Summary: "The Green Dream" by Bryce Walton is a science fiction novel likely written during the mid-20th century. The story unfolds in a dystopian future on Venus, where themes of revenge, identity, and the repercussions of past actions are central. This tale explores the dark side of human nature and the consequences of exploitation and moral depravity. The plot centers around Owen Baarslag, a man who has tortured and enslaved the native Venusian swamp inhabitants while becoming addicted to a hallucinogenic drug called Stith. As he navigates his self-imposed exile, he plots to kill his twin brother, Albert, who he blames for his fall from grace. Albert is working on a revolutionary experiment in suspended animation, which Owen plans to exploit to escape his current life by assuming Albert's identity. The plot thickens as Owen grapples with supernatural nightmares orchestrated by Joha, a Venusian maid who harbors hatred for him. Ultimately, Owen's scheme leads to his demise as he undergoes the experiment he had intended to use for escape, igniting a cycle of suffering that transforms him into the very monster he once embodied, resulting in an ironic twist of fate.
