Edmond Hamilton's Citadel of the Star Lords launches with a blast of pulp-era urgency: a rogue pilot fleeing across the desert is caught in a nuclear test and hurled into a nightmare future. Price wakes to find Earth transformed, with ruined cities swallowed by wilderness and a terrifying new order ruled by the Star Lords, alien conquerors who have crushed civilization and forbidden the very technologies that once defined it. Half-crazed but resourceful, Price must survive among suspicious frontier fighters who call him "star-spawn," evade deadly flying surveillance, and prove that his airplane may be more than a relic—it may be a weapon in humanity's last hope. As he moves through hidden camps, secret caves, and the shattered remains of the American heartland, he discovers a desperate underground resistance gathering in the dark. With classic interplanetary menace, mystery, and high-stakes adventure, this is a gripping fight for survival against a cosmic enemy and a stolen future.
