"The Man on the Meteor" by Ray Cummings is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with a man, later named Nemo, who awakens on a small meteor orbiting Saturn, devoid of memory and knowledge of his past. As he navigates this alien world, he encounters an ethereal golden-haired girl named Nona and discovers the strange environment populated by bizarre Marinoid beings, setting the stage for a tale of cosmic adventure and primitive survival. The opening of the narrative introduces Nemo as he regains consciousness on a meteor, struggling to understand his surroundings and his very existence. After shedding his confining suit, he experiences the unique conditions of low gravity, which enables him to float and leap with ease. As he explores this alien landscape, he soon discovers Nona, who swims gracefully in the air, leading him to a hidden cave where he finds sustenance and comfort. Their initial interactions hint at a blossoming relationship amidst an unfamiliar world, establishing the groundwork for the intrigue and challenges they will face together in this surreal setting.
