“How would you like to live forever? Or have at least a part of you live forever? Naturally, the world would be lucky to have you around so long, you being so loaded with smarts, and all. But maybe everyone would come to depend too much on your venerable and constant support. Would it be a blessing or a curse? Can there be too much of a good thing? Read on.”–Fantastic, Vol. 27, no. 5

Year: 1935
Type: short story
“In our March, 1935 issue we published a short story by this favorite author, entitled “The Eternal Cycle.” This tale received much higher acclaim than many of our novels and has been accepted by our readers as a short science-fiction classic.
We do not hesitate to say that you will find the present yarn of at least equal merit to “The Eternal Cycle.” It also presents some brand-new conceptions never before hinted at in science-fiction. And we all know how rare stories like that are.
Though Edmond Hamilton goes, at times (as he does in this story), into the very heights of fantasy, his work at no time becomes illogical or unconvincing. He makes you believe what he is telling you. tearing down all the barriers of conventions and routine, but always making things real and lifelike.
A few minutes from now you will be entering upon a new train of thought, inspiring, enthralling, fantastic.”

Author: Edmond Hamilton
Year: 1935
Type: short story
We are almost sorry that author Hamilton did not write this story into a novelette, because the tremendous idea behind it could well support a much longer story.
In this story is propounded a theory so fantastic that you have never heard anything to equal it – but, at the same time, it is not only very logical, but easily understandable. These three qualities are seldom mixed to such a masterful balance as they are in this short story.
Here, indeed, is an excellent example of the type of story we are looking for under our revolutionary policy – so original and utterly different that it will live in your memory much longer than others thirty times its length.

Title: The Truth Gas
Author: Edmond Hamilton
Year: 1935
Type: short story
“Honesty is the best policy.”
That is a sentence which everyone is familiar with. Little children are taught it by their parents and it is strongly advocated in every school and college. Among other things, it means that we should never tell a falsehood.
Then there are such words as “tact” and “discretion.” They signify what is fit, proper, and prudently wise. The question is, can you always tell the truth and be tactful and discreet at the same time?
This little tale draws a parallel to the author’s “The Man With X-Ray Eyes,” which we printed over a year ago, and will prove just as intriguing and original, though the development of the present story will amuse you.
Edmond Hamilton is one of the old stand-bys of science-fiction and is well up to standard here.

Year: 1935
Type: short story
Perhaps the most interesting of the sciences is biology, the study of living things, and genetics, the branch concerning genes and chromosomes, may be called the most fascinating side-line.
We know that all the characteristics of a living thing are transmitted during conception to the offspring. The shape of the nose, the color of the hair, the length of the arms – uncoutable thousands of regulations are governed by the nature of the microscopic genes.
If you do not know much about this subject, Mr. Hamilton’s latest story, which is now before you, will further acquaint you with one of the greatest mysteries of science, will make chills run through you when you contemplate what terrible things can happen when the tiny genes are defected.

“A tale of twenty thousand years in the future – a loveless world in which the Males and the Females are engaged in a war of extermination against each other”
“Many a person has spoken in jest of the war between the sexes. Thurber has produced some of his funniest cartoons on that subject: the inability of the male to comprehend the female and vice versa. Nobody can fail to notice the means by which each sex plots to ensnare the other; an intrigue which extends throughout every medium – dress, drama, conduct, arts, etc. There have been cultures in various places – semi-primitives in isolated lands still testify – where there exists and actual hostility between the sexes, where for instance women maintain secret codes and languages, live separately from the community of men. To this day, modern American males maintain lodges from
whose portals women are barred and whose affairs are conducted with codes and ceremonies no woman may hope to learn. There is therefore nothing at all impossible about Edmond Hamilton’s startling story of a period twenty thousand years from now. Nothing impossible, we repeat, but we certainly hope that it will always remain at least
improbable.” – Avon
“Love was treason in that astounding future – for women and men had divided into nations of their own – and they were at war! The maidenly charms, the manly virtues – they were but weapons to snare and slay the ones they attracted!” – Avon back cover

Perhaps the facts propounded in the present story are all too true … we know that some of them are. Perhaps it is well that the truth about many matters is kept from the public mind …. while the knowledge of others would definitely aid civilization.
If someone offered you the power of seeing everything – through walls – would you accept? We’ll wager you would. And David Winn accepted. He wanted to see all there was to see. He wanted the world revealed to his eyes. No real harm can come from merely using the sense of sight, you say. But read the story and you may change your opinion.

Reason, we hope, is being made more and more the guide for our actions. What must this tendency ultimately lead to? Will emotion be stamped out of our lives entirely, and the race become merely adding machines? Mr. Hamilton carries us into the future to visualize an intermediate era, when emotion is despised but not yet stamped out. His story of that time is not only amusing and interesting, but instructive of the changes that the race must pass through to escape from our emotion-ridden ancestors to a new day when we shall be all intellectual giants.

“Edmond Hamilotn is the master of exciting stories that carry the reader breathlessly from the first word to the last without a stop. This story is one of those can’t-story-until-you-finish kind.
Many people believe that machines are not an unmixed blessing. Even as far back as a hundred years ago, Mrs. Shelley in her “Frankenstein” showed the machine – the creation of a human brain arising to overthrow its master. Many thoughtful people today believe that that may yet happen if we are not careful. It is a monstrous thing to picture human beings as the creatures or slaves of machines; but if machines are given intelligence and power, their domination may be limitless.
Incindentally this story has an entirely unexpected as well as surprising ending that we doubt enyone will guess beforehand. Those ironical twists at the ends of his stories are part of Mr. Hamilton’s great popularity.”

