The Weapon from Beyond

1967

The stars whispered:Die, Starwolf! Die! Morgan Chane was an Earthman by parentage, but he had been born on the pirate-world Varna, whose heavy gravity had developed strength and incredibly quick reflexes in him. When he was old enough, he joined the raider-ships that looted the starworlds, and fought side by side with the dreaded Starwolves of Varna. But then there was a fight among them. Chane killed their leader, and the other Starwolves turned on him. He barely got away alive—-wounded near death, his Starwolf pursuers following him across the galaxy. An there was nowhere he could seek refuge, for no world lift a hand to save one of the hated Starwolves. La saga di Morgan Chane, il Lupo dei Cieli, appartiene alla più moderna epica della fantascienza.Ma chi è Morgan Chane? E' un terrestre, figlio di missionari emigrati sul pianeta Verna, un mondo nel quale gli abitanti si dedicano sistematicamente alla rapina e al saccheggio di tutti i mondi conosciuti. In tutto il cosmo i Lupi dei Cieli sono temuti e odiati, e Morgan Chane è un Lupo dei Cieli, anche se la sua origine è terrestre, anche se soltanto per un miracolo è riuscito a sopravvivere alle tremende condizioni del gigantesco pianeta Verna... ma dal quale è stato anche scacciato, così ora egli considera come la sua patria i mondi della Via Lattea. Braccato e in perenne fuga, egli incontra i Mercenari che rappresentano la seconda potenza della Galassia, uomini che combattono per il proprio interesse economico in ogni angolo dell'universo. L'incontro tra Chane e John Dilulio, il vecchio mercenario che da troppi anni percorre le vie siderali combattendo contro i pericoli e i misteri di cento pianeti, sarà l'inizio di una rocambolesca saga che toccherà mondi strani e fantastici. Contiene, in trad. italiana: The weapon from beyond, The closed worlds, World of the starwolves In appendice: Edmond Hamilton e la fantascienza, di U. Malaguti.
