Perhaps it is a bit unethical and unusual for editors to voice
their opinion of their own wares, but when such a story as "The
Skylark of Space" comes along, we just feel as if we must shout
from the housetops that this is the greatest interplanetarian and
space flying story that has appeared this year. Indeed, it probably
will rank as one of the great space flying stories for many years
to come. The story is chock full, not only of excellent science,
but woven through it there is also that very rare element, love and
romance. This element in an interplanetarian story is often apt to
be foolish, but it does not seem so in this particular story. We
know so little about intra-atomic forces, that this story,
improbable as it will appear in spots, will read commonplace years
hence, when we have atomic engines, and when we have solved the
riddle of the atom. You will follow the hair-raising explorations
and strange ventures into far-away worlds with bated breath, and
you will be fascinated, as we were, with the strangeness of it all.
The Skylark of Space is perhaps the greatest interplanetarian and
space flying story to appear in any pulp fiction publication. The
story is chock full of excellent science and, woven through it
there is also that very rare element, love and romance. This
element in an interplanetarian story is often apt to be foolish,
but it does not seem so in this particular story. The Skylark of
Space is considered to be one of the earliest novels of
interstellar travel and the first example of space opera. We know
so little about intra-atomic forces, that this story, improbable as
it will appear in spots, will read commonplace years hence, when we
have atomic engines, and when we have solved the riddle of the
