 \nJOENW.CAMPBELLThe MightiestmMachineWarfare between the galaxies  \n# A CLASSIC NOVELOF INTERGALACTIC ADVENTURE\n\nWhen John W.Campbell wrote THE MIGHTIESTMACHINE over thirty years ago,it was immediatelyhailed as a classic of super-science adventure.Thedecades which have passed,and the changes which sci-ence fiction has undergone,have not diminished itsstature:when a recent poll of experts was taken to drawup a list of “the basic science fiction library,”THEMIGHTIEST MACHINE was chosen as one of thosefifteen greatest s-f novels of all time.  \nFor this is a story of tremendous adventure on an awe-inspiring scale,of beings of the distant past and ad-vanced future,of bold,imaginative scientific speculationand a quest into a univetse completely outside our knowl-edge.Planets and suns are weapons in the cosmic battlehere narrated-and Earth's enemies are a race we thoughtwe had forgotten.  \nJOHN W.CAMPBELL first started writing in 1930 whenhis first short story,When the Atoms Failed,was ac-cepted by a science-fiction magazine.At that time hewas twenty years old and still a student at college.As thetitle of the story indicates,he was even at that timeoccupied with the significance of atomic energy andnuclear physics.  \nFor the next seven years,Campbell,bolstered by ascientific background that ran from childhood experi-ments,to study at Duke University and the MassachusettsInstitute of Tcchnology,wrote and sold science-fiction,nchlevlug for himself an enviable reputation in the field.  \nIn 1937 he becamc the editor of Astounding Storiesmagazine and applicd himsclf at once to the task ofbettering the magazine and the field of s-f writingin general.His influence on science-fiction since thenhas been great.Today he still remains as the editor ofthat magazine's evolved and redesigned successor,Analog.  \n# TH MIGHTIEYT MACHINE\n\nbyJOHN W.CAMPBELL  \nACE BOOKS,INC.  \n1120 Avenue of the AmericasNew York,N.Y.10036  \nTHE MIGHTIEST_MACHINE

ship is the new Carlisle air rectifiers,guar-anteed to maintain exactly the right temperature,ion,oxy-gen,and ozone content as well as humidity control.But,anyway,\"he went on,turning to his friend,\"I wish youcould have made this discovery just two years earlier.Itwas the dream of dad's life to build the first meteor-proofship in the.Spencer Rocketship Yards.You physicists were  \n5  \nTHE MIGHTIEST MACHINE  \nmighty slow about that.You've done the miracle now-I hope  \n-but I wish you could have done it sooner.”  \nBig Aarn Munro smiled his slow smile.\"I wish I couldhave,Russ.But remember,physics is like a chain-you can'tadd the last link till all the earlier ones are in place.Youdon't know,perhaps,how much depends on that one dis-covery of the magnetic atmosphere.I couldn't have doneit two years before,because then the necessary backgroundhadn't been developed.Now,the magnetic atmosphere de-velopment of mine will serve as background for other de-velopments.While you engineers have been working onthis ship,I have,despite Carlisle's contemptuous references,been trying to prepare for another ^latest and greatest.'”  \nThey had reached now,the base of the huge metal waysthat supported the newly completed Procyon,the SpencerRocket Co.'s latest product.Nearly seven hundred feet long,two hundred and fifty in diameter,a huge,squat cylinder,it
