Il Distruttore di Stelle (Starman Come Home/The Sun Smasher)
L‘incubo ha inizio per Neil Banning quando si trova in prigione sotto l’accusa di turbare l’ordine pubblico nella cittadina di Greenville. Ma perché quest’uomo si ostina contro ogni ragionevole apparenza a cercare le proprie origini in quel luogo quando le autorità sostengono che la casa in cui è cresciuto e i suoi parenti non sono in realtà mai esistiti? E’ forse pazzo, Neil Banning? E’ quanto lui stesso comincia a temere quando nella sua cella entra l’uomo venuto dallo spazio che lo saluta come il “Valkar” di Katuum, il re in esilio di un lontano regno perduto tra le stelle, in mezzo ai milioni di rutilanti mondi che formano la galassia. Da quel momento la sua avventura ha inizio. Una avventura fantasmagorica che lo porta a sfrecciare nell’universo tra i fuochi quasi eterni degli astri per salvare il suo mondo dalla distruzione.

Il Pianeta dei Fuorilegge (Outlaw World) CF#19
Da dove proviene la banda di invasori e qual è il loro scopo? Il Sistema Solare viene metodicamente saccheggiato dalle riserve di radio, il più prezioso degli elementi, da questi predoni spaziali guidati da un genio spietato. Ma c’è chi si oppone a loro. Captain Future interviene ancora una volta in salvezza della civiltà. Mentre il Sistema Solare si sta sgretolando, Captain Future cerca di individuare il Pianeta dei Fuorilegge per sventare il più diabolico dei piani.

Book Reviews:

  • Son of WSFA Journal. 33:9-10. September 1971. (D. Halterman)
  • Gammell, Leon L., The Annotated Guide to Startling Stories, Starmont House, 1986, p. 21. “The last Captain Future novel, written by an author other than Edmond Hamilton. This one concerns the return of the Futuremen’s arch-enemy, Ul Quorn, the Magician of Mars, from his inadvertent exile in another dimension, leading an army of light-hating aliens from a world of darkness to overrun the Solar System. An interesting enough story in its own right and capably written as always by this fine author. Unfortunately, Mr. Wellman did not do his homework for this assignment and reread all the earlier novels in the series, with the result that he committed a monumental blunder in returning to life for this story President Carew [i.e. Carthew] of the System Government, who was murdered in Outlaws of the Moon by interplanetary gangsters and the Futuremen framed for the crime. Reprinted in 1966 by Popular Library in paperback.”
