To Austin Stanton, Esq.
Who believes that the things I write about should be accomplished right away;
Who believes that all men are potential geniuses;
Who gives responsibility and opportunity to men while they are young;
And thereby does his bit to make actual the things I only write about.
Murray Leinster
WORLDS AND WORLDS
Eons from now, MAN will hurtle through the void in gravity-defying ships across light-years of distance to far-flung planets ... and more staggering yet, he will COLONIZE these islands in the unimaginably vast ocean of space. There will be worlds, and worlds, such as—
LANI III—a glacier-land warmed by man
XOSA II—a shining desert made green by man
LOREN II—an inferno of beasts, tamed by man
THE FASCINATING, HEROIC STORY OF A TRAIL-BLAZER TO THE UNKNOWN—outer-space service officer Bordman, who uses incredible knowledge and skill to make the star-flung outposts of civilization ready to receive new, vast surges of humanity!
