Produktbeschreibung
American author Murray Leinster wrote the science fiction book Operation: Outer Space. The novel is "a fast-paced, caustic effort that is largely a parody on the future of mass communications," according to Galaxy critic Groff Conklin. Anthony Boucher complimented the satirical aspects of the book in a similar way, although he felt that the book fell short of becoming a front-ranker due to "a small lack of actual bite and passion." Space travel and the discoveries made are the subjects of this excellently written fantasy Sci-Fi space opera adventure thriller by Murray Leinster. A planet with glaciers and volcanoes, one with enormous herds of animals that resemble cattle, and one with arid stone are all discovered.These guys travel to the moon, the only extraterrestrial planet still inhabited by humans at the beginning of this tale, in order to assist a wealthy client's insecure adult kid in achieving the notoriety he longs for from the outside world. The "Dabney" field, a galaxy-secret that helps transport these folks hundreds of light-years away for the adventure of a lifetime, is faked by this young man in order to do this.
Autorenporträt
Murray Leinster was the pen name of William Fitzgerald Jenkins, an American author of science fiction who lived from June 16, 1896, until June 8, 1975. More than 1,500 short stories, essays, 14 film scripts, hundreds of radio plays, and television plays were all written and published by him. George B. Jenkins and Mary L. Jenkins' son Leinster was born in Norfolk, Virginia. His father worked as a CPA. The 1910 Federal Census shows that the family resided in Manhattan despite the fact that both parents were born in Virginia. Leinster, whose actual name was William F. Jenkins, was also an inventor best recognized for developing the front projection technique used in special effects. He made an episode of the educational programme American Inventory in September 1953 when he talked about the potential for space flight.
