Description
"The Red One" by Jack London is a short story first published in 1918. Deep in the jungles of Guadalcanal, scientist Bassett discovers something extraordinary: a giant red sphere of apparent extraterrestrial origin, worshipped as a god by headhunting natives who make human sacrifices to it. As Bassett becomes increasingly obsessed with unlocking the mystery of the Red One, he finds himself drawn deeper into its power and the darkness of the jungle itself.
