Gardner F. Fox 1 hr 12 min read

A spaceship flees like a silver bullet across black nothingness toward the great star Deneb and the planets caught in its grip, a constellation utterly foreign to those the voyagers left behind.

Gardner F. Fox's 1947 story is a rousing post-apocalyptic space opera of a quest among the stars. Vivid, driven golden-age pulp. Read it for a colorful far-flung adventure by a prolific pulp and comics master, where a fateful voyage carries its heroes toward the legendary Sword of the Seven Suns.
