NOT AVAILABLE IN STORES! The planets Arisia and Eddore were at war for control
of the Universe. The battleground was a tiny, backward planet in a remote
galaxy. Earth. Only a few Earthlings knew of the titanic struggle, and of the
strange, decisive role they were to play in the war of the super-races.... This
book collects the first half of the first--and one of the most famous--space
epics of all time. With these books, 'Doc' Smith set the standard for all
science fiction to come, creating what David Weber calls 'the great archetypes
of the genre': Millions of starships, planet-devouring negaspheres, 'beams of
lambent energy,' 'cones of destruction,' hyper-spatial tubes, millenia-old
beings of pure intellect and limitless psionic powers, whole galaxies wracked
by war. These were the stuff and the scale on which Doc Smith wrote, and
thumping good it was. Jacket art by John Berkey.(709 pp.) A must for Sci-Fi
fans!
