Crack in the Ether

In wartime 1942, a daring rift-explorer crew aboard the dirigible Aurora stumbles upon an 'etheric fissure' beyond the stars. Their leader, Professor Hargrove, returns with alien matter and spearheads the War Department's Experimental Super-Soldier program to turn a humble mechanic into a bulwark against the Axis menace. When the soldier begins to sense voices from the rift, a race ensues to master the cosmic power before enemy agents seize it. A pulp-packed tale of science, courage, and the strange frontier between man and the cosmos.
