On a stormy night, a man is drawn into the strange orbit of Jason Croft, who has learned to send his spirit across the void to a far world circling the Dog Star.

J. U. Giesy's 1918 novel is a rousing early interplanetary romance, a forerunner of Burroughs's planetary adventures. Vivid, imaginative, foundational pulp. Read it for a classic sword-and-planet saga of astral travel and derring-do on a distant world, from a pioneer of the form.
