The Arcot, Wade and Morey series was one of John W. Campbell’s earliest creations, beginning with The Black Star Passes in 1930. The three books follow a team of scientist-adventurers who use advanced physics and engineering to counter threats to Earth, from alien invasions to cosmic-scale dangers.

Islands of Space (1956) and Invaders from the Infinite (1961) expanded the scope of the series, taking the heroes deeper into space. These stories helped establish the template for hard science fiction adventure, where scientific knowledge is the characters’ primary weapon.
