About this listen

 Here are three more stories from the pioneers of the early days of pulp science fiction in this final volume of the Galaxy Trilogy series.

In "Across Time", unidentified flying objects are closing in fast, but Captain Zachary Halleck doesn't finalize his move to protect the secret Air Force research station. Why?

In "Mission to a Star", human-like aliens land on Earth and claim that they come in peace, asking only for complete freedom and Earth's friendship, trust, and understanding for as long as they choose to remain.

In "The Rim of Space", from the first book of the Rim World series, the Rim Runners explore desolate planets inhabited by intelligent amphibians, tea-loving lizards, humanoids, and a preindustrial civilization.

Critic reviews

"As Asimov chronicled the Foundation, as Heinlein built his Future History, so Chandler constructs the epic of the Rim Worlds." (Analog Science Fiction)
All stars
Most relevant  
This Volume 4 is the best of the Galaxy Trilogy series. The other three all have at least one novel that is a bit substandard in one way or another, but in this collection the standard in uniformly high. Not that these stories are masterpieces but they are all good. The ”Grinnell” story is one of Wollheims best and the Long novel is likewise one of Longs better efforts. Chandler is usually good, and this early Rimworld story is up to his normal standard, allthough the adventures are perhaps not as extravagant as in his later Grimes books. The reading is also good, Recommended.

Three good old SF novels
