Summary | "Beyond Light" by Nelson S. Bond is a science fiction tale written in the early 20th century. The story is set on the planet Venus and explores themes of survival, human emotions, and the encounter with alien life. It illustrates the dire circumstances faced by the main characters after a spaceship crashes on the planet, forcing them to confront both the harsh realities of their environment and the unknown threats that lurk within. The narrative follows Tim Mallory, an engineer, and his fiancée, Dorothy Lane, as they are caught in a catastrophic crash of their spaceship, the Orestes, commanded by Dorothy's father, Captain Lane. Finding themselves stranded in the treacherous Badlands of Venus, the trio must survive hunted by bizarre, bat-like creatures known as bat-men or vampires. As they explore the depths of the planet, battling both the elements and hostile beings, they uncover a hidden underground city that reveals the nature of their captors. The story ultimately combines thrilling adventure and a fight for survival, as the characters grapple with their relationships and the evolving dynamics of love and bravery amidst unimaginable challenges.
