| Description: | When a group of astronomers calculate a star is on a course to slam into Earth, a few days before, its accompanying planet will first pass close enough to the Earth to cause havoc on land and sea. They set about building a rocket so a few selected individuals can escape to the planet. Their greatest threat, they soon discover, comes not from the skies but from other humans.
Illustrations by Joseph Franké included in the initial Blue Book Magazine six-part series (September 1932-February 1933) have also been included. [Suggest a different description.] |
