When the Inter-Planetary Corporation's crack spaceliner Arturus took off on a routine flight to Mars, it turned out to be the beginning of a most unexpected trip to the unexplored moons of distant Jupiter.
For once wreaked on Ganymede, the survivors had first to master that world's primeval terrors, then reconstruct a new spacecraft, and finally find a way out of the problems presented by the warring intelligence of the Jovian system.
SPACEHOUNDS OF ICP is justly considered to be on of Edward E. Smith's finest novels - a standalone classic of exciting space adventure.
Spacehounds of IPC eBook EE 'Doc' Smith
Good old fun, old-style science fiction! Smith was criticized for not having the story events occur "outside the solar system", but those comments are from picky "spoil-sports". Old-time sci-fi is literature that you should just relax and enjoy! Smith wrote lots of books involving additional galaxies. It should be remembered that "Doc" Smith was one of the first old-time sci-fi writers who had a PhD and employed real science to his fictional books, along with the Physicist John W. Campbell ("Who Goes There?", the basis for "The Thing" movies). Little doubt George Lucas got his idea for The Death Star from the Metal Planetoid that Smith used in his Lensman series. The idea of The Sunbeam (Star Wars), Hyper-Spatial Tube (Artificially Created Wormholes) and a Supercomputer are also "Smith originals" from the Lensman series. "Doc" Smith was a genius, way ahead of his time!Product details

Spacehounds of IPC eBook EE 'Doc' Smith Reviews
"DOC" SMITH audaciously created a fine race of super humans to interact with nefarious aliens, which are beyond understanding, in this novella from his late forties. In my mind it has withstood the test of memory and remains lumpy in character development but wonderful in action!
An excellent space opera, one that contains variants of other things that were seen in other novels, such as the snake like beings that resemble Worsel and the other Velantians, pressor and tractor rays, and other things. There is a refreshing lack of ray guns (no DeLameters here!) and super weapons, at least on the human side. I do have to say that this contained some of the most realistic portrayals of a woman in Smith's books, similar to the women in the SUBSPACE novels.
This was an interesting read, I'd say a cut above the genre for the time period in which it was written. There are many dated catch phrases with it, but if you can get past that, the description of technology is interesting. I'd say it's "All X!"
Read and re-read books by this author in my early teens Skylark, Lensman series etc
Enjoyed reading this book again - ok it is not the most sophisticated SF - but for the time when it was written it had some interesting ideas even if they are 1930s simplistic
When you think that this work was first published in 1931, much closer to the 19th Century than our own, you have to be impressed. So much is wrong with the science, especially the planetary science, that you just shake your head sometimes. But that's with 80+ years of hindsight. Take this story in context and it's a great read. The "with it" banter and expressions are so far out of date that you have to laugh out loud, but that's half the fun. Highly recommended.
A dated story written many many moons ago, but it was one of the first sci fi books I read as a child and I find that I still love it. Like Burroughs, the science in the sci fi isn't really there and the characters are rather one dimensional, but still enjoyable.
I was unsure how this story was going to grab me. Sure, it was quite dated, but seeing as it was published shortly after WW2, it had a lot of imaginative ideas about space travel, combined with old-world mechanical technology. I found the characters to be likeable and even if the troubles they got into and out of seemed rather farcical, I still rate this story as very enjoyable. Would be nice to see this turned into a movie some day!
All x ;-)
