| Summary | "Astounding Stories of Super-Science, November, 1930" by Various is a collection of science fiction narratives written in the early 20th century. The anthology explores themes of futuristic technology, interplanetary conflicts, and bizarre life forms, with stories that range from military failure against unknown threats to interstellar communication. The tales feature various characters, including scientists and heroes confronting extraordinary challenges in a speculative world. The opening of the collection presents a story titled "The Wall of Death" by Victor Rousseau. It begins in a post-apocalyptic future where humanity faces annihilation at the hands of grotesque, half-human jelly-like creatures known as Earth Giants, which have emerged from Antarctica. The protagonists, Kay Bevan and Cliff Hynes, are forced to reckon with the reality of their military defeat and moral dilemmas regarding an annual sacrifice of citizens to the monsters. As they struggle to develop a device capable of neutralizing the threat, personal stakes heighten with Kay's deepening feelings for his love interest, Ruth Deane. The harrowing situation unfolds in a landscape filled with despair and looming terror, setting the stage for a gripping tale of survival and sacrifice. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
