Nidor is a
fictional planet, the setting for two
science fiction books of the 1950's,
The Shrouded Planet and
The Dawning Light, written by
Robert Silverberg and
Randall Garrett. They were originally published in serial form in
Astounding Science Fiction, under the
pseudonym Robert Randall.Nidor's star is a massive, blue-white giant, which it orbits at a great distance, completing a revolution in about three thousand years. Even so, the planet is warmer than Earth, with a mean temperature in excess of 40 degrees Celsius. The planet is mostly covered by ocean, with a single continent inhabited by humanoids, the Nidorians, who have an
agrarian culture somewhat like late medieval or early Renaissance Europe.
