This omnibus was first published by the SFBC in April 1959, but it had a 1951 copyright date. This misled collectors and bibliographers into believing that there was a Simon and Schuster trade edition in 1951. Omnibus edition of three novels, originally published separately: Slan (1946), The Voyage of the Space Beagle (1950), and The World of Null-A (1945). Parts of The Voyage of the Space Beagle were originally published separately as short stories: Black Destroyer, War of Nerves, Discord in Scarlet, and M33 in Andromeda.

Alfred Elton van Vogt was a Canadian-born science fiction author regarded by some as one of the most popular and complex science fiction writers of the mid-twentieth century—the "Golden Age" of the genre. van Vogt was born to Russian Mennonite family. Until he was four years old, van Vogt and his family spoke only a dialect of Low German in the home. He began his writing career with 'true story' romances, but then moved to writing science fiction, a field he identified with. His first story was Black Destroyer, that appeared as the front cover story for the July 1939 edtion of the popular "Astounding Science Fiction" magazine.
