Captain Future 08 - the Lost World of Time (Fall 1941)
“Follow Captain Future as the greatest enigma of all time transports him into the forgotten ages. Chapter 1: Mystery Asteroid THE asteroid swung dark and lonely on its predestined path through space, a tiny world of brooding mystery and silence. It was but one of the countless asteroids, meteor swarms and other interplanetary debris that form a great band between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. A dense little world with a thin envelope of air, it was clad with a thick jungle of flat, fronded gr...een trees and shrubs.Many-legged asteroid rats scurried to and fro in the jungle and flame-birds cut soaring, phosphorescent trails amid the fronds. Now and again a tentative breeze stirred the fronds to leathery rustling. Then resumed the long, heavy silences of an unpeopled world...But tonight there was a new, alien sound, coming from the meteor-blazoned sky. It was the high, droning hum of rocket-tubes.The drone grew louder. Out of the sky sank a battered Kalber space ship, its keel-tubes flaming as it dropped to a landing in a rocky clearing of the jungle.MoreLess
