Aug 23, 2014 at 3:03 comment added Mark Rogers Huh, that's interesting. I'm still reading Skylark Valeron, I haven't got to Skylark DuQuense yet. Its funny how often the hero ends up exterminating people, lol.
Aug 22, 2014 at 22:39 comment added Astrodan Yes, I read quite a few of EE's stories later in the 70s. I've just finished reading [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylark_DuQuesne] Skylark DuQuesne, after someone on another forum pointed out the description at the end of it, of the Chloran race getting exterminated with some 6th order stellar collisions and stars going nova. That concept was similar to the one used in the story I remember, but everything else was quite different.
Aug 22, 2014 at 17:19 comment added Mark Rogers In Skylark Three, the hero Seaton uses rays of the 4th order (or was it 5th?) to destroy the Fenachrome in a very similar manner to what you describe. But there is no mention of possibly hitting earth, so its probably not what your looking for. On a side note, the story is part of a series that represents the first known space opera.
