About this book

The Star-Stealers is by Edmond Hamilton. A narrator steps into a narrow bridgeroom, and the pilot at the controls reports that Alpha Centauri is dead ahead. Dal Nara is the ship's second-officer, descended from a long line of famous interstellar pilots.

The narrator says that it was a well-nigh unheard-of thing for any star to recall one of its cruisers from the great fleet of the Federation. A description asks the reader to imagine an upright cone of black flesh, several feet in diameter and three or more in height, supported by a dozen or more smooth long tentacles. The narrator sends a ship racing down toward the condenser and its upheld cage and screams that he is going to ram the switch.
