A routine rocket patrol near Earth meets something it cannot explain, and the scientists Arcot, Morey and Wade are drawn into a war on a galactic scale. Their ship carries them a quarter of a million light years, among a race of canine people and onto worlds such as Ortol and Talso, as they build ever larger weapons against an unknown enemy.
Full-throttle super-science from the young Campbell, years before he became the editor who shaped science fiction’s golden age. Download the free EPUB.
