En route, the African Star finds the hulk of a spaceship hanging in space, blasted open with all hands killed. It’s the work of space pirates, led by the malevolent Basilisk! Dick applies himself to uncovering who—or what—the Basilisk is? The stakes are enormously high; while prospecting for lunar tourmalines high on a lunar cliff with Crazy Sam Baxter, someone tries to kill him with a giant falling rock. And that’s just the beginning. Dick risks everything to protect his father, and save the life of everyone at the Observatory. In a dark, lonely cavern far below the lunar surface—Dick will confront the Basilisk. And no-one is there to help… First published in 1951, Vandals of the Void was written for young adults. We still have many of the Science Fiction books published by Gregg Press for sale individually and as sets, use the link below to see a list of what is currently available: Gregg Press items for sale Note on Gregg Press printings: Many of the Gregg Press SF books were printed in editions of only 200 to 300 copies. Quite a few of these were sold to libraries, so finding non-exlibrary copies of all the books can be challenging. Some of the books that sold well were reprinted. It is possible to tell on many of those that were reprinted if a book is a first printing or not but not in all cases. Most first printings stated this on the copyright page but according to Hartwell, a few first printings had no statement of first printing and a few reprint runs didn't get the first printing statements removed. Condition: Binding - near fine, bottom of spine slightly bumped, slight edgewear and rubbing, page edges slightly soiled and very lightly spotted. Dust jacket - very good, moderate edgewear and wrinkling, quite a bit of rubbing, not price clipped but no price listed, in dust jacket protector.
