Book description
'Spaceships in their thousands, and they're attacking us! They've come
from somewhere toward our galaxy - have come out of intergalactic space
itself to attack our universe!'
The Interstellar Patrol, that fabulous fleet manned by all the assorted
races of our galaxy, faced its greatest struggle when that alarm came
through. For this was an attack from OUTSIDE THE UNIVERSE, a vast
migration from another galaxy, and it had to be stopped if a thousand
worlds were to survive!
This terrific classic space novel on the grandest scale involves three
giant galaxies in an all-out conflict. Edmond Hamilton (1904-1977)
Born in Youngstown, Ohio, Edmond Hamilton was raised there and in nearby
New Castle, Pennsylvania. He was something of a child prodigy,
graduating from high school and undertaking his college education at
Westminster College at the young age of 14; he dropped out aged 17. A
popular science fiction writer in the mid-twentieth century, Hamilton's
career began with the publication of his short story 'The Monster God of
Mamurth' in the August 1926 issue of Weird Tales
. After the war, he wrote for DC Comics, producing stories for Batman,
Superman and The Legion of Superheroes. Ultimately, though, he was
associated with an extravagant, romantic, high-adventure style of SF,
perhaps best represented by his 1947 novel The Star Kings
. He was married to fellow SF writer Leigh Brackett from the end of 1946
until his death three decades later.
