Danger Planet, by Edmond Hamilton (1904 - 1977)

Volunteers outside the USA: Edmond Hamilton died in 1977. This person's work may still be protected by copyright in countries where copyright duration is determined by the author's death date. In Europe this is 70 years; in Canada it is 70 years for authors who died after 1971; and in Australia it is 70 years for authors who died after 1955.
He was one of the best security agents in the galaxy — a brilliant scientist as well as a top agent. He was one of Captain Future’s most prized men, and although his mission was almost impossible, he set out to succeed — at all costs.

Now he no longer existed; he was more than dead — dissolved into nothingness by the immortal monsters threatening the universe with the horror of ultimate destruction. (Summary by Original book cover)

Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Thanks to you both. Some of the scans aren't too good, but I wanted to do another Captain Future.

Huh. Still have 16 chapters. Gonna be a lengthy funeral service, I guess.

3 & 4 ready for PL. Pages 24 & 25 were a bit of a challenge.

Hamilton is certainly good at getting one to turn the page to the next chapter . . . .
All PL OK, but the Old Ones are coming. :mrgreen:

The Old Ones? Maybe this going to be some sort of Edmond Hamilton/HP Lovecraft crossover.

10 ready for PL.
