Arthur C. Clarke - A Meeting With Medusa
Posted on 2010-03-15

More After the success of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Clarke became perhaps the best known living Sci-Fi writer in the world. Using his inherent sense of humor and personal flair for adventure, Clarke combines the worlds of science and literature. A Meeting with Medusa is a science fiction novella by Arthur C. Clarke. It was originally published in 1972 and has since been included in several collections of Clarke's writings., Summary Taking place partly on Earth and partly in the atmosphere of Jupiter, the story tells of Howard Falcon, the captain of a new and experimental giant-sized helium-filled airship. When an accident causes the ship to crash, Falcon is badly injured and takes over a year to fully recover. Whilst recovering , much of his body is replaced by prosthetics, converting him into a cyborg with greatly increased powers of speed, reactions etc. In an effort to fully exploit his new powers, Falcon promotes an expedition to explore the atmosphere of Jupiter. Several years later, after many trials, the expedition is launched, with Falcon at the controls of Kon-Tiki, a helium balloon-supported craft that descends through the upper atmosphere of Jupiter. As the craft descends through the various cloud layers, Falcon discovers that the atmosphere supports at least two forms of life. One form is a giant jellyfish-like creature (the Medusa of the title) about one mile across (see Atmospheric beast), and the others are manta ray-like creatures about a hundred yards wide that apparently prey on the Medusa. The Medusa begins to show an interest in Kon-Tiki, and for his own and the expedition's safety, Falcon ignites his emergency power and escapes back into the upper atmosphere.
