Edmond Hamilton 2 hr 55 min read

A record of the narrator's contacts with the Raider, an unseen menace out of time who enters and darkens the lives of ordinary people, and the scientist who fought to stop him.

Edmond Hamilton's 1927 story is a rousing space-opera and time-travel adventure. Vivid, driven golden-age pulp. Read it for an early Hamilton time-menace yarn where a sinister force reaches out of the ages to prey on the present, and science and courage rise to meet it, in the breathless, imaginative style of the founding pulp era.
