Escape Velocity

By Charles L. Fontenay

A hook: A pioneer's courage, a frontier of stars, and a story that still hums with possibility. Escape Velocity breathes life into a mid twentieth century vision of space exploration, a compact science fiction novella that bridges classic space adventure with a surprisingly modern sense of wonder. In tense, brisk prose, it unfolds through encounters with alien minds, the pull of technological optimism, and the grit of human curiosity. It is a work that speaks to both casual readers seeking a thrilling voyage and serious collectors hunting a quintessential piece of golden age fiction. This edition is more than a reprint; it is a thoughtful restoration for today's and future generations. Restored with care, it preserves the flavour and cadence that captivated analog magazine readers, while sharpening the clarity for contemporary readers. The result is a collection ready edition that sits proudly alongside public domain science fiction staples, inviting new audiences to discover a classic space adventure that still resonates. For the curious and the connoisseur alike, Escape Velocity offers enduring value: a compact masterclass in suspense and possibility, a window into 1950s america and its fevered optimism about science, and a cultural treasure that honours its era while remaining accessible today. This is a book to revisit, to lend to a friend, to place beside other favourites of sci fi readers and collectors.
