Home / The Universe Wreckers (Classicus Edition)
The Universe Wreckers by Edmond Hamilton, first published in Weird Tales in January 1930, is a landmark of early science fiction that helped define the golden age of space opera. When entire stars begin disappearing from the night sky, the Interstellar Council realizes a terrifying truth: someone—or something—is dismantling the universe itself. A small team of explorers is dispatched to trace the source, leading to a confrontation with a long-buried threat capable of ending all life across the cosmos.
As the mystery unfolds, Hamilton unleashes a galaxy-spanning narrative filled with ancient alien powers, staggering scientific weaponry, and apocalyptic stakes. The novel blends high-concept cosmic horror with the pulse-pounding urgency of interstellar adventure, delivering a story that’s as imaginative as it is suspenseful. The enemies in this tale don’t just threaten worlds—they aim to unmake existence entirely.
Reissued by Classicus, this new edition of The Universe Wreckers introduces modern readers to Edmond Hamilton’s masterful fusion of science fiction, action, and speculative wonder. For fans of classic sci-fi, galactic warfare, and visionary pulp storytelling, this is a must-read journey into the very heart of cosmic destruction.
