About this book

Under Arctic Ice, by Harry Bates, is billed as a complete novelette and as a sequel to Seed of the Arctic Ice. The contents name chapters titled, among others, An Empty Room, The Crash, The Fate of the Peary and The Last Assault. The house where the long trail started was one of gray walls, gray rooms and gray corridors, with carpets that muffled the feet which at intervals passed along them.

An attendant tells Mr. Torrance that he has been under observation treatment and that the doctors left strict orders that he must stay. Kenneth Torrance had returned to the whaling submarine Narwhal, of which he was first torpooner, with a confused story of men who were half-seals that lived in mounds under the Arctic ice. While Sallorsen was talking, several sealmen came dropping down from the main mass of the horde and grouped around the abandoned torpoon which lay some feet ahead of the submarine's bow.

About the author

Harry Bates

Farewell to the Master is a novella from 1940 in which a ship lands in Washington, a man and a robot come out, and the final line inverts everything the reader has assumed about which of the two was in charge. Hollywood turned it into The Day the Earth Stood Still and changed both the ending and the point.
