A space capsule reels into space (in the 1920s!), complete with rocket and weightless passengers. Fans of Erle Stanley Gardner will be surprised and delighted to discover that he was one of our earliest science fiction writers. A story displays Gardner's grasp of a vast range of unlikely subject matter and the masterful gift for plot and action that made him the best-selling author of all time. The nature of molecules is the key to a locked-room murder in The Human Zero title story. The author's imagination and ingenuity seem limitless; the action and entertainment he could pack into a 10,000-word story are remarkable.
And so are the other stories in this book.
