Plot summary
An Earth-like atmosphere is discovered on the thirteenth moon of Jupiter, and five male astronauts, carrying handguns, are sent to investigate. On the moon a monster attacks a young woman named Hestia, and the crew drives it off. They go on to find New Atlantis, a small settlement founded by people who escaped when the original Atlantis sank. Sixteen women and one elderly man, Prasus, are all that remain, and the women revere him as their father. The monster prowls outside the city walls. It stands about six feet tall, with dark, pitted skin, and bullets do not stop it. Prasus wants the visitors to stay and help him kill the creature.
