| Publisher Description: The mammoths of the ancient world have been wonderfully preserved in the ice of Siberia. The cold, only a few miles out in space, will be far more intense than in the polar regions and its power of preserving the dead body would most probably be correspondingly increased. When the hero-scientist of this story knows he must die, he conceives a brilliant idea for the preservation of his body, the result of which even exceeded his expectations. What, how and why are cleverly told here. |
Contributor Bio(s): Jones, Neil R.: - "Neil Ronald Jones (1909 - 1988) was an American author who worked for the state of New York. Not prolific and little remembered today, Jones was ground-breaking in science fiction. His first story, "The Death's Head Meteor," was published in Air Wonder Stories in 1930, possibly recording the first use of "astronaut" in fiction. He also pioneered cyborg and robotic characters and is credited with inspiring the modern idea of cryonics. Most of his stories fit into a "future history" like that of Robert A. Heinlein or Cordwainer Smith, well before either of them used this convention in their fiction." |
