The cover blurb on the old paperback says this is "The Seminal" Buck Rodgers story. I had to look that one up and I believe the second definition fits. Influencing future development. Every Buck Rodgers version since has had roots in this book. So have many other similar science fiction stories. I know it has had loads of influence in the type of space stories I have grown to enjoy. Decades worth as I first discovered Buck Rodgers and Wilma Deering as a teenager more than a few decades ago. I've found it to be one of those timeless books and I take it up every few years to enjoy all over again. If you have yet to read this classic, I would urge you to do so. If you already have, try it again!
