Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Spider Men of Gharr" by Wilbur S. Peacock is a science fiction novel written in the early 1940s. Set in a distant future where Earth has been ravaged and dominated by monstrous extraterrestrials known as Gharrians, the story follows Kimball Trent, who awakens from a long stasis of frozen sleep only to find himself alone in a transformed world. The narrative explores themes of survival, the fight against oppression, and the resilience of humanity in the face of overwhelming adversity. The plot centers on Kimball Trent, who, after inadvertently freezing himself for over five centuries, awakens to a world where the Gharrians have enslaved humanity. As he navigates this new reality, he meets Lura, a brave woman from the remnants of mankind who helps him understand the current plight and the social structure of underground survivors. Together, they join a group planning a raid to rescue fellow captives from a Gharrian stronghold. Throughout their harrowing journey, Kimball not only showcases his advanced weaponry skills but also grapples with the legacy of his past and the hope for a liberated future, culminating in a dramatic confrontation with the Gharrians, leading to the potential for a revolution among the oppressed.
