Product Details
- Published in 1951 this novel is entertaining for old fashioned science fiction. Simply, it's a story about a time capsule found among the ruins of a civilization on an asteroid between Mars and Jupiter. This time capsule also contains a being over 500,000 years old, and the formula for resurrecting it. What destroyed the planet and what is locked in the capsule? Wonky science, sociology, philosophy and space opera ensue. (Kurt Reichenbaugh)About the author: Raymond Fisher Jones (15 November 1915 - 24 January 1994) was an American science fiction author. He is best known for his 1952 novel This Island Earth, which was adapted into the eponymous 1955 film.Jones was born at Salt Lake City, Utah, and was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from birth. He died at Sandy, Utah, in 1994.Most of Jones' short fiction was published during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, in magazines such as Thrilling Wonder Stories, Astounding Stories, and Galaxy. His sixteen novels were published between 1951 and 1978.His short story Rat Race, first published in the April 1966 issue of Analog Science Fiction and Fact, was nominated for a Hugo Award.

Another short story, The Alien Machine, first published in the June 1949 edition of Thrilling Wonder Stories, was later combined with two other short stories, The Shroud of Secrecy and The Greater Conflict, and expanded into the novel This Island Earth, upon which the movie of the same name was based.Jones also wrote the story upon which a 1952 Tales of Tomorrow television program episode, titled The Children's Room, was based.Jones short story, Tools of the Trade, that appeared in the November 1950 issue of Astounding, was the first story dealing with 3D printing, although he called it Molecular Spray at the time.In 1978 three of his stories were dramatized & released through audio cassette by AudiSee: The Renegades of Time (The Lost One's), The King Of Eolim (The Star Prince) & The Rebels Of Empiria.
