OPUS#077 Cosmic Pantograph, The
Title: The Cosmic Pantograph
Author: Edmond Hamilton
Year: 1935
Type: short story
“In our March, 1935 issue we published a short story by this favorite author, entitled “The Eternal Cycle.” This tale received much higher acclaim than many of our novels and has been accepted by our readers as a short science-fiction classic.
We do not hesitate to say that you will find the present yarn of at least equal merit to “The Eternal Cycle.” It also presents some brand-new conceptions never before hinted at in science-fiction. And we all know how rare stories like that are.
Though Edmond Hamilton goes, at times (as he does in this story), into the very heights of fantasy, his work at no time becomes illogical or unconvincing. He makes you believe what he is telling you. tearing down all the barriers of conventions and routine, but always making things real and lifelike.
A few minutes from now you will be entering upon a new train of thought, inspiring, enthralling, fantastic.”
“Must man die, as Doctor Robine believers, with his own universe.”
