Edmond Hamilton 4 hr 36 min read

From remote, mysterious Neptune comes a menace bent on speeding the Sun's rotation to catastrophe, and only a daring band can journey two billion miles to stop the universe wreckers.

Edmond Hamilton's 1930 novel is a rousing hard-SF space opera. Vast, driven golden-age pulp. Read it for grand cosmic-scale Hamilton, an interplanetary expedition to distant Neptune to foil a plot that could destroy the solar system, in the sweeping, catastrophe-laden super-science style that made him one of the great pulp space-opera masters.
