OPUS#267 Pro, The

OPUS: #267
Title: The Pro
Author: Edmond Hamilton
Year: 1964
Type: short story

Almost we would omit references to the Grand Old Days of Magazine Science Fiction for fear of conjuring up images that either we or the author of this story are confined to a bath-chair and gout-stool (neither of us is; and mind your clumsy feet)- but accuracy forbids. In the Grand Old Days of Magazine Science Fiction, videlicet the otherwise non-grand 30s, then, a querulous reader wrote to one SF magazine and complained that
“Edmond Hamilton is always saving worlds … The implication was not that Mr. Hamilton collected them in a morocco album, but that his stories often dealt with their rescue from evil. Pax. He was and is not only a realist but an optimist—both attributes being manifested in this cool and competent and utterly believable story which links the Science Fiction past with its already beginning-to-be-realized-and-vindicated-present. Edmond Hamilton appears here for the first time since 1954. It is nice to have him aboard again.

Mr. Hamilton writes of himself:
“I sometimes feel like a time-traveller, for this reason: I’m 59 years old, which isn’t so old these days (it isn’t, is it, honest?) But my formative first 7 years were spent on a Ohio farm so far back in, that it must have had a time-lag of a decade. Horses reared up in buggy-shafts at sight of an automobile, and a steam-
threshing-machine was a thing which frightened me horribly.
Yet last month I flew home from London in a jet in 5 or 6 hours, and the rockets stand on the launching-pads ready to make for the moon, and only the fact that I was blessed or cursed with a science fictional imagination has prevented me from exclaiming, “Stop the world, etc. …”

I wrote my first s-f story when I was 14. It was “The Plant That Was Alive.” It was also Terrible. No one bought it. I was at that time, however, unquenchable. … I was a freshman in college and supposed to be a child prodigy, and I took that seriously and loftily ignored study and broke rules and got canned out of school
after three years. But I kept trying to write s-f, and in February, 1926, succeeded in selling the old Weird Tales.

What a thrill it was when, a month later, a science-fiction magazine appeared! A couple of years later when a second s-f magazine appeared, I decided to become a professional writer. I’m filled with retrospective admiration for a decision so costnically heroic and stupid. To make matters worse, my next 42 stories sold without a refection … only then did I start to get the bumps and learn.

But I’ve stuck to it ever since. I love to tell adventure stories and have told hundreds … but every now and then I want to write something quite different. THE PRO is one of the different ones.”

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 —

“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.”

OPUS#235 What's It Like Out There?

OPUS: #235
Title: What’s It Like Out There?
Author: Edmond Hamilton
Year: 1952
Type: novelette
Note: original title: Colonists of Mars
“When Haddon returned from the expedition and went to visit the families of his dead buddies; they all asked …”
「　（ワンダー・ストリーズ編者者のホーニグは新鮮で独創的なアイデアに重点をおく”新方針”のせいで、エドモンド・ハミルトンの傑作を逃がすはめになる。ワンダー・ストリーズ前編集者の）ラッサーの要求するリアリズムよりもさらに迫真の筆致で、過酷な火星への決死の探検を描いている。これほどの情感とリアリズムの物語はめったになかったのだが、ホーニグは独創的でないとの判断で、この作品を採用しなかった。「火星の植民者たち」は、陽気な宇宙驚異物語を特色とする＜アスタウンディング＞にはそぐはないし、＜アメージング＞に載せるには内容が悲惨すぎたが、＜ワンダー＞にとって申し分のない作品だったはずだ。ところが、原稿はハミルトンの引き出しの最下段にしまいこまれ、それから十二年後もあとにやってようやく陽の目をみる。＜スリリング・ワンダー・ストリーズ＞の一九五二年に十二月号に、「向こうはどんなところだい？」と改題のうえ発表されたこの作品は、大きな賞賛で迎えられた。」 – マイク・アシュリー著; 牧眞司訳『SF雑誌の歴史 : パルプマガジンの饗宴』（東京創元社, 2004.7） p. 109
「マインズはハミルトンの作品にふれて、こう述べている。「＜＜キャプテン・フューチャー＞＞シリーズから大きく隔たったており、別な作家の作品だとだれもが思うはずだ」。皮肉なことに、この作品は二十年近く前に同じ雑誌で没になっている。当時の編集者チャールズ・オーニグは、独創性に欠けると判断したのだ。さらに＜アメージング・ストーリーズ＞でも＜アスタウンディング・ストーリーズ＞でも陰惨だという理由で没になっている。ようやく陽の目を見たときは、宇宙の実際の恐怖を描いた、真正なリアリズムの物語だというふれこみだった」- マイク・アシュリー著 ; 牧眞司訳『SF雑誌の歴史：黄金期そして革命』（東京創元社, 2015）p. 29
“Alongside his promotion of ‘The Lovers’, Mines also urged readers to check out the December 1952 Thrilling Wonder Stories, which featured ‘What’s It Like Out There?’ by Edmond Hamilton (December 1952). Mines mentions the story in the same editorial which introduced ‘The Lovers’, where he added: ‘it is so far removed from his Captain Future stories as to convince anyone that it is the work of a different writer’ – Ashley, Mike, Transformations : the story of the science-fiction magazines from 1950 to 1970, Liverpool University Press, 2005, p. 15.

