Lost Ships
Informazioni su questo ebook
Outpost on Io (1942) – In a crystalline death lay the only release for those prisoners of that Ionian hell-outpost. Yet MacVickers and the men had to escape—for to remain meant the conquering of the Solar System by the inhuman Europans. A four chapter novelette.
The Citadel Of Lost Ships (1943) – It was a gypsy world, built of space flotsam, peopled with the few free races of the Solar System. Roy Campbell, outcast prey of the Coalition, entered its depths to seek haven for the Kraylens of Venus – only to find that it had become a slave trap from which there was no escape. A five chapter novelette.
Last Call For Sector 9G (1955) – Out there in the green star system; far beyond the confining grip of the Federation, moved the feared Bitter Star, for a thousand frigid years the dark and sinister manipulator of war-weary planets. An eight chapter novelette.
