Synopsis

Space western✓, space pirates✓, space derelicts✓, space detectives✓, space bandits✓, space mysteries✓ . . . you get the idea! And all of them started in the Pulp era!
This anthology focuses on space adventures short stories and novelettes published between 1930’s and 1950’s where many fascinating stories are easy to miss among so much mass-produced literature in the American pulp era magazines. In them you’ll find all sort of space action, adventure, mystery, and some romance, in the fast and entertaining style of the pulps.
With various illustrations from the Pulp magazines.
On this first Volume:
- The Free-Lance of Space. By Edmond Hamilton: All that stood between mankind and the loss of a life-saving drug was Rake Allan—who hated humanity.
- Lightning over Saturn. By Richard S. Shaver and Chester S. Geier: The Starquest had all organized piracy chasing her; the trouble was, she was unarmed. But old Carl Vierling had an idea about Saturn’s lightning.
- The Graveyard of Space. By Milton Lesser: Nobody knew very much about the Sargasso area of the void; only one thing was certain: if a ship was caught there it was doomed—
- Patrolman E-6 Gets his Man. By Benson Herbert: When the challenge of battle meant the honor of the force, not even the possible sacrifice of the life of Eda Summers could keep Rex Linn from the performance of his duty. (▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿)
- Hell Ship of Space. By Frederic Arnold Kummer, Jr.: Terror rode the pleasure ship when the moon rebels came. Then a weird thing happened and she became a ghost ship.
- Crusade Across the Void. By Dwight V. Swain: “Scum of the spaceways,” the interplanetary police called them, but when they fought for Justice, they were one blood with the crusaders!
- Collision in space. By Festus Pragnell: No one could have foreseen the things that were to happen when these two space ships smashed together out in the void . . !
