Green Gods

Henneberg (or the Hennebergs) is known as the "A. Merritt of France" because of the color and high fantasy of their concepts. The long-threatened greenhouse effect has become a reality. Here is the world beneath the greenhouse sky, where vegetation has evolved into huge and intelligent species and where humanity finds itself, after its own disasters, reduced more and more to servants of these Green Gods and foreseeing their own extinction. Only the daring sea prince Aran and the puppet queen Atlena stand against doomsday -- and this is their surprising adventure. Originally published in France in 1961.
