Description
Nearly a century before the racks of mass-market books were flooded
with media tie-ins for franchises such as Star Trek, Star Wars, etc. (and ten
years before E.E. "Doc" Smith created the Lensmen), Edmond
Hamilton pioneered and popularized the concept of a galactic
peacekeeping force.
Hamilton's first crack at the concept in "Crashing Suns" has his band
of heroes confined to the solar system as the "Interplanetary
Patrol." With "The Star Stealers," Hamilton takes his notion of a
stellar police force to the distant cosmic shores as the "Interstellar
Patrol."
Many of these stories were reprinted in the 1960s from Ace Books as two
beautiful paperbacks: Crashing Suns
and Outside the Universe.
This volume collects ALL of the stories of the Patrol . . . plus
continues the program to collect all the prose work of Edmond Hamilton
with two unreprinted novels, "The Other Side of the Moon" and "Cities
in the Air."
The American master of modern Space Opera, Walter Jon Williams (author
of Implied Spaces, and the
three volume saga, Dread Empire's
Fall) provides the introduction.
