Beschreibung

Classic Science Fiction From a Master of the Genre, Emil Petaja's "The Path Beyond the Stars". EMIL PETAJA ( 1915 - 2000) was an American writer of Finnish descent, and thus some of his fiction derives its energy and inspiration from the Finnish verse epic, "The Kalevala". Petaja, named the first Author Emeritus by the Science Fiction Writers of America, pioneered the mythological science fiction genre with his Otava Series based on the "Kalevala". ************************************** "The Path Beyond the Stars" does not partake of Finnish mythological elements, but is just as exciting. The cover blurb: THE MAN FROM OUTER SPACE . Who was Jon Wood? Jon himself did not know. He was a space orphan, found as an infant abandoned in an outer galaxy. He grew up an Earthling, with only his mysterious psychic powers to set him apart - until the strange and beautiful creature named Venus Trine gasped out his true identity . and his fearful mission. Now he knew. And the non-stop adventure and danger began - as Jon hunted and was hunted by the monstrous being, Trog, juggling time and space, leaping the stars and the centuries. For Jon alone could stand up to this evil beyond man's wildest imaginings. **************************************** TITLE : The Path Beyond the Stars / AUTHOR : Emil Petaja (1915 - 2000) / IMPRINT : Dell Books / PUBLISHER CAT. # : 6864 / PLACE : New York / DATE : (March 1969) / EDITION : First Edition - PBO / COVER ART : Jack Gaughan / PHYSICAL DETAILS : Mass market paperback. 188 pages + 4 pages of publisher's list; Approximately 4 1/4" x 7"; pictorial wraps, glued.
