Die Sterne rufen
John Gordon, leitender Angestellter einer New Yorker Versicherungsgesellschaft, ist schon einmal dem Ruf der Sterne gefolgt. Er erklärte sich zu einem Seelentausch bereit, der ihn in das Jahr 200 000 versetzte. In einem fremden Körper griff er entscheidend in das galaktische Geschehen ein.
Diesmal ergeht der Ruf an Gordon, für immer in die Zukunft zu kommen, die von unheimlichen Invasoren aus den Tiefen des Alls bedroht wird.
Ohne zu zögern, bricht Gordon in seine neue, selbstgewählte Sternenheimat auf. Er läßt die Welt des 20. Jahrhunderts gern zurück, denn in ferner Zukunft erwartet ihn die schöne Lianna, die Herrscherin von Fomalhaut.
Nach HERRSCHER IM WELTENRAUM (TERRATASCHENBUCH 221) legt der Autor hier die neuesten Abenteuer des Terraners John Gordon vor, des Mannes, der in die Zukunft geht, um das Schicksal der Menschheit zu bestimmen.

OPUS#275 Horror from the Magellanic, The [SK#2-4]

OPUS: #275
Title: The Horror from the Magellanic
Author: Edmond Hamilton
Year: 1969
Type: novelette
Series: Star Kings
Series Number: 2
Note: This story became part of the fix-up novel Return to the Stars (1969).

When Edmond Hamilton’s THE STAR KINGS first appeared in these pages, more than twenty years ago (in the September, 1947 issue of AMAZING STORIES, to be exact), it was heralded by a stunning Malcolm Smith cover that only hinted of the novel’s impact upon its readers. Frederick Fell, Inc. published the book in hard covers in 1949 — a pioneer venture — and Signet Books brought it out in paperback form in 1950 as BEYOND THE MOON. (That rather pedestrian job of retitling said a good deal about the state of science fiction in the paperbacks in 1950.) It went through several printings before Signet apparently lost interest in the book and let it lapse.

But the fans did not forget. Nor did Cele Goldsmith, when she became editor of this magazine. And in September, 1964 — seventeen years later to the month — Hamilton returned with KINGDOMS OF THE STARS the first of a projected series of sequels to THE STAR KINGS. Since then two more of the novelettes have been published: THE SHORES OF INFINITY (April, 1965) and THE BROKEN STARS (FANTASTIC, December, 1968).

With great pleasure we now present the fourth new novelette of the Star Kings and the epic adventurer, John Gordon —

OPUS#273 Broken Stars, The [SK#2-3]

OPUS: #273
Title: The Broken Stars
Author: Edmond Hamilton
Year: 1968
Type: novelette
Series: Star Kings
Series Number: 2
Note: This story became part of the fix-up novel Return to the Stars (1969).
“Edmond Hamilton needs no introduction from the likes of me … or, for that matter, from the likes of any of us. He is the author of some of the best space opera ever written (the majority of the CAPTAIN FUTURE series in the old Thrilling Wonder) and some of the most sensitive, provocative modern science fiction (WHAT’S IT LIKE OUT THERE?) He is writing better now than he ever did and THE BROKEN STARS is Hamilton combining the two sides of his writing at the top of his form. This is a story which will not be forgotten.”
