THE ORIGINAL "BUCK ROGERS" SF CLASSIC! By Philip Francis Nowlan.
"Armageddon - 2419 A.D." - Buck, a victim of accidental suspended
animation, awakens five hundred years later to discover America
groaning under the tyranny of the villainous Han, ruling from the
safety of their armored machine-cities. Falling in love with one of
America's new warrior-women, Wilma Deering, Rogers soon become a
central figure in using newly-developed scientific weapons -
disintegrators, jumping belts, inertron, and paralysis rays - to
revolt against the Han. "Airlords of Han" - He and beloved,
warrior-woman Wilma Deering, must lead a desperate a battle to the
finish against a superior foe - using futuristic weapons such as
disintegrators, jumping belts, inertron, paralysis rays, and atomic
torpedoes. The climatic conflict features a special effects battle
of ships and rays that would challenge even today's greatest
filmmakers to reproduce successfully on film.
"Here, once more, is a real scientifiction story plus. It is a
story which will make the heart of many readers leap with joy."
"We have rarely printed a story in this magazine that for
scientific interest, as well as suspense, could hold its own with
this particular story. We prophesy that this story will become more
valuable as the years go by. It certainly holds a number of
interesting prophecies, of which no doubt, many will come true. For
wealth of science, it will be hard to beat for some time to come.
It is one of those rare stories that will bear reading and
re-reading many times."
"This story has impressed us so favorably, that we hope the
author may be induced to write a sequel to it soon."
-- from an editorial note in "Amazing Stories, " August 1928
