E.E. "Doc" Smith - Triplanetary - SCARCE Softcover Edition 2008

Description: "Triplanetary" by E.E. "Doc" Smith - SCARCE Softcover Edition - Published in 2008 by Cruguru -134 pages - NEAR MINT condition. Triplanetary was first serialized in Amazing Stories in 1934 and it later on formed the first of the Lensman series, where it set the stage for what is one of the greatest space-opera sagas ever written. This original publication brings us to a distant planet inhabited by a highly developed aquatic race called the Nevians. They have managed to harness the atomic power of iron and have an enormous need for the metal to generate energy, but their planet has virtually no iron reserves. They build a spaceship to venture into the universe and find iron. Eventually they discover that Earth has huge amounts of iron and the Nevians start to extract all the iron out of Pittsburgh with a special ray. This ray shoots into the city and immediately vaporizes and removes any iron from the buildings, machines, earth, and even from human blood. It is up to Conway Costigan, a mercilessly competent, two-fisted whiz agent of the military Triplanetary Service, and his colleagues to save the planet. Again, this this SCARCE edition is in NEAR MINT condition and almost impossible to find in such pristine condition. No collection of science fiction books is complete without this one. Please see the scan for the cover and so you can judge the condition for yourself (unlike many other booksellers, who post generic scans, the book in my scan is the one you will get). You can try to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not, thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered to you in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and of receiving a high quality item true to the stated condition. You won't be disappointed. All previous buyers of my science fiction books have been completely satisfied. I have many others available; please inquire. The book will be sent via Media mail shipping in the USA to minimize shipping costs. I will combine shipping to reduce charges for multiple items. If you purchase more than one item, please wait until I send you an invoice with the appropriate combined shipping discount. Credit cards are accepted through PayPal.com. Please see my auctions and my eBay store for hundreds of books and a wide variety of sports and non-sports collectibles. All items are packed with care to insure safe delivery. Please contact me if you have any questions. 8-24-20 -- 8.0
