I haven't read other Captain Future books or any pulp science fiction from the 1940s before this one. I didn't know what to expect from that era, and I was pleasantly surprised to find so many concepts familiar from modern space adventures, such as shields and tractor beams. There are still convenient contrivances — oh, your atom-pistol didn't work because I'm wearing an invisible atom shield! — but whether or not the science is founded, it's really no different from the technobabble of today's Star Trek. The story itself is nothing special, but it was a still an interesting historical read.

Hey do you want a fast little sci-fi pulp book written back in World War 2? If so this is for you at only 128 pages I read this in about 2 hours and it was fun. Gave me really big fallout vibes. We were just considering space travel at this time and the science is laughable and the characters don’t have any depth but they don’t have to. Captain Future gets amnesia and the Futuremen are lost in space(two robots and a disembodied brain). They have to find each other stop the evil plan and save the day. Thank you library sale.
