About this ebook

Now with an Historical Afterword by Ron MillerIncludes the original illustrations by Frank R. Paul
Featured in Ron Millers _The Conquest of Space Book Series.Ó First published in English in 1929, Otto Willi Gail's little-known space travel novel is almost documentary in its realism. Based on the latest research by such pioneers in astronautics as Hermann Oberth and Max Valier, "The Shot Into Infinity" is not only an exciting and suspenseful novel but also an accurate mirror of the state of the art of space travel three-quarters of a century ago.

At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

This is not in any way a novel. This is MANY, MANY assorted male author short stories written before 1940. As it was reported to me as a follow up to The Brawn and Brain series, I tried to poke for further information. I believe included is a short story by Ray Bradbury, one by Braum Stoker (although IIRC that was a female), plus a whole lost more. If I was interested in anything rare by well-known sci-fi authors I'd have gladly read the book. But, none of these authors even wanted the inference of being female. Not even Braum Stoker. This dismays me and I do not feel it even is Possible for any of the stories to Follow Mccaffrey's series as the dates in all 8 lists are Prior she ever began writing in the Brainship shorts in the 70's. I have returned the book so, cannot review the stories Actual contents. I was sorely disappointed in the description provided. It was in no way true to the actual contents of the eBook. For shame, seller, SHAME!
