From the back cover:Blast off to space - A handful of men hold open the gateway to the stars in "The Shores of Night" by Thomas J. Scortia. There was a time when boys dreamed of conquering the earth. But the boys of tomorrow will dare to capture the stars. You will meet such a boy in "Dream Street" by Frank M. Robinson. A strange and lovely woman turns out to be a doctor from far-off space, treating the savages of this jungle - Earth! in "Jungle Doctor" by Robert F. Young. Read these and other dramatic tales of the eerie, unpredictable world of tomorrow in 6 from Worlds Beyond From the first page: Nobody know what tomorrow will bring... but the science fiction writer is a good prophet. Ever since Jules Verne's prediction of a flight to the moon, imaginative writers have taken the knowledge of science in the world around them and projected it into a marvel of tomorrow. Each of the things - satellites, atomic submarines, giant computers - were thought of as delightful products of ingenious if slightly mad minds. And when finally these fictitious wonders actually came into being, the science-fictioneers had already discarded them for new uninvented thrills. For, in their race with science, the writers are always ahead by the length of one space ship. Here, in these six fiction tales, you will see some of the top writers at work... presenting not only exciting fiction but a preview of worlds that may be just around the corner.
