THREE AGAINST THE STARS!
A sky pirate armed with superior weapons of his own invention...
First contact with an alien race dangerous enough to threaten the safety of two planets...
The arrival of an unseen dark sun whose attendant marauders aimed at the very end of civilization in this Solar System...
These were the three challenges that tested the skill and minds of the brilliant team of scientist-astronauts Arcot, Wade, and Morey. Their initial adventures are a classic of science fiction which first brought the name of their author, John W. Campbell, Jr., into prominence as a master of the inventive imagination -- long before he became the editor of Astounding/Analog and changed the field of science fiction forever!
Collection of three Arcot, Wade and Morley stories originally published in 1930: "Piracy Preferred", "Solarite", and "The Black Star Passes." With an introduction by Campbell.
Series: Arcot, Morey and Wade: Book 1
