The four novels of the Skylark sequence by the father of modern space opera
This is an ideal sample introduction to the fantastic work of one of the most influential authors of the pulp era. Working with legendary Astounding Science Fiction editor John W. Campbell, E. E. Smith revolutionized space opera, giving it many of the tropes still evident today. This volume reprints the four novels of his classic Skylark series—The Skylark of Space, Skylark Three, Skylark of Valeron, and Skylark DuQuesne.
