Half-Breeds on Venus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Half-Breeds on Venus is a short story by science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov. It was published in Astonishing Stories in December 1940, and is a sequel to Half-Breed (Asimov). When published, it "made the cover", the first time that the author had done so. It was also the longest story he had had published.
The Tweenies have arrived on Venus and plan to settle there, initially in underground caverns to keep them away from the few Earth colonists. They make telepathic contact with amphibians (which become known as Phibs), one of the several native species.
As Earth colonists travel towards the areas occupied by the Tweenies, they team up with the Phibs to drive them away.
