Interstellar Patrol officers argue over their wildest adventure, a space-fight with serpent-people, a dark nebula, or the time they went inside a comet.

Edmond Hamilton's 1934 story, part of his beloved Interstellar Patrol series, frames a grand space-opera tale around Captain Dur Nal and his crew's most incredible exploit. Vast-scale, headlong golden-age adventure from a master of cosmic action. Read it for full-throttle 1930s space opera from the man who wrecked worlds for a living.
