Product Details
- Published in 1951 this novel is entertaining for old fashioned science fiction. Simply, it's a story about a time capsule found among the ruins of a civilization on an asteroid between Mars and Jupiter. This time capsule also contains a being over 500,000 years old, and the formula for resurrecting it. What destroyed the planet and what is locked in the capsule? Wonky science, sociology, philosophy and space opera ensue. (Kurt Reichenbaugh)About the author: Raymond Fisher Jones (15 November 1915 - 24 January 1994) was an American science fiction author.
