Summary: "Corsairs of the Cosmos" by Edmond Hamilton is a science fiction novel that was written in the early 20th century, at a time when the genre was gaining popularity. The story follows Captain Dur Nal and his crew in the Interstellar Patrol as they confront a formidable threat: a group of machines from another galaxy that has devised a method to steal suns. The narrative unfolds in a richly imagined cosmos filled with stellar phenomena and mechanical aliens, addressing themes of survival, exploration, and the conflict between organic life and machines. In the book, Captain Dur Nal and his officers embark on a perilous journey after discovering that a fleet of dark stars is approaching their galaxy, propelled by a mechanical race seeking to harvest suns. The crew learns that these dark stars are infused with artificial propulsion systems, allowing them to navigate the cosmos like ships. Upon landing on one of these dark stars, they encounter a variety of mechanical entities, ultimately discovering the invaders' dark intentions: to strip their galaxy of valuable young suns to replace dying ones in their own. The majority of the story revolves around the ensuing conflict between the Interstellar Patrol and the machines, marked by thrilling space battles and strategic ingenuity as they fight to protect their home and reclaim what was stolen. Ultimately, the Patrol devises a bold plan to infiltrate the machines' galaxy and defeat them using a fleet of their own equipped dark stars, showcasing themes of resilience and ingenuity in the face of overwhelming odds.