A few centries ago, far-seeing prophets like Roger Bacon dreamed of to-day’s wonders, and their predictions were condemned as supernatural visions instead of being recognised as inspired glimpses of the future. The versatile Mr. Hamilton gives us a novel little story in this vein.”
“He witnessed the wonders of a time that would not come for centuries … and such things were the Devil’s work”–TOC of Tale of Wonder
“He told of an age of a thousand marvels that had yet to be … and they burned him as a sorcerer.”–Tales of Wonder

Title: World Atavism
Author: Edmond Hamilton
Year: 1930
Type: novelette
Note: Amazing Stories, August 1930, illustrated by Frank R. Paul.
“The Sun’s rays have been credited with many beneficial powers. It is a universally conceded fact that the sun is necessary to good health; not only because of its warmth-giving rays, but also because of some other element, directly a health-giving factor, which has since been more or less successfully duplicated in the laboratory – in the form of Alpine lamps and what not. It is also said, however, that there are certain properties in the rays of the sun which might be used as life^giving rays. As far as we know, nothing definite has been established on this score yet. Who knows what other helpful possibilities are hidden in the various ether vibrations produced by the sun? Edmond Hamilton has a brand new idea, which he elaborates and weaves into a fascinating story of scientific fiction Certainly it seems to us to be of absorbing interest.”

Author: Edmond Hamilton
Year: 1930
Type: novelette
Series: Charlie Carton
Series number: #2
“Are you a detective? Have you a talent for deduction? Then see if you can name the murderer in this story.”
“In “The Invisible Master,” Edmond Hamilton created one of the finest detective stories of the year. But he has surpassed himself in the present tale of a sinister murder. Science, a simple yet baffling plot, rapid action and clever deduction are all combined to make a story which will keep you excited and mystified until the very end of the last chapter.
We read of the scientific discoveries and technic that Edmond Hamilton describes, we see a accounts of these things in the papers every day. Yet the potential dangers to civilized society are disregarded and we have no means of knowing haw many scientific criminals escape the meshes of the police nets. The events Mr. Hamilton describes my have happened – may be happening now – may happen tomorrow. Only the cleverest detective, well versed in modern science, can cope with the educated, and scientific, menace to society.”

Series: Charlie Carton
Series number: #1
“A thousand alarms are pouring into Police Headquarters! The Invisible Master broods over the city! Who is He? We defy the reader to guess the secret. Even the editorial staff was astounded at the conclusion of this scientific yarn.”
“If you were to ask us which, in our opinion, is the greatest scientific detective story of the year, we certainly would pronounce the present story to be that unusual gem.
Here is a story that will keep you fascinated, not only in connection with its excellence of science, understandable by everyone, but by the fast-moving action for which this well-known author is famous.
Invisibility in this sort of story is perhaps not a new idea; but we venture to say that no one can foretell the O. Henry-like ending, which is as unexpected as it is dramatic.”

Title: The Other Side of the Moon
Author: Edmond Hamilton
Year: 1929
Type: novel
Astronomers seem to be pretty well agreed that the moon is uninhabitable. But even the Lick Observatory telescope, which is the most powerful one of its kind, has naturally enough been able to see only the one side of the moon – the side that is turned to the earth. Only a trip to the moon and around it would disclose what there is on the other side.
Mr. Hamilton can be depended on to furnish an altogether novel way of reaching the moon and makes it seem so logical it seems a wonder some such method hasn’t been devised a long time ago.
“The Other Side of the Moon” raises several other interesting questions, among them being, “Who were the first inhabitants of the earth?” So many “obviously” impossible dreams have recently become real achievements, that we an almost begin to read less skeptically about cosmic travel – particularly when it is offered in as plausible a manner as it is in this story.

Series Number: 2
“A dread menace from outside the universe threatens to drag the solar shystem to destruction in the cold of outer space”–TOC
“The vast globe stretched from horizon to horizon beneath them.”
“Nowadays, the seasoned reader of science-fiction has come to take his stories of interplanetary travel with an almost blase air, an attitude of ” I-have-been-here-before,” noting only the funny character or the new technical twist introduced into the yarn, seeing nothing of the essential eerieness and multifaceted complexity of space and its worlds. Therefore it is something of an experience to encounter again Edmond Hamilton’s famous stories of the Federation of Stars, with their hints of multiple worlds and myriads of oddly shaped yet allied inhabitants . . Written some twenty years ago, when science fiction had not yet strait jacketed itself with a routine set of backgrounds and accepted pseudo-scientific spaceship fixtures, Hamilton’s Interstellar Patrol stories have a coloring and aura of fantasy about them now almost entirely lost in modern space-flight tales. Though “literatteurs” could find fault with the plots and characterizations of these stories from science-fiction’s pioneering days, the wonder and awe of the infinite stellar universe seems actually enhanced by Hamilton’s fast-moving style.” – Avon Fantasy Reader, No. 6

Dr. Whitley and Professor Allan try to save the Earth from destruction, but are captured by the bat-winged men from Mars who live in the crater of the extinct volcano, and are carried to their city in the bowels of the Earth. There they learn the details of the Martians’ scheme from Dr. Holland, who has been captured years before. The captives plan to escape from their guards (strange, mechanically constructed creatures created by the bat-winged Martians), in a desperate attempt to save the Earth. If they fail – and the chances are a million to one against them – in a few days the atmosphere of Mars will touch that of Earth, and the world will be overrun by Martians flying from their planet to Earth, armed with a crumbling ray to destroy humanity.”-part 3
