First publication: Thrilling Wonder Stories August 1937

Review

The first of the Anton York series, later assembled into a novel, this is fairly typical of the 1930s. The writing and characterization are very stiff, the dialog is unnatural. The science is also fairly ridiculous. Not a very good story.
