Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Citadel of the Star Lords" by Edmond Hamilton is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story begins with a pilot named Price, who finds himself in a desperate situation after accidentally smuggling a revolutionary across the border. In a thrilling turn of events, he inadvertently becomes part of a cataclysm that sends him far into the future—a world transformed by the merciless invasion of alien conquerors known as the Star Lords. As Price navigates this new reality, he encounters various hostile factions, revealing a struggle for survival that intertwines humanity's past with its uncertain future. The opening of the story establishes a tense atmosphere, framing Price's aerial escape from authorities in a race against time that leads to chaos. After surviving a hydrogen bomb detonation, he discovers he has been thrown into a future where the once-familiar landscape is now a forested wasteland, with remnants of civilization overtaken by nature. As Price confronts the grim reality of this future, he encounters a group of men who bear resentment towards the Star Lords, leading him to form uneasy alliances that could change the course of his fate and humanity's struggle against their oppressors. The narrative unfolds as a multifaceted exploration of survival, identity, and rebellion in a world that has radically changed due to both the consequences of mankind's past errors and the invasive alien influence.
