Under the Triple Suns is a science fiction novel by American writer Stanton A. Coblentz. It was first published in 1955 by Fantasy Press in an edition of 1,528 copies.
The novel concerns the survivors of the destruction of the earth and their attempt at settling a new planet.
Galaxy reviewer Groff Conklin panned the novel, saying "it has nothing new or even interesting to offer." [1] Anthony Boucher found the novel "sounds exactly like one of [Coblentz's] first science-fantasies back in 1928 . . . tinged with some amusing topsy-turvy satire." [2] P. Schuyler Miller found the novel marked by "heavy-handed satire" that "bludgeoned" the reader. [3]
Stanton Arthur Coblentz was an American writer and poet. He received a Master's Degree in English literature and then began publishing poetry during the early 1920s. His first published science fiction was The Sunken World, a satire about Atlantis, in Amazing Stories Quarterly for July, 1928. The next year, he published his first novel, The Wonder Stick. But poetry and history were his greatest strengths. Coblentz tended to write satirically. He also wrote books of literary criticism and nonfiction concerning historical subjects. Adventures of a Freelancer: The Literary Exploits and Autobiography of Stanton A. Coblentz was published the year after his death.
