The Terror Out of Space
Fred Boone is a man who wants to be more than human, and the galaxy is about to give him that chance. A dangerous mission to a distant world promises a mysterious element one that can transform ordinary men into something far greater, something superhuman. But the universe doesn't give anything away for free. Between Boone and his promised transformation lie hostile worlds, deadly interplanetary politics, and the cold calculations of the corporation backing his expedition. When your only chance at transcendence means risking everything on a treacherous journey through the void, what won't you sacrifice to get there? This is classic mid-century science fiction at its most bracing: a story about the price of power, the hunger to transcend one's limitations, and the cold truth that becoming something more than human might cost you the very thing that made you human in the first place. For readers who grew up on Heinlein and Campbell, who believe the stars belong to those brave enough to reach for them.
