“The scene outside my window was a chaos: showers of white
sparks were rushing at us. I tried to shout a warning, but
instead I laughed with a touch of madness. I realized then that
these sparks were really stars—and they were passing through
us. I could see their luminous white points beaming within the
vehicle as the stream flowed through. These stars were mere
electrons and our vehicle comparatively was a puff of vapor.”
Racing through the vast depths of space in a vehicle larger than
the universe itself—a fantastic concept and one that only the
mind of a master pioneering science-fiction writer could
conceive and then translate into a classic tale of exciting
adventure in a cosmos _BEYOND THE STARS_.
