Review
First off, the guy wakes up in outer space, abducted, and he’s okay with it. Seriously? The book doesn’t have anything really objectionable, it’s just a simple early space opera. But the writing is simple. It’s about what you would expect in a book for kids. Maybe about 10 years old. The characters are pretty cardboard and stereotyped. Not really what today’s readers would want, even as teenagers. It’s not terrible to read and kind of fun if you understand where magazine SF was at in 1928. I think this is only of historical interest.
