설명
They thrust the terrified maiden into his cage-
"If youre'really a MAN - prove it!"
Her name was Barbara, a lovely young redhead who found herself cast as a human sacrifice into the cage of the creature from space who called himself a man. Her purpose: to let him prove it if he was, or to destroy him if he lied!
His name was Davis. He had dared the perils of interstellar space to find an unknown planet - and discovered a world where men were forgotten creatures from mythology, where children were born to maiden mothers after exposure to a mysterious, pain-inflicting machine.
VIRGIN PLANET is gripping, pulse-tingling science fiction at its best - the unbelievable story of a world that had forgotten the facts of sex, and of the man who had to teach them to a million women. No one but POUL ANDERSON could tell this racing, penetrating story with its solid basis of scientific fact and its deep understanding of the twisted paths the human soul can take. VIRGIN PLANET is packed with violence and lust, with revelry and far-seeing compassion. In it you'll meet Elinor, the girl who was a queen's concubine... Valeria, the passionate warrior maid who battled Barbara for the Man from space... Kathleen, whose interest in sex was analytical and scientific - until she discovered herself swept away by emotions she had never known existed! Anderson's story is as fresh as tomorrow - as exciting as an exploding sun - and ribald as life itself.
