Book Reviews of The Voyage of the Space Beagle

Book Review: Boldly Going to explore strange new worlds
Summary: 4 Stars

These are the voyages of the the Space Beagle, her five year mission: To explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before. Ok, maybe a little to blatant, but these stories of the Space Beagle, originally published in 1950 were cited by Gene Roddenberry as one of the influences on his creation of Star Trek. The Space Beagle was a large exploration ship, sent out into the unknown parts of space, its crew of scientists looking to explore what ever they run across. In an interesting twist, one of the alien races the Beagle comes across is the Ix, that lays their eggs in human bodies, so the young can feed after they hatch. Also sound familiar? Vogt actually sued 20th Century Fox after the release of Alien, and the suit was settled out of court. Draw your own conclusion. Classic Golden Age science fiction.

Summary of The Voyage of the Space Beagle

One of the great original classics of modern SF returns!

An all-time classic space saga, The Voyage of the Space Beagle is one of the pinnacles of Golden Age SF, an influence on generations of stories. An episodic novel filled with surprises and provocative ideas, this is the story of a great exploration ship sent out into the unknown reaches of space on a long mission of discovery. They encounter several terrifying alien species, including the Ix, who lay their eggs in human bodies, which then devour the humans from within when they hatch. This is one of the most entertaining and gripping stories in all of classic SF.
