Review
A remarkable example of everything good about 1930s SF. You have a really gonzo SF idea of cosmic proportions. You have a villian to fight. You have a hero. You have a genius scientist. What you don”t have is characterization that is really crappy. It's not great mind you, just not horrible. This is one of the best examples of the early genre being developed. Recommended.
