Tarrano the Conqueror

Can one brilliant tyrant bend Earth, Venus, and Mars to his will?

In the year 2430, reporter Jac Hallen witnesses the assassination of the President of the Anglo-Saxon Republic—only the first in a wave of coordinated murders that plunges three worlds into terror. Behind the chaos rises Tarrano, a charismatic and ruthless genius from Venus, determined to seize the secret of Dr. Brende’s life-extending discovery and forge an interplanetary empire. As Jac, Elza Brende, Georg, Maida, and their allies race across futuristic Earth, decadent Venus, and the frozen stronghold of Tarrano’s power, love, loyalty, and civilization itself hang in the balance.

Why you will love this Tarrano the Conqueror is classic pulp science fiction at its most imaginative: aerial cities, interplanetary intrigue, ray weapons, strange civilizations, daring escapes, and a villain whose intellect is as dangerous as his ambition. Ray Cummings blends romance, adventure, and planetary warfare into a sweeping early space opera.
