| Summary | "The Green Girl" by Jack Williamson is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story occurs in a futuristic setting, specifically on May 4, 1999, where a series of catastrophic cosmic events threaten the Earth. The protagonist, Melvin Dane, along with his guardian Dr. Samuel Walden, embarks on a journey that intertwines science, adventure, and the supernatural, particularly revolving around Melvin's dreams of a mythical "Green Girl." At the start of the novel, a mysterious and ominous phenomenon blots out the sun, plunging the world into chaos and signaling an impending freeze. Melvin lives in a serene Florida coastal cottage with Dr. Walden, who is secretly working on a scientific solution to the alien menace threatening the planet. As they prepare to confront the danger, Melvin recalls his lifelong companionship with a dream-like figure, the Green Girl, whom he believes may exist in reality. Soon after, they discover an otherworldly dimension beneath the ocean, populated by bizarre life forms, including the embodiment of Melvin's dreams—Xenora, the Green Girl. The narrative unfolds a blend of adventure, existential queries, and the exploration of unknown realms, making the story intriguing for readers who enjoy imaginative and speculative tales.
