The Skylark of Space by Lee Hawkins Garby and E. E. Smith he worked it to make us think him a nut. He certainly is clever. I take off my hat to him--he's a wonder!" "And what is your idea? Where do we come in?" "You come in by getting that solution away from Seaton and Crane, and furnishing the money to develop the stuff and to build, under my direction, such a power-plant as the world never saw before." "Why get that particular solution? Couldn't we buy up some platinum wastes and refine them?" "Not a chance," replied the scientist.

E. E. "Doc" Smith was a fantastic writer of fantastic "Space Operas" that stick in your mind and your imagination. "Skylark of Space" was published in 1928 and is the first in a series of space travel novels which also includes "Skylark Three", "Skylark of Valeron", and "Skylark DuQuesne". This commemorative edition has a larger format than the paperback edition I originally owned but the cover is the same type of lurid design that was popular in the 20's and 30's.
