Description

"The Black Star Passes" by Jr. John W. Campbell is a science fiction collection first published in 1953. The book compiles three adventures featuring the team of Arcot, Morey, and Wade, stories that originally appeared in Amazing Stories magazines during science fiction's early era. These tales of space exploration and interplanetary adventure represent classic "mainline" science fiction, launching a series that would continue with Islands of Space and Invaders from the Infinite. Though critics noted the stories' dated style, they remain entertaining glimpses into the genre's formative years. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
