Weinbaum's worlds are eight tales of action, adventure, and alien discovery that revolve around the planets and moons of New Sol, a system redder and more compact than our own, but much like how our Solar System was imagined in the 1930s. We've updated Stanley G. Weinbaum's original science fiction short stories into a new setting, a system where his dreams could really take place, not too different from how he first wrote them, in the not-so-distant future.
Killer jungles, strange fevers, clever and unmistakably alien aliens, frozen landscapes. Human men and women struggle to explore, survive, and make a living off these bizarre and often hostile worlds, with all the energy, zest, and risk-taking of the explorers of remote stretches of Planet Earth and the pioneering aircraft of the early Twentieth Century. But much stranger--much more unexpected.
