"The Red Hell of Jupiter" by Paul Ernst is a science fiction novelette written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of Jupiter’s mysterious and menacing "Red Spot," the story follows Captain Brand Bowen and his companion Lieutenant Dex Harlow as they embark on a perilous mission to investigate the disappearance of several previous expeditions. As they delve deeper into the enigma of the red area, they encounter bizarre alien life forms and face deadly challenges while trying to uncover the dark secrets hidden within Jupiter. At the start of the narrative, Captain Bowen is recalled from leave by Commander Stone due to the troubling mystery surrounding the ominous red spot on Jupiter, where several ships have vanished without a trace. Bowen, determined to find out what has happened to his comrades, prepares for an emergency flight with his trusted companion Harlow. Their entrance into Jupiter's atmosphere leads them into an unexpected situation where they are irresistibly drawn toward the red spot. Ultimately, they encounter the alien Rogans—repulsive, pipe-like creatures who enslave their own kind and pose a grave threat to the Earthmen's lives. The opening chapters set the stage for a thrilling tale of adventure, danger, and the struggle for survival amidst the hostile environment of outer space.
