Philip Francis Nowlan: Armageddon 2419 A.D., Gebunden

Klappentext

Armageddon 2419 A. D. is a classic science fiction novella that introduces the legendary hero Anthony "Buck" Rogers. After a mining accident leaves him in suspended animation, Rogers awakens nearly five centuries later to a devastated future where North America has been conquered by a powerful empire. Joining a band of rebels, he uses his World War I experience and futuristic technologies to fight back against the invaders. First published in 1928 in Amazing Stories, the story blends adventure, futuristic inventions, and dystopian themes, laying the foundation for the famous Buck Rogers franchise and influencing generations of science fiction storytelling. If curiosity wanders a bit further: this little pulp story quietly launched one of science fiction's earliest pop-culture heroes. The seed planted here grew into radio shows, comic strips, and film serials-the early DNA of modern sci-fi adventure.
