A caste of scientists arose who knew how to repair and\noperate the ancient machines — but not how they worked — and\nworshipped at the altars of the atomic gods who were said to make the machines\nrun. Society was a strange mix of the modern and the medieval, with armies\nriding on horseback into huge spaceships, then flying to human colonies on other\nplanets to wage war with swords and arrows. Then came the mutant Clane, who\nwould have been put to death for his deformities had he not been born into the\nruling family. Though his body was twisted, his mind was brilliant, and he not\nonly recovered the lost science behind the ancient machines, but found the truth\nbehind the legends of civilization's downfall. Alien invaders, not human war,\nhad reduced humanity to barbarism as a prelude for a later return in force to\ncolonize the Solar System. And that return would happen soon, unless Clane could\nfind a way to stop it!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor the first time, the entire\u003ci\u003e Clane \u003c\/i\u003esaga, told in the two novels\n\u003ci\u003eEmpire of the Atom\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Wizard of Linn\u003c\/i\u003e, complete in one volume.\nAlso included is Van Vogt's sweeping novel of interstellar adventure, \u003ci\u003eMission\nto the Stars\u003c\/i\u003e, along with the two short novels in the \u003ci\u003eEzwal\n\u003c\/i\u003eseries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Baen Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54220652642648,"sku":"9781451638929","price":11.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781451638929.jpg?v=1749834933","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/transgalactic-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
