Original magazine version was in Startling Stories March 1939. [Extent of any revisions is unknown.] In 2050 A.D., the Earth spaceship Tycho lands on Iapetus, the 8th moon of Saturn, 900 million miles from the sun. Hugh Benning, minerologist, explores the world with his crew. After coming to a natural cave, the men begin to stagger and fall. Benning disappears into the mouth of the cave. The pilots gather up the limp forms and return them to Earth. Neither dead or alive - perhaps they are in a state of suspended animation? Can they be revived? |
