Space Vulture - Tapa blanda

"What a time machine! "Space Vulture" takes me back to Alex Raymond's classic "Flash Gordon "comic strip and to all the other great science fiction adventures that thrilled me as a kid. The book is full of color, action, and fun. Gary Wolf and John Myers have brilliantly managed the neat trick of not only evoking a beloved genre, but actually surpassing it."---Stan Lee""Space Vulture" provides a rollicking good time with a spice of high camp and a moral underpinning far more sophisticated than the original space operas were ever capable of attaining."---Brother Guy Consolmagno SJ, astronomer at the Vatican Observatory"Here's the pure quill, a real slam-bang heroic space opera written by men who haven't forgotten a beloved book they shared as boys. Read it, and have a thrilling adventure that would have been serialized in "Planet Stories"."---Gene Wolfe"When both the world and I were very young, there was nothing, absolutely nothing, like "Planet Stories" for young aficionados of blistering action science fiction. And now, believe it or not, it's back, under the title of "Space Vulture". It's a book, admittedly, not a magazine, but it still has the taste and feel and bouquet of the real thing. It's "Planet Stories, " fellas, come all the way back to roaring life again!"---William Tenn
