Hell Ship of Space by Frederic Arnold Kummer, Jr.:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
Enjoyable read that contains the first reference to the phrase 'space shuttle' that I know about. A group of pleasure-seekers leave Earth to rendezvous with a big passenger liner lying off the Moon.
(San-Ray Projector from 'Hell Ship of Space')
When the ship is taken over by escaped prisoners, how will the protagonist escape death and turn the tables (hint: the answer involves superconductivity!) Select an invention:
Conversion Gun |
Escape Port |
San-Ray Projector |
Space Shuttle |
