. In their newest volume, Plasma Pulp, due out later this week, I and nine other authors dare to look forward to a better quality of future… by looking back to a better quality of fiction.

Doc Smith didn’t dream up some fabulous Utopia, never to be realized this side of the Millenium. What made his fiction so much better, then? He dared to imagine a world where evil lurks, just like ours, but in which bold heros to dare to oppose it. Kimball Kinnison, the Gray Lensman, had no truck with criminal Zwilnicks.

That is the true grandeur of the old adventure pulps. Great evil, opposed by great heroes. When evil looms, strap on your DeLameters, swing your Space Axe, buy your copy of Plasma Pulp, and make your stand. The Galactic Patrol wants you! Join us!
