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.

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.”

    “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

    “Birk sprang back with upraised bar against the Master. The blue beam flashed. It struck Birk squarely.”
    “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.”

    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.”

    “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.”

    “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.”

    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.”

    “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
