Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"The Forgotten Planet" by Murray Leinster is a science fiction novel published in 1954. On a world seeded with life by humans but never fully colonized, insects and plants have evolved to monstrous proportions over thousands of years. The descendants of a crashed spaceship must fight for survival against terrifying creatures: ants the size of wolves, chicken-sized flies, and enormous flying wasps. In this hostile environment where humans have become the prey, survival demands courage, ingenuity, and constant vigilance against giant predators.
