“Search the Dark Stars” by John E. Muller (aka, A. A. Glynn). London: John Spencer & Co./Badger Books SF-48 (1961). Cover art by Richard Powers.
“Hounded through space, they held a secret that could set millions free – if only they could stay alive!”
From the back cover:
The world beyond tomorrow the unopened future which lies at a point far distant from the early, fumbling attempts at space flight of our own times.
It is the future of mankind among the stars – but also a future of intrigue and treachery!
This is the setting of “Search the Dark Stars,” A. A. Glynn’s vigorous fantasy of a Galactic civilization which has split against itself and on whose shambles a ruthless warlord of the stars has built a barbaric empire. Persistently striving to topple his autocratic power is the Mutant League, a band of mentally powerful supernormals who style themselves the “inheritors of wisdom and power.”
Enter into this fantastic future in company with the man and the girl who dare to battle against the might of the New Empire – and who hold a guarded, vital secret. Travel with them in their urgent, hunted and hounded flight across the far-flung void of interstellar space and among the myriad worlds of peril of the starways.
“Search the Dark Stars” is a dynamic work of science fiction, a vivid novel of vast scope and swift action.
If your sense of wonder is jaded – try it!
