Title: Crashing Suns

Year: 1965
Type: novella
Series: Interstellar Patrol
Series number: #1
“A two-part tale of a hundred thousand year in the future – when our universe is threatened with destruction”–TOC of part 1
“They had their fire-disks trained upon the engineer.”–Part 1
“Two-part story of a hundred thousand year in the future – our universe is threatened with fiery destruction”–TOC of part 2
“They whirled and struck and fell there in the great gulf between the coldly smiling stars.”–part 2
「アルトと呼ばれる赤い恒星が太陽と激突する危機を回避すべく、星間パトロール隊が調査に赴き、アルトの惑星に住む球状生物に捕縛されるも、この球状生物の途方もないが科学によって、太陽と激突するようアルトの進路が修正された事実をつきとめて脱出し、太陽系の運命をかけて球状生物と宇宙戦をまじえ、ついにアルトの進路を安全なものにかえるという、圧倒的なスケールを誇るスペース・オペラである。ハミルトンの描写がさらに洗練され、語りにスピード感がくわわったことが、本篇の完成度を高めているといえるだろう。ちょうど本篇とほぼ時期を同じくして、バック・ロジャースやスカイラークが発表されているのは、SF史上興味深いことだが、まだこの時期には冥王星が発見されていないことを思いおこせば、今昔の感がひとしお胸をうつ」 — 大瀧啓裕編 『ウィアード』 4 （青心社, 1990） p. 328-329

“For a moment he struggled frantically, then heard a hoarse cry, and wrenched his head up to see a dark shape, speeding across the plateau from the opposite edge. It was Coburn. Twisting in the remorseless grip of the two with whom he battled, he had a flashing glimpse of Coburn racing toward the machine, and then he uttered a cry of agony. From one of the hovering cones above, a shaft of the light-ray had flashed down and it struck Coburn squarely. A moment he was visible, aureoled in a hale of blinding light …”
