions the nature of humanity and what lies outside our understanding, blending elements of adventure with philosophical reflections on existence. The plot follows Frederick West, a man in search of a place where he can escape the constraints of Earth, leading him to Pluto's moon. Upon arrival, he encounters a derelict space hut inhabited by Walter J. Darling, a once-great scientist now consumed by alcoholism. From him, West learns of the mysterious inhabitants of Pluto and their experiments with controlled human mutation. The tale unfolds further as West becomes entangled with other characters, including the enigmatic scientist Louis Nevin and the telepathic entity known as the White Singer. Ultimately, West discovers the plan to reshape human civilization through the use of hormones developed in Pluto's cold laboratories. As he navigates betrayal and madness, he learns that the line between humanity and the grotesque is perilously thin. The narrative leads to a climactic confrontation that challenges the very fabric of human identity and existence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
