Edmond Moore Hamilton was a popular author of science fiction stories and novels throughout the mid-twentieth century. His career as a science fiction writer began with the publication of the story, “The Monster God of Mamurth,” which appeared in the August 1926 issue of the classic magazine of alternative fiction, Weird Tales. Hamilton quickly became a central member of the remarkable group of Weird Tales writers assembled by editor Farnsworth Wright, that included H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard. Hamilton would publish 79 works of fiction in Weird Tales between 1926 and 1948, making him one of the most prolific of the magazine’s contributors. Hamilton became a friend and associate of several Weird Tales veterans, including E. Hoffmann Price and Otis Adelbert Kline; most notably, he struck up a 40-year friendship with close contemporary Jack Williamson, as Williamson records in his 1984 autobiography Wonder’s Child. In Return to the Stars, John Gordon, twentieth century Earthman, is torn from his own time to a far distant future - a time when the entire galaxy is inhabited. But men do not rule the future; our race is only one among thousands, and many of those thousands are sworn enemies of humanity! Gordon, a man of the past, is forced to form alliances with the men of the future in a desperate battle to save the human race from final annihilation… You can listen online to free English audiobook “Return to the Stars” by Edmond Hamilton on our website.
