About this book

The Skylark of Space is a founding classic of the space-opera tradition, written by E. E. Smith and first published in 1928. When the brilliant chemist Richard Seaton stumbles on a strange metal that can unlock almost limitless power, he builds a spaceship, the Skylark, and is soon racing his unscrupulous rival across the galaxy at unimaginable speeds. Their chase leads to distant solar systems, alien civilisations, and battles on a scale no earlier writer had attempted. Crude and breathless by later standards, the book thrilled a generation of readers and opened up interstellar adventure as a whole new field for science fiction.
