Dr Kinney takes off into space in this unique omnibus
These are the four colourful space opera adventures of Dr. William
Kinney and his team of scientists and technicians written by the
almost as colourful Homer Eon Flint. These brilliant tales will
delight all enthusiasts of early science fiction. Join Kinney and
Co. aboard their 'sky car' for a flight to the planet Mercury to
investigate why it is a place of death and fallen civilisation. On
Venus, in a hothouse society beneath a dome, live bizarre humanoid
people, highly evolved and reaching for spiritual nirvana but is
all peace and tranquillity? Experience with Dr.Kinney and his
companions the strange sensation of out of body transportation as
they journey to the planet Capellette, where they support
revolutionaries to overthrow despotism. Finally our intrepid team
transport themselves to the planet Sanus where highly evolved bees
rule. In the hive city it is humankind that is held in thrall as
the price for its devastation of the environment and Kinney must
ensure that Mankind is given another chance. These are Dr.Kinney's
complete adventures available in one volume from Leonaur in
softcover and hardcover with dust jacket for collectors."
