Project Gutenberg 2008-01-03 Public domain in the USA. 297 Long, Frank Belknap 1903 1994 The Sky Trap Produced from Comet July 1941. Produced by Greg Weeks, Alexander Bauer and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Sky Trap" by Frank Belknap Long is a science fiction novel written in the early 1940s. The book explores themes of human nature and survival within an extraordinary and tense setting, as a group of characters navigates a bizarre situation that challenges their perceptions of reality and existence. It is likely to appeal to readers interested in speculative fiction that examines the consequences of scientific phenomena and the resilience of the human spirit. The story centers around Lawton, a meteorologist aboard the stratoship Perseus, who finds himself in a perplexing and dangerous situation when the ship becomes suspended in what appears to be an invisible bubble high in the atmosphere. As Lawton and the crew grapple with the lack of movement and the strange gases outside, they soon discover that they are not only trapped but also surrounded by rapidly proliferating and threatening alien vegetation. Tensions rise as the crew struggles with madness induced by the peculiar environment, and Lawton devises risky plans to escape. The narrative is a gripping exploration of how human instincts and social dynamics are tested in the face of the unknown, ultimately leading to a suspenseful confrontation with both the mysterious threats outside and the internal conflicts within the crew.
