The Winged Men of Orcon
DOOMED BY THE CREATURES OF ORCON Out across distance, with its bleeding, crumpled bodies and the teeming swarms beyond, I saw as through a red mist the glittering, whirling maze of Leider's wondrous generators, and began to curse to myself. How had it come to this cosmic interplanetary crisis? That's what Doctor Frederick Weeks would like to know. Dr. Weeks! The man who had discovered the sinister planet across the Universe from Earth. He'd been kidnapped by Admiral Forbes to help him fight the
...evil legions of Orcon after he'd refused . . . and then he'd woken up to find Forbes's dead body. There the beautiful Captain Virginia Crane had told him that their ship was headed to fight the evil Orcons -- headed by none other than Ludwig Leider, "scientist-extraordinare, renegade, terrorist." -- The megalomaniac who meant to control the people of Earth even if he had to use evil, alien assistance. Would Doctor Weeks -- and Earth -- be able to survive? Find out in this pulse-pounding tale of science fiction from the early days of Astounding Stories -- the magazine that became the Analog we all know and love. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
