Planet explorer (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Outer-space service officer Bordman uses incredible knowledge and skill to make the star-flung outposts of civilization ready to receive new, vast surges of humanity, as mankind prepares to colonize the galaxy. A vast tale of interplanetary exploration, as Bordman visits Lani III-a glacier-land warmed by man, Xosa II-a shining desert made green by human ingenuity, and Loren II-an inferno of beasts, tamed by human science and daring. One of the classics of 1950s science fiction, featuring an introduction by John Betancourt.

Murray Leinster is widely acknowledged by fans as the "Dean of Science Fiction" and even as "Mr. Science Fiction." LIFE has reported that he reads more technical literature than most research scientists. He is also a successful inventor in his own right.

Autor

Murray Leinster was the pen name of William Fitzgerald Jenkins, an American author of science fiction who lived from June 16, 1896, until June 8, 1975. More than 1,500 short stories, essays, 14 film scripts, hundreds of radio plays, and television plays were all written and published by him. George B. Jenkins and Mary L. Jenkins' son Leinster was born in Norfolk, Virginia. His father worked as a CPA. The 1910 Federal Census shows that the family resided in Manhattan despite the fact that both parents were born in Virginia. Leinster, whose actual name was William F. Jenkins, was also an inventor best recognized for developing the front projection technique used in special effects. He made an episode of the educational programme American Inventory in September 1953 when he talked about the potential for space flight.
