Synopsis "The Ultimate Weapon"

The star Mira was unpredictably variable. Sometimes it was blazing, brilliant and hot. Other times it was oddly dim, cool, shedding little warmth on its many planets. Gresth Gkae, leader of the Mirans, was seeking a better star, one to which his "people" could migrate. That star had to be steady, reliable, with a good planetary system. And in his astronomical searching, he found Sol. With hundreds of ships, each larger than whole Terrestrial spaceports, and traveling faster than the speed of light, the Mirans set out to move in to Solar regions and take over. And on Earth there was nothing which would be capable of beating off this incredible armada-until Buck Kendall stumbled upon THE ULTIMATE WEAPON.

John W. Campbell (1910-1971) fue un prolífico escritor y editor estadounidense, considerado el padre indiscutible de la ciencia ficción moderna. Estudió física en el MIT y en la Universidad de Duke, destacando inicialmente como autor de óperas espaciales y relatos de 'ciencia dura'.Su mayor legado provino de su labor como editor de la revista Astounding Science Fiction (hoy Analog) desde 1937 hasta su muerte. En este puesto, impulsó la llamada Edad de Oro de la Ciencia Ficción. Transformó el género alejándolo de las típicas historias de monstruos para enfocarse en la plausibilidad científica, la sociología y el impacto de la tecnología en la sociedad.Bajo su tutela y estímulo, forjó las carreras literarias de grandes maestros como Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein y Arthur C. Clarke. Además, como autor, es universalmente conocido por su escalofriante novela corta ¿Quién anda ahí? (1938), que fue adaptada al cine en clásicos como La Cosa (The Thing).