Better written than the earlier novel, but not nearly as much fun.”

This is a very well written and interesting novel indeed, though perhaps the sentimental aspects of it were a little overdone for my admittedly somewhat Philistine tastes, with many fascinating alien characters from the far-flung Galactic Confederation of allied worlds that now dominate the universe who come in reply to the stranded Earth-people’s desperate distress call, particularly Gorr Holl, the man-bear mechanic from Capella. He’s a corker. Reprinted in 1951 by Frederick Fell in hardcover, and then in paperback first in 1953 by Galaxy Science Fiction Novels, and then in 1954 by Corgi (England), and again in 1956 by Crest. “

    • Startling Stories (Canada), Vol. 20, no. 3, January 1950

Reviews:

  • Gammell, Leon L., The Annotated Guide to Startling Stories, Starmont House, 1986, p. 65. “First in a series of novelettes featuring the further exploits of Curt Newton and the Futuremen, probably better written but not quite as much fun as the original novels. In this one the Futuemen return from another galaxy, bearing with them a living survivor of the Linid, the non-human race that once ruled the Universe before the rise of mankind and its contemporaries.”

  • Review by P. Schuyler Miller (1967) in Analog Science Fiction -> Science Fact, August 1967
  • Gammell, Leon L., The Annotated Guide to Startling Stories, Starmont House, 1986, p. 24. “Probably Edmond Hamilton’s finest novel, at least in my personal estimation. Poetic, poignant, enthralling and exciting story of the hidden Valley of the Brotherhood, and how unscrupulous mercenaries from the outside world cane there to use their modern weapons to turn the tide in an ancient war between men and beasts—eagles, wolves, tigers, horses — with human intellect and understanding. In a real whale of a cliffhanger climax, author Hamilton surpasses himself in explaining the ultimate origin of the Brotherhood and how and why men and the beasts are really and literally brothers. I really have some reservations on the genetic credibility of the idea he proposes in the chapter about the Cavern of Creation, but the writing is so fine and the story is so good as to overshadow anything as comparatively unimportant as scientific plausibility. Long overdue for hardcover respectability, if only in the Science Fiction Book Club cheapo format. Reprinted in 1964 in a somewhat revised edition by Lancer paperbacks.”

