In this volume, the Earth is threatened countless times, but one lone hero (usually a genius-scientist) stands between triumph or total annihilation. The influence of A. Merritt and M.P. Shiel is felt in several tales of lost, exotic lands, and Hamilton himself begins to exert his own small influence on the genre with several stories of temporal dislocation and cosmic menace. Robert Weinberg delivers an introduction with details on the history of early American science fiction, the context of these stories in relation to their contemporaries, and his own personal memories of knowing and publishing Edmond Hamilton.

The remaining tales are all the same. Just change the names and locations. Otherwise it's the same plot repeated ad infinitum:
1. Hero's friend is ridiculed for outlandish theory and goes away.
2. Years later hero hears from friend asking him to come to his remote location.
3. Upon arrival hero learns of friend's success with experiment, but unforseen consequences lead to a threat to mankind.
4. Hero & friend try to stop threat but are thwarted and imprisoned.
5. Friend tries again, succeeds in stopping threat but is killed in process and hero returns home alone.
It's an okay plot if you use it now and then, but not if it occurs in every story. You'd do much better to stick to his Legion of Super Heroes comic book stories from the 60s. (
