Space Vulture

Pocketbok.

Nära nyskick. Tor Books. 2009. 333 s. Pocket. Determined to recapture the science fiction of their youth - not as it was, but as it should have been - Gary K. Wolf, the creator of Roger Rabbit, and his best friend, John J. Myers, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Newark, New Jersey, now transport readers to the far reaches of the galaxy. There, the mere mention of the pirate known as Space Vulture strikes fear into every heart. A hardworking colonist's only hope is that the dauntless lawman, Marshal Victor Corsaire, will rocket to the rescue. Come along for the ride and discover all the adventure, suspense, wonder, and fun that Wolf and Myers first found in science fiction fifty years ago, and now share with everyone in this rollicking tale of the spaceway. "What a time machine! Space Vulture takes me back to Alex Raymond´s classic Flash Gordon comic strip and to all the other great science fiction adventures that thrilled me as a kid. The book is full of color, action, and fun. Gary Wolf and John Myers have brilliantly managed the neat trick of not only evoking a beloved genre, but actually surpassing it."---Stan Lee "Here´s the pure quill, a real slam-bang heroic space opera written by men who haven´t forgotten a beloved book they shared as boys. Read it, and have a thrilling adventure that would have been serialized in Planet Stories." ---Gene Wolfe "When both the world and I were very young, there was nothing, absolutely nothing, like Planet Stories for young aficionados of blistering action science fiction. And now, believe it or not, it´s back, under the title of Space Vulture. It´s a book, admittedly, not a magazine, but it still has the taste and feel and bouquet of the real thing. It´s Planet Stories, fellas, come all the way back to roaring life again!"---William Tenn.
