A distant, remote scientific expedition taking place at the North Pole is invaded by a space alien who has reawakened after lying dormant for centuries after a crash landing. A cunning, intelligent alien who can shape-shift, thereby assuming the personality and form of anything and anyone it destroys. Soon, it is among the men of the expedition, killing each in turn and replacing them by assuming their shape, lulling the scientists one by one into inattention (and trust) and eventually, their destruction. The shape-shifting, transformed alien can pass every effort at detection, and the expedition seems doomed until the scientists discover the secret vulnerability of the alien and are able to destroy it.According to science fiction historian Sam Moskowitz (1920-1997), Who Goes There? had a autobiographical impetus: Campbell's mother and aunt were identical twins and enjoyed teasing him in a game of substituting one for the other while in his care when they were infants an...

John Wood Campbell, Jr. (1910–1971) was an American science fiction writer and editor. As editor of Astounding Science Fiction (later renamed Analog Science Fiction and Fact) from late 1937 until his death, he is generally credited with shaping the Golden Age of Science Fiction. Isaac Asimov called Campbell "the most powerful force in science fiction ever, and for the first ten years of his editorship he dominated the field completely."Included in this volume are ten of his classic novels and stories:WHEN THE ATOMS FAILEDTHE METAL HORDEPIRACY PREFERREDSOLARITETHE BLACK STAR PASSESISLANDS OF SPACEINVADERS FROM THE INFINITETHE VOICE OF THE VOIDTHE DERELICTS OF GANYMEDEIf you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for "Wildside Press Megapack" to see more of the 300+ volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction — and much, much more!

"Visions of time and space that have haunted me ever since I first read it!" Isaac Asimov raved about this "joyful" 1930s space opera trilogy. "By the end, Arcot, Morey, Fuller and Wade venture into space and (with the help of both human and non-human) have driven end to end of the Universe, have encountered creatures of superior technology from whom they learned and surpassed, and have ended with powers like gods. The working of a brilliant imagination, together with a sheer drive and enthusiasm that carries the reader along. An example of the old "super-science epic." The best of their kind and an enriching experience." While The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction says, "the heroes face a succession of battles of ever increasing size fought with a succession of wonderful weapons. Campbell was Doc Smith's chief rival in writing galactic epics of superscience." From the Hugo winning editor/author.
