Tama of the Light Country
あらすじ（英語）
Set on Mercury as they thought it might be in the early part of the 20th century, Ray Cummings' Tama of the Light Country, tells of a winged princess from what was thought to be the habitable portion of Mercury, a belt of twilight that circled a world too hot on one side and too cold on the other to support life anywhere else. In rebellion against a repressive, male-dominated society, Tama meets Guy Palisse, who shares her outrage at the way women are mistreated on Mercury. Together with like-minded women and men, they lead a fight for freedom for the women of Mercury that will have tragic, unintended consequences for Earth. From the back cover of the Ace first printing: Are all the artificial satellites circling the Earth ours? How can we be sure that these little metal globes, these observational devices with their top-secret interiors, were all made on Earth? Perhaps there is one up there that was not? When such a space satellite was located, it caused a furore. But that was nothing to what happened when it was accompanied by a mysterious rash of kidnappings - young girls were being taken away, carried off to some strange destiny in outer space! TAMA OF THE LIGHT COUNTRY is the startling novel of the conflict with Mercury - the smallest world of the solar system - which harbored an unsuspected secret.
