Salvage in Space

Salvage in Space

Salvage in Space

Jack Williamson

A lone asteroid miner ekes out a desperate existence in the belt, slowly building his fortune one fragment of metallic ore at a time. His solitary life changes forever when he spots a drifting derelict ship and risk everything to salvage it. What he finds inside defies imagination: a monstrous creature beyond comprehension, and a dead woman of unsettling beauty. But as our hero works to claim his prize and uncover the ship's dark secrets, he discovers that some salvage comes at a terrible price. The question becomes not whether he can keep his prize, but whether he will survive the night. This is early Jack Williamson at his pulp best, delivering the kind of breathless adventure that made him a legend. Perfect for readers who want their science fiction with pulse-pounding action, genuine mystery, and just a touch of cosmic horror.
