Beyond the Moon, Special Footnoted Edition

by Edmond Hamilton

Armchair fiction presents the best in classic science fiction novels. “Beyond the Moon,” written by Edmond Hamilton, is an all-time great sci-fi classic. However, in its initial publication in "Amazing Stories" back in 1947 (under the title, "The Star Kings") there were many pages of footnotes written by editor, Raymond A. Palmer. Those footnotes, which are missing from almost all subsequent e-book, paperback, and hardback editions, are included (along with a nifty cast of characters) in this Special Kindle edition. Young, restless, and dissatisfied with his ever monotonous insurance job, John Gordon discovered a way of traveling through time! And when he arrived in the strange world of tomorrow, Gordon found himself in the middle of a titanic interplanetary war—and he was the one man in the universe who held the key to final victory… His adventures on other planets, his strange love affair with the beautiful Lianna, and his single-handed battle against the invading legions of the “Dark Worlds” all add up to an exciting adventure classic by one of the science fiction genre’s most beloved authors, Edmond Hamilton.

About the author

Edmond Moore Hamilton was a popular author of science fiction stories and novels throughout the mid-twentieth century. Born in Youngstown, Ohio, he was raised there and in nearby New Castle, Pennsylvania. Something of a child prodigy, he graduated high school and started college (Westminster College, New Wilmington, Pennsylvania) at the age of 14--but washed out at 17. He was the Golden Age writer who worked on Batman, the Legion of Super-Heroes, and many sci-fi books.
