About The Green Girl

A beguiling first contact that changed pulp science fiction meet The Green Girl, a spellbinding Jack Williamson book reborn. When explorers of the early 20th century encounter a strange, green-skinned outsider, their voyage of curiosity becomes a tense, tender collision of worlds. The Green Girl story blends pulse-quickening adventure with reflective speculative fiction: daring space exploration, intimate interplanetary romance, and the moral puzzles raised by encountering extraterrestrial life.
