Abraham Merritt, an American author, wrote a fantasy book titled The Metal Monster. It was first published as a serial in 1920's Argosy All-Story Weekly and contains Dr. Goodwin's comeback after first appearing in The Moon Pool. In the foreword of the epic adventure, Merritt is given the task of telling the world about Dr. Walter T. Goodwin's extraordinary story of his encounter in the Trans-Himalayan mountains, in order to warn everyone about the terrible fate Goodwin's group narrowly avoided and the possibility that there are other monsters like these out there. Dr. Goodwin is in the Himalayas on a botanical expedition. He runs across Dick Drake, the son of a former science buddy, there. They have seen what appears to be a bizarre, purposeful aurora-like effect. They encounter Martin and Ruth Ventnor, a brother and sister team of scientists, as they venture outside to conduct their investigation. As Darius III commanded the Persians during Alexander of Macedon's more than two thousand-year conquest, the two are under siege today. Norhala is gradually converting Ruth to take on her little sister's traits. Her brother Martin attempts to shoot the Metal Emperor, who retaliates with a ray blast, rendering Martin unconscious.

A fantasy book by American author Abraham Merritt is titled The Moon Pool. The original versions of "The Moon Pool" and its sequel, "Conquest of the Moon Pool," both published in All-Story Weekly in 1918, were both short stories (1919). These were later revised and published as a novel in 1919. Dr. Goodwin, the main character, will subsequently show again in Merritt's second book, The Metal Monster (1920). Merritt continued the tradition of the "lost world" novel even if he wasn't the first to write one (he followed in the footsteps of Bulwer-Lytton, Burroughs, Conan Doyle, and others). The story revolves around an advanced race that has evolved deep inside the Earth. Their most intellectual individuals eventually have children. It incorporates both immense virtue and great evil, yet it gradually drifts away from its creators and toward evil. The Dweller and the Shining One are two names for the entity. Only three members of the original race-known as the Silent Ones-remain. They have been "purged of dross" and are regarded as being higher, nobler, and more angelic than humans.
