While the circumnavigation of the solar system seems farfetched, it may not be once the problem of effective anti-gravitational control is solved. In this book I have assumed that the many researchers now actually at work on this problem will achieve such a result in the next decade. It is not at all impossible that they may for we all know that the more minds that work at a problem, the sooner it will be solved. The discovery of a means of negating, reversing or otherwise utilizing the immense force of gravitation for space flight purposes is now thought to be within the bounds of probability. It should occur some time within the next hundred years, possibly in even the short period I assume here Notice: This Book is published by Historical Books Limited (www.publicdomain.org.uk) as a Public Domain Book, if you have any inquiries, requests or need any help you can just send an email to publications@publicdomain.org.uk This book is found as a public domain and free book based on various online catalogs, if you think there are any problems regard copyright issues please contact us immediately via DMCA@publicdomain.org.uk

It's now terribly out of date, but I rearead it recently, and still like it. Make no mistake, it is for teenagers. And it is a product of its time. But it's well written, the characters worked for me, and it was a good mind-stretching story for this kid, and a good nostalgia trip for this old man.

Bad science, entertaining only for young readers By Walter Stanley Though I have seen books by Donald Wollheim since I was a teenager, I’m pretty sure that this is the first book of his that I’ve ever read. This is a juvenile book, of the sort that I used to read before I was ten. Some juvenile books are actually quite mature, and are juvenile books because they are written for that age group and the characters are in their teens. That isn’t quite true of this one. This was part of the Winston series, which was supposed to get young people interested in science fiction, and also in science. The books started with an essay by the author which was supposed to inspire an appreciation of science. Wollheim’s essay is on anti-gravity, which he told his readers scientists were currently working on: “In this book I have assumed that the many researchers now actually at work on this problem will achieve such a result in the next decade.” To the best of my knowledge, scientists were not working on anti-gravity in the 1950s, nor are they now. I don’t even think there is any scientific speculation supporting the notion of anti-gravity. This irritated me from the get-go.So the story involves a race of aliens who have set up machinery on the planets in the solar system that are somehow stealing the sun’s energy. So Earth starts getting cooler and scientists determine that these machines will eventually cause the sun to go nova. An anthropologist and his son are in the Central American wilderness looking for Incan ruins, so they happen to be near the spot where the aliens have established one of the energy-stealing machines. In the process of turning it off, Burl, the boy, is somehow get-go with a charge which makes him the only one capable of turning the machines off. Earth sends its new anti-gravity ship into space to turn these machines off on all the other planets. Burl has to go with them. If I had read this at the age of ten, I would have found a romp through the solar system fighting mysterious aliens entertaining. The planets were presented as accurately as they were understood to be at that time, and the reader learns some interesting facts about Pluto, the ninth planet. But largely the science is terrible and the story is uninspired.
