Richard Seaton and his friends take the Skylark to the stars once more, in the galaxy-spanning cruise that ushered in universal civilization, the long-clamored-for sequel to 'The Skylark of Space.'

E.E. Smith's 1930 novel is a landmark hard-SF space opera, cornerstone of the whole space-adventure tradition. Vast, thrilling, gloriously inventive. Read it for Doc Smith at full throttle, super-science, alien allies and enemies, and cosmic-scale battles that defined the genre.
