War-Gods of the Void

Beschreibung

War-Gods of the Void by Henry Kuttner explores themes of survival, rebellion, and the quest for freedom against oppressive forces. The story follows an Earth investigator on a dangerous mission on the hostile planet Venus. As the protagonist searches for his target, he becomes entangled in a deadly phenomenon known as North-Fever, which drives men to madness and death. This fever, however, is part of a larger, dark conspiracy orchestrated by an ancient alien race that enslaves the planet's inhabitants. The protagonist soon discovers the true nature of the Swamja, the alien rulers who use the fever to control both humans and native species. Themes of resistance and escape emerge as the protagonist joins forces with other captives to fight back against their alien oppressors. Alongside his personal quest for justice, the novel explores the tension between individual desire and the greater good, as the characters struggle to survive in a perilous and oppressive world. Ultimately, War-Gods of the Void is a story of resilience, moral choices, and the fight for freedom in a universe filled with formidable challenges.

Naphtaly Kuttner (1829-1903) and Amelia Bush (c. 1834-1911), the parents of his father, the bookseller Henry Kuttner (1863-1920), had come from Leszno in Prussia and lived in San Francisco since 1859; the parents of his mother, Annie Levy (1875-1954), were from Great Britain. Henry Kuttner's great-grandfather was the scholar Josua Heschel Kuttner. Kuttner grew up in relative poverty following the death of his father. As a young man he worked in his spare time for the literary agency of his uncle, Laurence D'Orsay (in fact his first cousin per marriage), in Los Angeles before selling his first story, "The Graveyard Rats", to Weird Tales in early 1936. It was while working for the d'Orsay agency that Kuttner picked Leigh Brackett's early manuscripts off the slush pile; it was under his tutelage that she sold her first story (to John W. Campbell at Astounding Stories).
