THE MIGHTIEST MACHINE.
Providence, R.I. Hadley Publishing Company, [1947]. Octavo, original blue pebbled cloth (no priority), spine stamped in gold. First edition. The author's first SF book. Early science fiction novel of with a galactic sweep, first published in Astounding Science Fiction in 1934. "Intrepid space-farers are plunged into an alternative universe, where they discover ancient Earth-peoples and become embroiled in interplanetary war. Extravagant entertainment in the same rather juvenile vein as E. E. 'Doc' Smith's space epics of the period -- though it displays a better grasp of science and engineering. Campbell's first novel in book form, and perhaps the best of his early space operas." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 237. This space epic remains "not only historically instructive and important, but fascinating to read as well." - Survey of Science Fiction Literature III, pp. 1396-1400. Anatomy of Wonder (1976) 3-7.

"These short stories are much better than the author's novel-length space operas, and constitute a fascinating body of work." - Anatomy of Wonder (1995) 2-13. The title story has been filmed twice, the first in 1951 as "The Thing From Another World", one of the classic Science Fiction films of the 1950s (with James Arness in the title role), and by John Carpenter in 1982 as "The Thing."
