Description

Through detailed research and exclusive interviews, Eric Leif Davin takes readers back to the 1920s and 1930s, when Hugo Gernsback, the "father of science fiction," founded the world's first science fiction magazine, Amazing Stories. Davin recaptures the "sense of wonder" that the early science fiction stories inspired in the minds of its first avid fans.
