Doomstar (Belmont 1969)

Doomstar
New Yokr : Belmont Books, 1969. –
158 p. ; 18 cm. – (Belmont Science Fiction ; B50-857) ISBN: 0-505-51336-6
LCCN: 71-86430
“One man against the universe – One man with a device that could change a sun from a life source to the ultimate death-dealing weapon” — Cover
The sun shone brightly on this fateful morning, bringing to its planets warmth and life-giving rays. The brightness increased sharply as the morning grew older. The glare was blinding; the radiation not life-giving, but deadly. By mid-afternoon the brilliant, intense sun shone on barren space. It had blasted each of its four planets out of existence.
Someone had found a way to poison a star.
And someone had to be found who could prevent the takeover – or destruction – of the entire universe. Who? Johnny Kettrick, as improbable a hero there never was. Johnny Kettrick who was banned from the Cluster World for his not-too-honest dealings was sent back there with his three equally unholy partners to search out the Doomstar…to find the Doomstar before it burned out another world.

Ombre sulle stelle (Doomstar)

Ombre sulle stelle (Doomstar)
Editor: Corridore A., Malaguti U.
Elara, 2011, 294 p. – (collana Libra Fantastica ; 001), euro 13,50
ISBN: 8864990283
ISBN-13: 9788864990286
Ombre sulle stelle, è l’opera più matura e introspettiva di Edmond Hamilton, uno degli scrittori di Fantascienza classica: l’opera unisce alla suggestione dei maestosi paesaggi planetari e della libertà degli spazi sconfinati, una profonda comprensione dell’interiorità umana. Una vena malinconica e autobiografica percorre tutto il romanzo, rendendolo il vero e proprio testamento morale di un autore che, maestro dell’avventura spaziale classica, apre con questo lavoro la stagione della space opera moderna.
Il protagonista John Kettrick, dopo un lungo esilio, ritorna alla sua terra, la costellazione delle Iadi, dove è chiamato a risolvere il mistero della Stella della Morte. Durante la sua ricerca John Kettrick rivedrà i luoghi più importanti della sua vita, quei pianeti dagli scenari alieni e bizzarri, incontrerà i suoi vecchi amici, gli avversari irriducibili e la donna un tempo amata e da tempo perduta. Dovrà affrontare un nemico peggiore di tutti gli altri; l’ombra desolata e meschina che un potere come quello che avvelena le stelle riesce a gettare nel cuore degli uomini.

Эдмонд Гамильтон по праву считается отцом ‘космической оперы’, а за вселенский размах фантазии его называли ‘Спасителем Вселенных’. Герои Гамильтона не соглашаются на меньшее – только спасение галактики, созвездия, на худой конец планеты. В этот том включены пять классических романов Эдмонда Гамильтона, вошедших в сокровищницу мировой фантастики.
