by Richard M. Elam, Jr.
Illustrated by Charles H. Geer

The introduction by Captain Burr Leyson sets the pace for this exciting book of stories dealing with the newest theories of inter-planetary communication and the scientific advances that might make possible some of the adventures here described.

The author of these stories, Richard M. Elam, Jr. has been interested in science fiction since he was a boy and, although he has written hundreds of stories and articles, those included in this volume have never before appeared in book form. The author builds his science stories around a framework of established scientific fact and likely possibilities. In that way, the reader is stimulated beyond the limits of his scientific education by the thrilling entertainment of this exciting volume and is encouraged to probe further the mystery of the universe in his studies, experiments and imagination.

While some of these stories, such as, “What Time Is It,” are pure fantasy, most of them are based on actual scientific possibilities.
