Synopsis: From the jacket: After a thousand years in space, the earth vessel lands on a remote planet capable of supporting human life. Inside the explorer ship an almost inaudible hum fills the silence; computer lights blink softly, signaling the awakening of the cyrogenically preserved crew.
But only one crew member awakens from his artificial sleep. A systems malfunction has killed the others. Carter Horton is alone.
Horton learns almost immediately that the planet is inhabited by a bizarre creature who calls himself Carnivore. And the creature addresses him in English, the language he had learned from an earlier traveler who called himself Shakespeare. Now, Shakespeare is dead, and Horton soon learns that he and Carnivore, too, face certain peril unless they can get away from this strange planet.
Leaving is no simple affair. Carnivore, and before him, Shakespeare, had come to the planet via an inner- space tunnel, one of many such tunnels that exist throughout the galaxy. But this tunnel has broken down and works only one way the wrong way- and there is no exit. And Horton's explorer ship is a thousand years obsolete incapable of returning them to civilization.
The creature called Carnivore and the earthman, Horton, are marooned on a planet of mysterious ruins bespeaking a catastrophic end to a once- grand civilization. The portentous signs they begin to encounter intimate some dire, ominous happening will soon be fall them-unless they can repair the inner-space tunnel and leave Shakespeare's Planet.
