The Solar System and the Outer Stars

Here are ten spine-tingling stories by such masters of science-fiction as Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, A.E. Van Vogt, Murray Leinster and many others. Each story transports us away from earth to far world, both in the solar system and out into the galaxy itself.

Collected by Groff Conklin, one of the best known editors in the field, every one of these tales will bring you an imaginative adventure you will long remember.

"Should be in every science-fiction fan's library. The stories in this collection contain samples of the best from top modern writers."
