"Into the Sun" and Other Stories

In Robert Duncan Milne, science fiction historian Sam Moskowitz has unearthed a remarkable -- and yet forgotten -- master of the genre. During the twenty years prior to 1900, astonishingly Milne published at least sixty stories of science fiction and fantasy, and may well have been the field's first full-time contributor. Yet Milne, in spite of being a major influence upon an imaginative writing movement of the 1800's, is a forgotten individual. Into the Sun and Other Stories is a generous sampling of Robert Duncan Milne's fiction, and it is full of marvelous imagination and rare scientific genius reaching far beyond his time. An insight into early science fiction.
