“Science will conquer—always! And Tarrano is science incarnate.” — Ray Cummings In a future where planets are connected by thought waves and civilization sprawls across the stars, one man rises with terrifying ambition. Tarrano the Conqueror tells the story of a brilliant but ruthless dictator whose lust for power ignites a galaxy-wide war. Earth, Venus, and Mars stand on the edge of obliteration as tyrannical genius collides with the last hope for freedom. With mind-control, planetary diplomacy, and breathtaking battles across the void, Ray Cummings delivers a sci-fi epic that foreshadowed the great space operas of the 20th century. First published in 1930, this prophetic tale explores the dark potential of technology and the human thirst for domination.
