SUMMARY:
Even back before the first bits of this story hit the newsstands, the folks who published it in "Amazing Stories" (January through April, 1934) knew they were on to something special. "We are sure that our readers will be highly pleased to have us give the first installment of a story by Dr. Smith. It will continue for several numbers and is a worthy follower of the "Skylark" stories which were so much appreciated by our readers. We think that they will find this story superior to the earlier ones.

"Triplanetary" really is all that special, and we're thrilled to offer it to you now anew.
