Arcot, Morey and Wade
John W. Campbell, Jr. · 2 novels · 2 novellas · 2 novelettes · 1 collection · 1930–2015
Arcot, Morey and Wade collects John W. Campbell Jr.'s pulp-era stories, starting with The Black Star Passes, a fixup built from stories originally serialized in Amazing Stories during the early 1930s. The books follow the same trio of scientist-adventurers through escalating, gadget-driven space adventures typical of early Golden Age SF, continuing through Islands of Space and Invaders from the Infinite. It's foundational pulp science fiction, heavier on speculative engineering than characterization by later standards.
