Astounding Stories of Super-Science

Description

How far back would you have to go to reach a point where our civilization today would seem like an impossible dream? When the Astounding Stories series was started in the early 20th century, that time may have been close. Nevertheless, the fascination, drive and imagination of some of the science fiction authors who have contributed to this well-chosen set of stories is quite timeless and impressive, no matter what century you’re from.

Astounding Stories of Super-Science is a collection of stories based on the science of the time, and mainly focusing on biological and chemical science experiments, obscure genetic developments, or complex electrical manifestations the likes of which even the greatest inventors of the early 20th century could scarcely have dreamed of.

The collection contains a number of enjoyable and quite unique stories that readers throughout the past century have thoroughly enjoyed. You too can get through reading stories such as Slaves of the Dust by Sophie Wenzel Ellis, or Charles W. Diffin’s Pirate Planet without failing to admire the imaginative work, believable characters and exciting narrative that these tales have to offer.

The mad scientists, strange, morally questionable experiments and unlikely heroes of these stories will show you that it doesn’t take a movie or TV series with flashy special effects to enjoy the excitement of a well-written science fiction story. Even some of the younger readers might be captivated by the immersive descriptions and unique plots unfolding throughout the series.

Whether you still remember what it was like to eagerly look forward to Flash Gordon episodes, or you’re just interested in seeing the difference between science fiction “then” and “now,” Astounding Stories of Super-Science will not only entertain you, but also present you with some of the unique foresight that the science and sci-fi communities of the time would pin their hopes and dreams of the future on.