OPUS#217 Star Kings, The [SK#1]

OPUS: #217
Title: The Star Kings
Author: Edmond Hamilton
Year: 1949
Type: NOVEL
Series: Star Kings
Series Number: 1
Series: Chronology of the Two Thousand Centuries and the Kingdoms of the Stars
“It’s certainly glamorous to be called a “King of the stars,” but when you get right down to it, it’s the hardest title to maintain in the universe!”
“He was a man of two Eras, summoned through the veil of Time to save the Star-Kingdoms from the pollid-skinned Aliens. He was John Gordon, New York insurance clerk and Galactic Prince, the most dangerous man in the Universe … for locked in his mind was the secret of the Great Destroyer”–TOC of Two Complete Science-Adventure

「『スター・キング』で、一九四七年九月号に掲載された。このスペース・オペラは、一九三九年五月にスタートリング・ストリーズ誌上に発表された短めの長編「火星の囚人」”The Prisoner of Mars”の中ですでに利用したシチュエーションの焼き直しであった。（中略）ハミルトンの膨大な作品群の中で、このスペースオペラ叙事詩を大量生産尾の作品だと考えたなら、それは間違いであろう。ハミルトンが同じテーマを二度も取り上げ、『スター・キング』が一九四九年にハード・カヴァーの単行本として刊行される（当時としてはきわめて稀なことだった）栄誉にあずかった事実は、著者はこのテーマに対して抱いた関心のほどを示すと同時に、この小説の質のほどをも示している。 – ジャック・サドゥール著; 鹿島茂,鈴木秀治訳『現代SFの歴史』(早川書房, 1984.12) p. 187-188
「豪華スペースオペラの登場である。すでに百万語ものスペースオペラを書いてきたハミルトンは、それを芸術の域にまで磨きあげていた。スミスやウィリアムスンの品格と奥行こそないが、この作品は超弩級の冒険潭で、バローズのスタイルに近いものだった。（中略）読者からの反応は上々だったが、この作品は、パーマ配下のサイエンス・フィクションが、彼の就任以来、一歩も進歩していないことを示していた」 – マイク・アシュリー著; 牧眞司訳『SF雑誌の歴史 : パルプマガジンの饗宴』（東京創元社, 2004.7） p. 227-228

Reviews:

  • Gardner, Thomas S., “From Fan-tods : It’s Fiction, but is it science?,” in: Fantasy Aspects, issue 2 (Nov. 1947), p. 9.
  • Gammell, Leon L., The Annotated Guide to Startling Stories, Starmont House, 1986, p. 21. “Pretty fair interplanetary novel of the far future, somewhat more philosophical in tone than most of the works of this admittedly somewhat repetitive but still remarkably imaginative and entertaining author. This is the story of the Star of Life, a unique luminary whose rays endow humans with immortality and create profound mutations in their germ plasm, engendering entirely new species of humanity in their offspring — the Second Men, immortal and brilliant, who control interstellar civilization of the future, the Third Men, colossal intellects interested solely in scientific and philosophical experimentation and research. Full of cliches and overly convenient coincidences, but still a damned good read even today. Reprinted in hardcover in 1959 by Torquil, NY, and by Crest in paperback the same year.”

1996 – Red Sun of Danger [vt Danger Planet] Retro Hugo Award, Novel (Nomination)

Book review:

  • Gammell, Leon L., The Annotated Guide to Startling Stories, Starmont House, 1986, p.18. “Even though Captain Future’s own magazine had been dropped from publication, the character proved so popular that other novels were still written about him and appeared from time to time in the pages of Startling Stories. I understand this one was written by Edmond Hamilton, the originator of the series, under this house pseudonym for some unknown reason or other. This novel is typical of its kind, the usual fast-paced wild adventures among the inhabitants of various alien worlds, with a hint of mystery in this one, and even vaguely Lovecraftian overtones with the temporary revival in the final chapter of the Kangas, those mighty beings who once ruled the Universe before the rise of man or even man’s immediate predecessors. Reprinted in 1968 in paperback by Popular Library as Danger Planet. “

Reviews:

