THE FORGOTTEN PLANET

by Murray Leinster ‧ RELEASE DATE: June 25, 1954

One for the ""b.e.m."" (bug-eyed monsters, in case you've forgotten) fans give all the horrible to putrid details of life on a planet strewn eons ago with seeds, microbes and the young of insects and animals. After 40 generations, some men stranded there by accident, have become primitives at the mercy of the giantism around them. One of them however, Burl, begins to reason slowly and works, among the muck, to better the condition of his tribe, until another space ship full of ""sportsmen"" arrives to hunt the monsters and present Burl and his people with packaged ""educations"" and the start of a better life. This for our children? Hardly appetizing.
