The Cosmic Geoids and One Other (1949) by John Taine (ed. Jerry eBooks 2021)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.2Mb
Overview: The first Cosmic Geoid was discovered in 1879 by the Lascelles paleontological expedition. And after three hundred years of constant searching forty-three more were found.
When the technicians opened the first geoid they discovered small plates of some black metal covered on both sides with minute characters. But the key to the mystery of the symbols etched so deeply into the strange metal plates was more difficult than the mere finding of the specimens. The scientists were in much the same position as a savage might be if asked to describe the most intricate apparatus of modern technology and to explain its underlying science. Concepts, not words, were the scientists’ irremediable lack.
But in three centuries of the most intense study the Alliance of World Scientists had read enough of the records to know that the full history of the death of the Eosian universe, which the laborious translation of the plates was revealing, contained a message of urgent importance for the survival of our race.
Suspense mounts steadily from the moment Professor Gifford (one of the most profound of all the scholars who had devoted their lives to the history of the Cosmic Geoids) is found dead without a trace of anything which might have caused his death. As succeeding mysteries unfold, a breathless, uncanny atmosphere envelops the story and the reader.
This volume also contains THE BLACK GOLDFISH, a story involving scientific research, international intrigue, and Cleo, the Black Goldfish.
