Synopsis ~
Space - endless space, filled with planets and a galaxy of stars - that was the new frontier, the great wilderness waiting for the explorers to discover, and the pioneers to settle it. Space Pioneers is a collection of superb stories of explorations and settlements in outer space. a trip to the moon results in a terrifying trial of man's fortitude and endurance; the exploration of Mars is achieved successfully with the help of a native American Indian who finds new trails to follow in the Martian desert; a team of exploration experts rebels against the Dominator of their society in death-defying maneuver; an invasion of Earth by inhabitants of another planet is almost successful. These are the explorers who accept the challenge of new worlds. Close behind them follow the settlers - the women, wives and daughters, who accompany their men to chill new homes in dangerous surroundings; the men who farm the planets and battle the hostile nature in the process. Their story is the story of the future.
Space Pioneers presents a startling glimpse into that future; the future of space travel, artificial satellites, colonization - a vision of conquest and settlement that comes closer to reality every day.
