Explore "Deathworld" by Harry Harrison on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Further reading of the log produced no new evidence. There was a good deal more information about the early animal and plant life and how deadly they were, as well as the first defenses against them. Interesting historically, but of no use whatsoever in countering the menace. The captain apparently never thought that life forms were altering on Pyrrus, believing instead that dangerous beasts were being discovered. He never lived to change his mind. The last entry in the log, less than two months after the first attack, was very brief. And in a different handwriting.
_Captain Kurkowski died today, of poisoning following an insect bite. His death is greatly mourned._
