Writer and adventurer Leslie Anthony has spent his life on two planks, racing down hills, searching for the next perfect ride.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 780
Book Description
Complementing Science-Fiction: The Early Years, which surveys science-fiction published in book form from its beginnings through 1930, the present volume covers all the science-fiction printed in the genre magazines--Amazing, Astounding, and Wonder, along with offshoots and minor magazines--from 1926 through 1936. This is the first time this historically important literary phenomenon, which stands behind the enormous modern development of science-fiction, has been studied thoroughly and accurately. The heart of the book is a series of descriptions of all 1,835 stories published during this period, plus bibliographic information. Supplementing this are many useful features: detailed histories of each of the magazines, an issue by issue roster of contents, a technical analysis of the art work, brief authors' biographies, poetry and letter indexes, a theme and motif index of approximately 30,0000 entries, and general indexes. Science-Fiction: The Gernsback Years is not only indispensable for reference librarians, collectors, readers, and scholars interested in science-fiction, it is also of importance to the study of popular culture during the Great Depression in the United States. Most of its data, which are largely based on rare and almost unobtainable sources, are not available elsewhere.

Continuing on home, Jim glanced at, the supposed alien, and questioned, So, what planet are you from? I am forever grateful for your assistance, kind sir. My name is Ab, and I m from the planet, Mystera, which is, on the other side of the galaxy. Jim stated with a smirk, Our Milky Way Galaxy is so vast, which means, it should have taken you years to get here, traveling at the speed of light. Not really, answered Ab, You see, my people have a way to fold space, making the distance shorter.
