One of the greatest names in science fiction is that of John W. Campbell. Famed as the editor of Astounding Science Fiction, now Analog, John W. Campbell was earlier known for his exciting, imaginative novels of super-science, which placed his name alongside such greats as Edward E. Smith and Edmond Hamilton.

THE BLACK STAR PASSES is such a book, narrating the adventures of the Earth scientists Arcot, Wade and Morey as they fight at first for the freedom of their planet and then for the safety of the entire Solar System. For cosmic scope, daring concepts, and sweeping adventure, it has never been surpassed.
