A pioneer in pulp science fiction, Ray Cummings inspired an entirely-new fiction genre with his influential story originally published in 1919, \u003cem\u003eThe Girl in the Golden Atom, \u003c\/em\u003e which introduced the world to a series of short stories and novels known as his \"Matter, Space and Time\" range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis suite of stories featured the Scientific Club: a group of New York-based socialites of revolving membership who either recounted these tales of fantastic science--or were directly involved in these tales which originally appeared in the top magazines of the 1920s: \u003cem\u003eAll Story Weekly, Argosy, Detective Story Magazine, Flynn's, \u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eScience and Invention, \u003c\/em\u003e among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection assembles all of the Scientific Club stories, sourced directly from their original magazine appearances... most of which have never before been reprinted. In addition, this deluxe edition includes all of Cummings' Scientific Club stories which appeared exclusively in the United Kingdom. It also gathers the later Scientific Club stories from a brief revival in the mid-1930s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo stone has been left unturned for this edition: two hitherto-unknown Scientific Club stories were discovered, and these have been included, along with 26 other stories.
