Dr. John Pollard discovers that he can speed up human evolution with a shower of cosmic rays. Naturally, you wouldn't think that he'd be as daft as to try it out on himself first, but that's exactly what he does do and in short order he morphs his way from man to superman to giant brain. Each point along the way he declares himself to have greater and greater intelligence, though he seems unable to notice that being a brain the size of an Austin Mini would put a crimp in his social life. In the end, he evolves not into some sort of being of pure energy, put a small pool of pink protoplasm because evolution, for no adequately explained reason, goes in a circle, which only goes to...

Hamilton's first story, 'The Monster-God of Mamurth,' was published in the August, 1926 issue of Weird Tales: the beginning of a 22 year relationship that would see no less than 78 Hamilton stories appear in the magazine. Although the majority of these stories were science fiction, editor Farnsworth Wright included them under the heading of 'weird scientific' stories, apparently in an attempt to combine the theme of the magazine with Hamilton's popularity. ...

Nearly a century before the racks of mass-market books were flooded with media tie-ins for franchises such as Star Trek, Star Wars, etc. (and ten years before E.E. 'Doc' Smith created the Lensmen), Edmond Hamilton pioneered and popularized the concept of a galactic peacekeeping force. Hamilton's first crack at the concept in 'Crashing Suns' has his band of heroes confined to the solar system as the 'Interplanetary Patrol.' With 'The Star Stealers,' Hamilton takes his notion of a stellar police force to the distant cosmic shores as the 'Interstellar...

ONLY THIS UNCROWNED KING COULD STOP THE ULTIMATE WEAPON! 'Poetic, moody, polished, genuinely sensitive!' says sf writer and critic James Gunn about the work of the grandmaster of space opera, Edmond Hamilton, who penned this haunting, lost classic of a man who found the stars too big a fit. When Neil Banning tries to visit his hometown, he discovers he needs a spaceship to get there. 'It can't be true! It must be some kind of hoax!'' These are the words that go spinning through Neil Banning's mind when the Greenville authorities tell him that the house he had grown up in, the aunt and uncle who had raised him, never existed. Soon Banning finds himself in jail, charged with disturbing the peace, and maybe insanity. But when a stranger from outer space visits his cell at midnight and hails...

Beasts, Men…Or Aliens? In that hidden valley, land of strangely forbidding beauty, Eric Nelson, soldier of fortune, faced a battle stranger than any he had ever encountered. He was hired to fight for humanity, against beings that seemed to be both more and less than human. The weapons of the enemy seemed to include centuries-old powers hinted at in tales of magic and superstition, but he fought on… even when helplessly trapped in the body of a savage wolf. Then came the climactic test of his allegiance, the knowledge that more than just humanity was at stake… and the final mind-shattering discovery of the alien secret that lay buried in the Cavern of...

A young astronaut has returned from an expedition tasked with collecting resources from Mars. He suffers through visits with the grieving families in order to deliver the letters of his dead comrades; always, he lies to the families about the manner of their loved ones’ deaths. Although he wishes to tell the families the grim truth — that Mars is often unheroic, senseless, gruesome, and that their loved ones died in exactly that manner — he realizes that it would be futile. The people need heroes, something to believe in. They also need the resources of Mars to provide the power for the luxuries to which they’ve become accustomed. His own homecoming in Ohio is a farce. He stands before the hopeful crowd, essentially the entire town, studying their eager faces. Although he wants to...

Standing at the controls, beside me, the silent steersman raised his hand for a moment to point forward through the pilot room's transparent wall. 'Canopus at last,' he said, and I nodded. Together, and in silence, we gazed ahead. Before and around us there stretched away the magnificent panorama of interstellar space, familiar enough to our eyes but ever new, a vast reach of deep black sky dotted thickly with the glittering hosts of stars. The blood-red of Antares, the pale green of great Sirius, the warm, golden light of Capella, they flamed in the firmament about us like spendid jewels of light. And dead ahead there shone the one orb that dwarfed and dimmed all the others, a titanic radiant white sun whose blazing circle seemed to fill the heavens before us, the mighty star of...
