The editors of Amazing Stories -- who first published this novel in August, September, and October 1928 -- waxed ecstatic over it. . . . when such a story as The Skylark of Space comes along, they said we just feel as if we must shout from the housetops that this is the greatest interplanetarian and space flying story that has appeared this year. Indeed, it probably will rank as one of the great space flying stories for many years to come. . . . Copy is often about hyperbole, but they were righter than any editor ever can expect to be. This story has all but become a part of the language: we feel privileged to offer it to you.
Even back before the first bits of this story hit the newsstands, the folks who published it in "Amazing Stories" (January through April, 1934) knew they were on to something special. "We are sure that our readers will be highly pleased to have us give the first installment of a story by Dr. Smith. It will continue for several numbers and is a worthy follower of the "Skylark" stories which were so much appreciated by our readers. We think that they will find this story superior to the earlier ones. Dr. Smith certainly has the narrative power, and that, joined with his scientific position, makes him an ideal author for our columns." An awful lot has gone under the bridge since 1934, but you know, the folks at "Amazing" were on to something. "Triplanetary" really is all that special, and we're thrilled to offer it to you now anew.
The true-life story of a young man's pursuit of his childhood dream. At an early age, Edward Smith played the games many boys do- baseball, basketball and football. It was apparent early on that he was blessed with talent. Not only the story of a sportsman, EZ DOES IT: The Journey of a Lifetime delves deep into his soul and allows you an inside look into a very private man. He also takes you behind the scenes of the professional sports world spotlight. It's not all peaches and cream and every athlete does not walk around with a silver spoon in his mouth. You will witness personal triumphs and tragedy, life-altering choices, loves created, lost and found again.
Skylark Three is the second in Edward E. Smith's Skylark series. Originally serialized through the Amazing Stories magazine it was first collected in book form in 1948. Skylark Three is set a year after the events of The Skylark of Space, during which antagonist Marc "Blackie" DuQuesne has used his wealth obtained in The Skylark of Space to buy a controlling interest in the story's World Steel Corporation. DuQuesne announces a long absence from Earth searching for a species more knowledgeable than the Osnomians allied with protagonist Richard Seaton.