  • Gammell, Leon L., The Annotated Guide to Startling Stories, Starmont House, 1986, p. 9. “Excellent mixture of lost race adventure and mythology. Keith Masters discovers a hitherto unexplored region at the North Pole where various prominent figures out of Norse mythology—both the malevolent giants of Jotunheim [i.e. Juntonheim] and the rugged AEsir gods of Asgard—are still alive and well, kept in a state of perpetual immortality by radiations from Muspelheim, the radioactive subterranean world directly beneath their land, from whence all life on Earth originally came. Much of the following plot concerns the escape of Loki, the Norse god of evil, in this version a brilliant but renegade AEsir scientist attempting to harness the forces of nature in order to control first Asgard and then the world, from the seemingly impregnable prison in which his fellow Asgardians have trapped him with his two horrid pets, the Fenris wolf and the Midgard serpent, terrifying monsters endowed with superior size and intelligence by their master’s scientific magic. Due to the machinations of his various allies among the Jotuns, of course, Loki does ultimately escape from his scientifically-induced imprisonment, and from then on the story’s conclusion is well-nigh inevitable. Ragnarok, Twilight of the Gods, comes, and the all-too-mortal immortals of Asgard go down to their last defeat, valiantly dragging their enemies with them into the darkness, while the subterranean world of Muspelheim disrupts into final cataclysmic destruction beneath them. Published in paperback first in 1950 as The Monsters of Jotunheim [i.e. Juntonheim] by World Distributors/Sydney Pemberton, Manchester, and then in 1973, under its original title, by Ace as part of a double novel.

  • Gallagher, Edward J., The Annotated Guide to Fantastic Adventures, Starmont House, 1985, p. 15. “A financier wants to foreclose on the property of a dead scientist’s daughter because it is rich in mineral deposits. The scientist was experimenting with speech in animals, however. and left a race horse which talks and which likes alcohol. Since it is hungover, the horse must use its power of speech to win the mortgage money in a big race.”

OPUS#158 World Without Sex

OPUS: #158
Title: World Without Sex
Author: Robert O. Wentworth (Edmond Hamilton)
Year: 1940
Type: short story
“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; and 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 an 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 which 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.”

    Review:

    • Gammell, Leon L., The Annotated Guide to Startling Stories, Starmont House, 1986, p. 6. “Typical rip-roaring Hamilton space opera. Nothing exceptional, but a rattling good yarn of three adventurers of the spaceways—an Earthling, a Martian and a Venusian–who join forces to combat the malevolent machinations of the evil League of the Cold Worlds to dominate the entire Solar System, including an heroic journey to the radioactive world of Erebus, outermost outpost of Sol’s family. This was possibly the prototype novel for the later Captain Future novels that started in their own magazine, a companion to both Startling Stories and Thrilling Wonder Stories, in Spring of 1940. “

    • Gammell, Leon L., The Annotated Guide to Startling Stories, Starmont House, 1986, p. 4. “Interplanetary Prisoner of Zenda-type pastiche, by the late grand old master of the space opera, largely forgotten and neglected nowadays. Though born of an Earthly mother, Philip Crain discovers that his father was the advance guard of a Martian invasion force, accidentally marooned on Earth for his entire lifetime, and his look-alike cousin is the ruler of Mars. Accidentally transported to Mars via matter-transmitter, he becomes quickly involved in the political intrigue, swashbuckling action and eventual exchange of identities that is the usual hallmark of this kind of story, but Hamilton’s novel is fast-paced and exciting, and should make good reading even today, interspersed with interesting characters to liven up the plot, among whom are a diabolical mechanical brain manipulating the inhabitants of two worlds for its own obscure purposes and a giant robot servant, almost human in its faithfulness and loyalty, perhaps a foreshadowing of the irrepressible Grag of the Captain Future series. At the end of the story, Hamilton offers an ingenious solution for resolving the difficulties of the two warring planets, which stem largely from the Red World’s desperate need for water for her dead and desiccated oceans, very simply accomplished by transporting the terrestrial polar ice-caps to Mars through the matter-transmitters that were to provide passage originally for her invading armies. Who knows? Perhaps this will be the very method used in terraforming Mars to make it livable for our first colonies in the not-so-distant future, even as Hamilton’s storybook space-suits were the prototype for the ones used by today’s astronauts! “
