THE present likelihood is that the first interplanetary flight will probably be by mean of a rocket-propelled ship. As far as our knowledge goes the rocket seems to be the most feasible means of propulsion because it will reach its greatest efficiency in the vacuum of interstellar space.If the conditions on other planets, including our moon, are not too prohibitive, it is doubtless true that these planets will be explored for whatever mineral wealth or possibilities of life they may contain. The resulting interplanetary commerce will call into being a host of problems, such as the protection of cargo and passenger shipments against natural and human agents that might wish to destroy them.In that case, the Earth-Guard that Mr, Hamilton describes so vividly will play a most important part in the protection of such commerce,Mr. Hamilton, as is usual with him, has, in this story, developed it so that we were unable to predict from page to page what would happen next. And the editors were just as fooled by the surprising denouement as we believe our readers will be.

He was afraid—not of the present or the future, but of the past. He was afraid of the thing tagged Reed Kieran, that stiff blind voiceless thing wheeling its slow orbit around the Moon, companion to dead worlds and silent space.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Edmond Hamilton was a 20th century American author whose sci-fi works were featured in various magazines during the mid-1900s.

Edmond Hamilton. For most people, this name conjures visions of two-fisted space opera—pure pulp science fiction. And Hamilton—known as the author of the Captain Future series—was indeed one of the foremost writers of pulp space opera. Over the years, as his work became more polished and sophisticated, he became far more than that: a visionary of the future whose imagination knew no bounds. He was truly a cosmic writer, as stories such as “Devolution” (in this collection) demonstrate. If you are interested in pulp science fiction at its pulpiest—look no farther. Edmond Hamilton is the author for you. Included in this volume: THE DOOR INTO INFINITY THE LEGION OF LAZARUS DREAMER'S WORLDS THE CITY AT WORLD’S END THE WORLD WITH A THOUSAND MOONS THE STARS, MY BROTHERS THE SARGASSO OF SPACE THE MAN WHO SAW THE FUTURE THE MONSTER-GOD OF MAMURTH THE MAN WHO RETURNED THE SECOND SATELLITE MONSTERS OF MARS THE MAN WHO EVOLVED DEVOLUTION THE BIRTHPLACE OF CREATION CORRIDORS OF THE STARS And don't forget to search this ebook store for "Wildside Megapack" to see more great entries in this series, covering mysteries, westerns, science fiction, historical, and much, much more!
