novelette
By Harold Ward

History

First publication: Weird Tales, April 1923

Review

Not very well written and very sexist, with cardboard characters. The basic concept is pretty interesting and could give the framework for a whole series of interstellar adventures. But Ward doesn’t do that. He shies away from being more imaginative and reduces it to a Doc Savage style comic book mystery. Not recommended.
