PLANET OF THE GODS - By Robert Moore Williams
CHAPTER I
CHAPTER II - Vegan World
CHAPTER III - The Four Visitors
CHAPTER IV - The Monster
CHAPTER V - What the Graves Revealed
CHAPTER VI - The Capture of the Ship
When the Third Interstellar Expedition finally catches sight of a world circling Vega, the crew's excitement turns into a quiet awe. Through a telescope, the astronomer Ron Val spots a thin atmosphere and shimmering lakes on the nearest planet, a discovery that challenges the long‑held belief that planetary systems are rare. Captain Jed Hargraves, seasoned and pragmatic, knows the mission now carries the weight of humanity's first real chance to step onto an alien shore.
The tension aboard the ship reflects a clash of hopes: scientists dream of intelligent beings and fresh exchanges, while veterans warn that past encounters on Mars and Venus ended in silence. As the vessel glides closer, the promise of air, water, and perhaps life pushes the crew toward a landing that could rewrite textbooks and personal destinies alike. Listeners are invited to join the cautious optimism and restless curiosity that drive humanity's boldest step into the unknown.
