Fifteen stories by "our ablest practitioner of science fiction," ranging from the sinister rescue of a sputnik in the Pacific to the startling and amusing adventures on the moon, in a comet's tail, on Mars and Venus, in the rings off Saturn, and on the asteroid Icarus only seventeen million miles from the sun. The long concluding story, "The Road to the Sea," is set thousands of years in the future when men have ventured beyond our solar system and the last civilizations on earth are being evacuated.
