Synopsis
"For a long time, Smith's The Red World of Polaris was assumed to be lost. It was the El Dorado of Smith fanatics. But a copy turned up a few years ago - it was nothing short of a miracle. The people at Nightshade Books published it, along with the rest of Smith's Captain Volmar stories, of which Red World is one. God bless ya, Nightshade Books."--
