In his globular mud-submarine, at home above or below the squirming mud-seas of Uranus, lazy Lonny Higgens dozes through the eternal spring fever of a strange world.

J. Harvey Haggard's 1941 story opens on a wonderfully atmospheric alien planet before rousing its idle hero into adventure. Colorful, imaginative golden-age pulp. Read it for vivid old-school planetary romance amid the mists and mud-seas of Uranus.
