Other Worlds
Thrill-packed, and ingenious, this is a wonderful story of tomorrow — about a high-powered television producer whose journey to the moon on a public relations job ended in a trip to outer space!
Jed Cochrane was furious when he got thirty minutes' notice to board a space ship on a mysterious mission. He was even angrier when it turned out that he was to get publicity for a seemingly worthless scientific discovery of the neurotic son-in-law of his boss. But Jed, the cynical impresario, became entangled in man's greatest new discovery — an interstellar craft which could travel faster than light — carrying him and a load of sane and insane characters to a planet outside the Earth's solar system.
Here is an absorbing tale which projects the reader into a suspenseful future, on an exciting journey into space and unique and dangerous adventures with other creatures and other stellar worlds.
