Mesklin is a vast, inhospitable, disc-shaped planet, so cold that its oceans are liquid methane and its snows are frozen ammonia.

Hal Clement : PAINOVOIMA 700 ››LuonnontieteelIisen›› science fictionin k|assikoita. Planeetta Mesklin - meret nestemäistä metaania, lumi jäätynyttä ammoniakkia, painovoima pinnalla jopa 700 kertaa suurempi kuin maan päällä. Barlennan - Mesklinin asukas, 40 cm pitkä, 36-jalkainen, satojen kilojen painoinen. Tehtävä - pelastaa planeetan navalta murskaavasta - painovoimasta ihmisten tutkimusraketti, jonka lasti on mittaamattoman arvokas -- tehtävä jonka vain Barlennan miehineen pystyy suorittamaan.
