The Green World Produced from Worlds of If Science Fiction, May 1963 Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Green World" by Hal Clement is a science fiction novel written in the early 1960s. The story explores the complexities of life on an alien planet called Viridis, focusing on the experiences of Robin Lampert, a geophysicist, and a group of scientists as they investigate the strange fauna and geophysical characteristics of this mysterious world. Central to the plot is the group's expedition to uncover the secrets of Viridis, which range from the perils posed by its wildlife to the unexpected clues regarding the evolution and history of life on the planet. At the start of the narrative, Lampert visits a zoo on the planet Emeraude as part of his preparations for the expedition. The exhibits provoke curiosity and apprehension, especially when informed of the human deaths associated with some of the alien species. Following this, Lampert and his team take a helicopter to a remote area of Viridis where they plan to study the geological formations and potential fossils. Their discussions reveal the challenges of navigating this hazardous environment, including an awareness of the dangerous wildlife. The opening sets the stage for a blend of scientific inquiry and the thrill of exploration, interwoven with the tension of survival in an alien ecosystem where the unknown looms large.
