First published in Amazing Stories in that amazing year of 1928, E. E. Doc Smith’s “The Skylark of Space” revolutionized science fiction with the interstellar scope of its action, what would later be called “space opera.” Smith went further than even H. G. Wells had done with The War of the Worlds and opened the door in science fiction to a whole new universe of possibilities."
