Inhaltsangabe

"The Metal Moon" is a collaborative science fiction short story authored by Everett C. Smith and Roman F. Starzl. The novel's plot takes place in a future where humanity has made technological developments that allow humans to travel beyond Earth. As the title character is so indulgent, readers are forced to keep reading to find out what happens next. Some stories are brutal and weird, while others creep up on you and draw you in slowly. A group of adventurous explorers embarks on a trip to investigate a mysterious metal moon orbiting a distant planet. When they reach at their destination, they find a world unlike any they've seen before: a moon composed entirely of metallic stuff. As they investigate the metallic moon's surface, the explorers discover amazing facts and encounter odd, alien people. These aliens have unique talents and a strong connection to the metallic composition of the moon. The story unfolds with astonishment and fear as the explorers try to understand the moon's origins and the purpose of its inhabitants. "The Metal Moon" is a classic science fiction story that blends elements of space exploration, alien contact, and cosmic mystery.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Roman Frederick Starzl (1899-1976) was a writer from the United States. He and his father (John V. Starzl) previously owned the Le Mars Globe-Post newspaper in Le Mars, Iowa. Roman Frederick's father was physician Thomas E. Starzl. His work is largely forgotten today, yet he was dubbed a "master" by E. E. Smith, the pioneer of space opera. Smith's Galactic Patrol may have been influenced by Starzl's Interplanetary Flying Patrol in The Hornets of Space. In Eric Leif Davin's Pioneers of Wonder, Thomas Starzl talks extensively about his father. He was the son of John (born Johann) V. Starzl and Margaret Theisen, and was born Roman Frederick Starzl. The son of Josef Starzl and Magdalena Ruba, John V. Starzl was born on April 9, 1865, in Bischofteinitz (after known as Vvrov) in the Austrian Empire. Josef Starzl moved to the United States in 1878 with his wife and five children (including John). Everett C. Smith is a diverse and skilled author noted for his ability to build interesting narratives across multiple genres. Smith's work captivates readers and takes them on thought-provoking adventures with a good sense of storytelling and an enthusiasm for exploring varied issues. He consistently produces engaging stories, well-developed characters, and beautifully conceived universes whether he delves into science fiction, mystery, fantasy, or other literary genres.
