They still love fantastic fiction and its ability to stretch the mind, enrich the spirit, and warm the heart.Determined to recapture the exhilarating science fiction of their youth, not just as it was, but as it should have been, they will transport us to the far reaches of the galaxy, where the mere mention of the interstellar pirate known as Space Vulture strikes fear into every heart and where a pioneering settler’s only hope on a hardscrabble colony world is that the dauntless lawman, Marshal Victor Corsaire, will rocket to the rescue.Come along for the ride and discover all the adventure, suspense, action, and fun that Gary and John first found in science fiction fifty years ago and share with you now in this rollicking tale of the spaceways.
“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
