OPUS#052 Space-Rocket Murders

OPUS: #052
Title: Space-Rocket Murders
Author: Edmond Hamilton
Year: 1932
Type: novella
“Building a ship that will successfully travel across the void and safely land on another body in our vast universe is not the only consideration that should be given the problems of interplanetary travel – when this new dream of scientists is finally realized. It might be well to give some thought to our method of approach and our plan of action, if and when we succeed in reaching another planet – if there should perchance be life and intelligence where we land. Our well-known author gives us in this new amazing story some very vital things to think about.”
