The young commander, seated at his conning plate, clenched his fists and swore a startled deep-space oath as his eyes swept over the delicately accurate meters and gauges before him; for under the frightful impact of that instantaneously launched attack his outer screen was already down and his second was beginning to crack!

Part of the time he spent in the speedster dashing hither and yon. Most of it, however, he spent in the vastly more comfortable mauler; to the armored side of which his tiny vessel clung with magnetic clamps while he slept and ate, gossiped and read, exercised and played with the mauler’s officers and crew, in deep-space comradery.

I never could see how you deep-space men can really understand what you’re doing—either the frightful speeds at which you travel, the distance you cover, or the way your communicators work.

The Bowdoin-Hall field, which permits of faster-than-light travel, is like a pulsating bubble, expanding and contracting at rates ranging from hundreds of thousands of times per second to the forty-per-second of deep-space speed.

He won’t take any back talk from even an ex-army guy. It’s a shame we have to have two separate services in the first place. Crazy jurisdictional squabbles in the middle of a war whether a battle is deep-space or planet-based.

Are they finally going to get that deep-space construction?

But the single shuttle used by the humans of Lusitania would hardly do for transporting material outward for any kind of major deepspace construction program.

There’s hard science aplenty…physics of deep sea submersibles…deep space observing telescopes.

A battered and infuriated Bala-Tik took time out from bemoaning the loss of his men and equipment to activate a deep-space contact via the freighter’s still-functional communications system.
