Empezó en la Tierra... el científico Richard Seaton descubrió el secreto de la máxima energía... la llave para los viajes interplanetarios. El maquiavélico Duquesne, respaldado por una gran empresa industrial, trató de asesinarle para adueñarse del descubrimiento y.... todo terminó en el espacio... Seaton, Duquesne y otros tres, entre ellos dos mujeres, se perdieron en el espacio infinito a incontables años luz de la Tierra... ¡con solo una posibilidad entre un millón de retornar a ellas! Great early Space Opera by one of the genre's best writers of the first half of the 20th century. It's no wonder Frederick Pohl gave Smith such high praise. E.E. Doc Smith was one of the better writers published in the SciFi pulp magazines. He really knew how to tell an adventure story. This was one of his early works and he only got better with the Lensmen books. It comes across a bit dated but it was written almost a 100 years ago. Full of fun and danger. Er, no. I can stand some amount of clichés, but this is driving things too far. The story is completely unlikely and impossible, without anything in the characters that makes up for it. Too dated for comfort, full-packed with all the commonplaces the genre can provide, this was no fun at all, nor did it convey any insights into the human condition (or even space travel for that matter). I can hardly remember having read anything in this realm that contained so many platitudes in so short a novel. A disappointment on all levels. Avoid... geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
