MASTERS OF SPACE - By EDWARD E. SMITH & E. EVERETT EVANS
In a galaxy once ruled by an unchallengeable order of Masters, the iron grip has shattered and a new, youthful race now scrambles to claim the vacuum. Their hopes hinge on a whispered promise that the ancient Masters will return, but an even older and darker foe lurks beyond the known stars. The opening tensions between scientists, commanders, and restless pilots set the stage for a high‑stakes quest to prove the newcomers can survive where the old powers fell.
Aboard the star‑ship Perseus, a sharp‑tongued analyst, a seasoned but stubborn captain, and a brilliant planetographer clash over protocol, ambition, and the right way to face the unknown. Their uneasy partnership is tested when an unexpected alarm forces the vessel into an unscripted jump, leaving the crew to wrestle with autonomous systems and their own doubts. As the ship lights away from familiar space, listeners are drawn into a tightly wound mix of politics, personality, and the looming mystery of the ancient Enemy that may soon awaken.
