About this book

One of the greatest names in science-fiction is that of John W. Campbell. Famed as the editor of Astounding Science Fiction (later Analog), John W. Campbell was earlier known for his exciting, imaginative novels of super-science. The Black Star Passes is such a book, narrating the adventures of the Earth scientists Arcot, Wade and Morey as they fight for the freedom of their planet and then for the safety of the entire solar system. For cosmic scope, daring concepts, and sweeping adventure, it has seldom been equaled. This book also contains the stories "Piracy Preferred" and "Solarite".

About Unknown Author

John Wood Campbell Jr. was an American science fiction writer and editor. As editor of Astounding Science Fiction from late 1937 until his death, he is generally credited with shaping the Golden Age of Science Fiction. Isaac Asimov called Campbell "the most powerful force in science fiction ever, and for the first ten years of his editorship he dominated the field completely." As a writer, Campbell published super-science space opera under his own name and moody stories under his primary and most famous pseudonym, Don A. Stuart. Campbell also wrote under the pen names Karl Van Kampen and Arthur McCann. - Wikipedia
