In The Secret of the Ninth Planet, I felt like I was reading a Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon story from the 1930s. Set in the far future (sometime around now, I expect) but written when there was very little information available on the outer planets (Martian canals anyone?). Donald A Wollheim's young adult story of high schooler Burl Denning and how he gets roped into saving the planet is a fun, but scientifically inaccurate page turner.
Part of Wollheim's "Secret" series for younger readers, the novel brilliantly captures the era's optimism and curiosity about space exploration (albeit with a somewhat military and xenophobic bent). It's a decent blend of science fiction and youthful adventure, capturing the spirit of exploration and the boundless possibilities of the universe. While the scientific inaccuracies are blatant by today's standards, they add a retro feel to the narrative, reminiscent of classic pulp science fiction.
The "Secret" series, a staple in young adult science fiction when I was growing up, also includes titles like The Secret of Saturn's Rings and The Secret of the Martian Moons, each one taking the young protagonists on fantastic journeys across the solar system. This series, much like his renowned "Mike Mars" series, showcases Wollheim's talent for engaging young readers with a mix of adventure and science, albeit with a fanciful twist.
Beyond his work as an author, Wollheim was instrumental in shaping the science fiction community as we know it today. Often referred to as the father of the modern science fiction convention, he played a pivotal role in organizing the first of these gatherings, setting the stage for what would eventually evolve into massive events like Worldcon. His influence extended beyond literature into the very fabric of sci-fi culture, fostering a community where enthusiasts and creators could come together to innovate in the genre.
If you come across a copy of The Secret of the Ninth Planet, it's a nostalgic gem worth picking up. The book is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era of science fiction, brimming with adventure and wonder. It's a good read for those who appreciate simple sci-fi and enjoy fantastical stories as imagined through the lens of the Sputnik era.… (lisätietoja)
