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#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

“How many men have had to suffer, in the past, for their belief in things too fantastic for those not gifted with their powers of imagination, which were regards as evil and often rewarded with death! 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.”

OPUS: #033
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.”

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 …”
