Islands of Space
“John Campbell’s book was written as a sequel to The Black Star Passes... and believe me, it was a world-beater in those days.
“Arcot, Wade, Morey, and their computer, Fuller, put together a ship which will travel faster than light... they give us what may have been the first space-warp drive. The concept was simple; to make it plausible wasn’t—unless you were John Campbell.
“With this out-of-space drive they hightail it among the stars. They locate the fugitive planets of the Black Star... find a frozen cemetery-world of a lost race... then head out for another galaxy... and wind up in a knock-down-drag-out interplanetary war in the other galaxy.”
—P. Schuyler Miller, Astounding Science Fiction
