Renaissance is a science fiction novel by American writer Raymond F. Jones. The novel was originally serialized in the magazine Astounding in 1944.

Plot introduction

[edit]

The story concerns two worlds: the remnants of Earth, which has been destroyed, and Kronweld, which exists in another plane.

Reception

[edit]

P. Schuyler Miller described Renaissance as "a strangely moving book, overcoming its lack of characterization and other traditional shortcomings by [its] drive and sweep of imagination."[1]
