Classic space opera adventure, Book #1 in the "Family D'Alembert" series. The Empire of Earth, spanning more than a thousand solar systems, is threatened by a conspiracy from within. Now, with more than three-quarters of the Galaxy ready to fall into enemy hands, the Empire is forced to call on its top-secret weapon: the renowned Circus of the Galaxy featuring the d'Alembert family, a clan of circus performers with uncanny abilities. But even these super agents may not be in time to save the Empire.
From the Author
Doc Smith wrote the original novelette, "Imperial Stars," but passed away before he could write any more in this series. I was hired to expand the original story to book length and write nine further books. It's not easy following in the footsteps of a master, but fans have told me I did a good job. -- Stephen Goldin
