It was published as part of the famous Winston Sci-Fi Series and was the best book of the series. I've read most of Mr. Bova's works over the years, and while this was his first, it is still about the best thing he ever wrote. In later years, he tended to develop the tendency to pad his writing.Star Conquerors, on the other hand, was a great action adventure than spanned the galaxy. When the Terran Empire is invaded by "the Masters", it appears that all is lost. But one man leads a fleet of ships against incredible odds and by genius, luck, new inventions, and indomitable character, overcomes the hordes of invaders and eventually reaches the center of the Galaxy to confront the Masters. There are enough twists and turns to keep you enthralled and the surprise ending is first class.In recent years many of Bova's fans have pleaded for a reprint of the book (printed in 1959 - believed to be less than 10000 copies in existence), but even though he promised to deliver, he has been delaying now for over 5 years since the original promise. Supposedly he had a copy OCRed and it merely needed to be proofed before release (but keep in mind this happened several years ago).Needless to say, many of Mr. Bova's fans are less than thrilled at being treated like second-class citizens.If you are one of the lucky few that read the book during the 60's (published in 1959), then you recall it fondly and would dearly like to read it again.Here's hoping that Mr. Bova will do the right thing in regard to his many fans!LATEST UPDATE: Mr. Bova as released a free pdf copy of Star Conqueors. It is on his website which is is full name with no space between first and last name and then a period and then the com extension. Then scroll to the bottom of the page where it says "Interested in Ben's first book". To the right is a Click Here link to download the pdf.Later Update: For some unknown reason Mr. Bova has now removed the download of the Star Conquerors PDF. Once again his many fans are being disappointed. I still believe this was the best thing he ever wrote. Unlike his more modern novels, this one was fast paced and did not suffer from the padding that seems all too common in current novels.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Read it many, many times By MildCritter I read this book over and over when it was new, and was lucky enough to buy the library bound copy from the library where I had checked it out. You can find amazing old science fiction gems at library sales.This book is essentially a juvenile on the same level as the Nourse and Heinlein juveniles. It's a good story with good characters and all the underpinnings of the style of the day. Its messages still have meaning today.If you haven't read it, it's worth a read because of its historicity and because it's a cracking good story. It has many of the typical faults of a first novel, but so what? It's still a lot of fun.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Star Conquerors By Carolyn F. Rudnick I remember this as the first science fiction book I ever read. It is exciting to return to it 50 years later and recognize how it influenced me. I went into a life of science and administration with a thought that it was noble to do both. I reread the book tonight and felt that same enthusiasm fir challenging the unknown and uncertain that I did as a 12 year old. Many thanks for getting this released again.
