The Voyage of the Space Beagle is a 1950 fix-up novel by A. E. van Vogt, stitched together from four previously published pulp stories into a single continuous account of the exploration ship Space Beagle's encounters with a series of dangerous alien life forms. Its episodic, crew-versus-monster structure reads as a loose sequence of adventures rather than one continuous plot.
