About this book

This collection gathers the science fiction Noel Loomis published in the pulp magazines of the 1940s and 1950s, before he turned mainly to Western fiction. The stories carry the wide-eyed inventiveness of that era: journeys across space and time, encounters with strange technologies, and characters caught in situations that test both nerve and reason. Loomis wrote plainly and moved his plots with the practiced speed of a working pulp author, keeping the ideas front and center. Readers who enjoy the vintage American science fiction of Startling Stories and Thrilling Wonder Stories will find familiar pleasures here. Together the tales offer a snapshot of a busy commercial writer at work in a genre still finding its shape. This free PDF and EPUB edition collects the stories in one volume.
