marc520: "The Skylark of Space" by E. E. Smith and Lee Hawkins Garby is a science fiction novel written between 1915 and 1921. When scientist Dick Seaton accidentally discovers a revolutionary space drive, he races to build a spaceship with his millionaire friend. But his rival, the ruthless Marc DuQuesne, sabotages their plans and kidnaps Seaton's fiancée, launching a desperate chase across the galaxy. This pioneering work of interstellar adventure is considered the first example of space opera. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
