Synopsis

Written by Doc EE Smith, considered by modern luminaries such as Clark and Aasimov as one of the three great writers of early 20th century science fiction, alongside Heinlein and Weinbaum comes: Triplanetary!

This is the original form of Dr EE Smiths Triplanetary, as presented in the January 1934 issue of Amazing Stories, before later revisions attempted to place it within his better known Lensman series. Described by Smith as a book "in which scientific detail would not be bothered about, and in which his imagination would run riot." Triplanetary is science-fiction in the mold of Buck rogers and Flash Gordon. Chronicling the adventures of Conway Costigan and the Triplanetary Service of Earth, in their battles against mysterious pirates and implacable alien foes from distant suns.

This pacey adventure never lets up and is sure to entertain fans of early comics and pulp science-fiction.
