Here were hills and valleys, lakes and streams, glowing with the light of the most precious of metals. And, more astonishing than that, it was a world of miniature perfection—an infinitely tiny universe within a golden atom! But for Randolph it was also a world aglow with danger. Somewhere in its tiny vastness were the friends he had to rescue. Captives of a madman, they had been reduced to native Orena size; to return to Earth they needed the growth capsules Randolph was bringing them. It was up to Randolph to find them—and quickly—for the longer they stayed tiny, the closer they came to passing beyond the vanishing point!

Book excerpt: Chapter I It was shortly after noon of December 31, 1970, when the series of weird and startling events began which took me into the tiny world of an atom of gold, beyond the vanishing point, beyond the range of even the highest-powered electric-microscope. My name is George Randolph. I was, that momentous afternoon, assistant chemist for the Ajax International Dye Company, with main offices in New York City. It was twelve-twenty when the local exchange call-sorter announced Alan's connection from Quebec. "Hello, George? Look here, you've got to come up here at once. Chateau Frontenac, Quebec. Will you come?" I could see his face imaged in the little mirror on my desk; the anxiety, tenseness in his voice, was duplicated in his expression. "Well--" I began. "You must, George. Babs and I need you. See here...." He tried at first to make it sound like an invitation for a New Year's Eve holiday. But I knew it was not that. Alan and Barbara were my best friends. They were twins, eighteen years old. I felt that Alan would always be my best friend; but for Babs, my hopes, longings, went far deeper, though as yet I had never brought myself to the point of telling her so.

Book excerpt: A CLASSIC NOVEL OF INTERPLANETARY WARFARE There were nine major planets in the Solar System and it was within their boundaries that man first set up interplanetary commerce and began trading with the ancient Martian civilization. And then they discovered a tenth planet-a maverick! This tenth world, if it had an orbit, had a strange one, for it was heading inwards from interstellar space, heading close to the Earth-Mars spaceways, upsetting astronautic calculations and raising turmoil on the two inhabited worlds. But even so none suspected then just how much trouble this new world would make. For it was WANDL THE INVADER and it was no barren planetoid. It was a manned world, manned by minds and monsters and traveling into our system with a purpose beyond that of astronomical accident! It's a terrific novel from the classic days of great science-fiction adventure-now first published in book form. When RAY CUMMINGS took leave of this planet early in 1957, the world of modern science-fiction lost one of its genuine founding fathers. For the imagination of this talented writer supplied a great many of the most basic themes upon which the present superstructure of science-fiction is based. Following the lead of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, Cummings successfully bridged the gap between the early dawning of science-fiction in the last decades of the Nineteenth Century and the full flowering of the field in these middle decades of the Twentieth.

Download or read book The Man Who Mastered Time written by Raymond King Cummings and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-08-16 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raymond King Cummings' 'The Man Who Mastered Time' is a quintessential work of early science fiction that delves into the complexities and paradoxes of time travel. With a narrative rich in speculative wonder, Cummings' literary style marries a brisk pace with methodical scientific curiosity, set against the backdrop of the genre's golden era. The novel stands as a testament to the period's fascination with temporal exploration and its broader implications on the human condition. The literary context of this novel hails from an era that bore witness to the burgeoning science fiction landscape, one which Cummings distinctly influenced with his imaginative propositions and his unique vision of the future. Cummings, an influential figure in the sci-fi community, often intertwined his interest in the possibilities of science with his vivid imagination, resulting in stories that were both grounded in scientific plausibility and wildly creative. It's likely that 'The Man Who Mastered Time' was born from both his personal fascination with the concept of time and the emerging theories of the early 20th century that challenged traditional notions of a linear, immutable chronology. For lovers of classic science fiction, 'The Man Who Mastered Time' offers a journey that is as intellectually stimulating as it is entertaining. Cummings' prowess in weaving a tale that both honors the scientific inquiries of its time and transcends decades with its relevance is a rare find. The book beckons the modern reader to dive into the origins of sci-fi literature, where the foundations of today's beloved time-travel tropes were first forged. In enjoying this work, one not only partakes in a thrilling narrative but also in the celebration of a genre's heritage.
