A million light-years away from Earth, one solitary experimental spaceship floated amidst a vast fleet of strange starships. It was Aarn Munro's Sunbeam which, utilizing a revolutionary new concept in space mechanics, worked out by its nearly superman inventor, had hurtled out into the unmapped void beyond astronomy's most advanced charts.

A sky pirate armed with superior weapons of his own invention... First contact with an alien race dangerous enough to threaten the safety of two planets... The arrival of an unseen dark sun whose attendant marauders aimed at the very end of civilization in the Solar System... These were the three challenges that tested the skill and minds of the brilliant team of scientist-astronauts Arcot, Wade, and Morey.

As Earth's faster-than-light spaceship hung in the void between galaxies, Arcot, Wade, Morey and Fuller could see below them, like a vast shining horizon, the mass of stars that formed their own island universe. Morey worked a moment with his slide rule, then said, "We made good time! Twenty-nine light years in ten seconds! Yet you had it at only half power…."Arcot pushed the control lever all the way to full power. The ship filled with the st...

What will the final evolution be, and will we recognize it when it arrives? A thought provoking story on the ultimate destination of all life.

The star Mira was unpredictably variable. Sometimes it was blazing, brilliant and hot. Other times it was oddly dim, cool, shedding little warmth on its many planets. Gresth Gkae, leader of the Mirans, was seeking a better star, one to which his "people" could migrate. That star had to be steady, reliable, with a good planetary system. And in his astronomical searching, he found Sol.

The famous scientific trio of Arcot, Wade and Morey, challenged by the most ruthless aliens in all the universes, blasted off on an intergalactic search for defenses against the invaders of Earth and all her allies. World after world was visited, secret after secret unleashed, and turned to mighty weapons of intense force-and still the Thessian enemy seemed to grow in power and ferocity. Mighty battles between huge space armadas were but skirm...

INVADERS FROM THE INFINITEThe alien spaceship was unthinkably huge, enormously powerful, apparently irresistible. It came from the void and settled on Earth, striking awe into the hearts of all who saw it. Its burden, however, was not conquest -- but a call for help!First contact was a job for the brilliant team of scientists, Arcot, Wade, and Morey, explorers of the Islands of Space. And what they learned was an offer of an alliance against a...

Arcot, Wade, Morey, and their computer, Fuller, put together a ship which will travel faster than light . . . they give us what may have been the first space-warp drive.

They locate the fugitive planets of the Black Star . . . find a frozen cemetery-world of a lost race . . . then head out for ano...

I am the last of my type existing today in all the Solar System. I, too, am the last existing who, in memory, sees the struggle for this System, and in memory I am still close to the Center of Rulers, for mine was the ruling type then. But I will pass soon, and with me will pass the last of my kind, a poor inefficient type, but yet the creators of those who are now, and will be, long after I pass forever.So I am setting down my record on the m...
