Perihal e-buku ini

The first of the new meteors landed on the earth in November, 1940. It was discovered by a farmer in his field near Brookline, Massachusetts, shortly after daybreak on the morning of the 11th. Astronomically, the event was recorded by the observatory at Harvard as the sudden appearance of what apparently was a new star, increasing in the short space of a few hours from invisibility to a power beyond that of the first magnitude, and then as rapidly fading again to invisibility. This star was recorded by two of the other great North American observatories, and by one in the Argentine Republic. That it was comparatively small in mass and exceedingly close to the earth, even when first discovered, was obvious. All observers agreed that it was a heavenly body of an entirely new order.

Ray Cummings (1887-1957)
Ray Cummings was the working name of US writer Raymond King Cummings, author of over 600 stories under various names. His most prolific period was between 1935 and 1942, when he wrote more than half of these works. He is rated as one of the "founding fathers of the science fiction pulp genre". Cummings was a personal assistant to Thomas Edison and a technical writer from 1914 to 1919. His most highly regarded work was The Girl in the Golden Atom, published in 1922, which was an expanded version of a short story of the same name, published three years earlier.
