The Vortex Blaster
Author: E. E. "Doc" Smith
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1649742312
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Neal "Storm" Cloud failed his Lensman exam, But life has a strange way of making heroes of even those who sometimes fail. Cloud's family is tragically killed when a misguided attempt to blow out a vortex lands one of the fragments right on his house. Devastated by the loss of his family, Cloud takes a leave of absence from the Radiation Lab where he works studying the vortices. As he drives he is struck with an idea for "blowing out" a vortex. It is slightly technical (Smith explains it so it can be easily followed), but the general idea is that Cloud's brain works so fast that he can calculate exactly where the center of the vortex will be at a moment in time and how big an explosive is needed, then hit it with a bomb that is set at the exact strength to actually extinguish the vortex instead of blowing it apart and making more vortices. As it continues the book tells of Cloud's new job as the universe's one and only vortex blaster. This job takes him from planet to planet where he blows out vortices, matches wits against drug dealers and gangsters, meets new life forms, and acquires a crew for his small scout ship. His adventures are many and varied, and the lifeforms he meets are strange and interesting.

Book Description
Frederick Schiller Faust was an American author known primarily for his thoughtful and literary Westerns under the pen name Max Brand. His love for mythology was a constant source of inspiration for his fiction, and it has been speculated that these classical influences accounted in some part for his success as a popular writer. Many of his stories would later inspire films. He rivaled Edgar Wallace and Isaac Asimov as one of the most prolific authors of all time. He wrote more than 500 novels for magazines and almost as many shorter stories. His total literary output is estimated to have been between 25,000,000 and 30,000,000 words. This volume features 22 of his greatest works, including 'John Ovington Returns'; 'The Untamed'; 'Harrigan!'; 'The Ghost'; 'Hole-in-the-Wall Barrett'; 'Trailin'!'; 'Riders of the Silences'; 'Out of the Dark'; 'The Night Horseman'; 'Gunman's Reckoning '; 'Iron Dust'; 'Bull Hunter'; 'The Long, Long Trail'; 'The Seventh Man'; 'Ronicky Doone: Champion of Lost Causes'; 'Ronicky Doone and the Cosslett Treasure'; 'Ronicky Doone's Reward'; 'Black Jack'; 'Three Who Paid'; 'The Garden of Eden'; 'Alcatraz'; 'Wild Freedom'; and 'The Hair-trigger Kid'.
