| Summary | "Devil Crystals of Arret" by Hal K. Wells is a science fiction novel written during the early 20th century. The story explores themes of adventure and danger as it follows the characters Larry Powell and Joan Marlowe, who venture into the hostile alien world of Arret in search of Joan’s safety. The novel delves into concepts of atomic science and alternate realities, as the protagonists grapple with the unknown dangers lurking in a bizarre landscape. In the story, young Larry Powell attempts to rescue his fiancée, Joan Marlowe, after she accidentally becomes trapped in the strange world of Arret, a realm filled with rat-like creatures and mysterious Devil Crystals. When Joan uses an atomic projector to explore Arret, she becomes marooned, prompting Larry and her uncle, Benjamin Marlowe, to hastily repair their equipment to save her before a twelve-hour limit dooms her to permanent exile. After Larry arrives in Arret, he faces harrowing encounters with its alien inhabitants, including the fearsome rat-men and the lethal Devil Crystals that feed on living beings. With clever tactics and bravery, Larry ultimately fights for both their lives as they confront the bizarre dangers of this strange world, culminating in a tense final escape at the last moment.
