When the Dream Dies

THE ROBOT ROAD TO FARAWAY His was a dream few spacemen ever saw come true. Alan Kemp was an obsessed man - driven by the realization of a dream into the black emptiness of the stars. In a rebuilt, second-hand, obsolete ship, Kem and his three comrades took of - determined to set up a shuttle between the planets at the Rim of the Galaxy. But trouble - in the form of two lost colonies, one inhabited by giant mechanical insects and the other ruled by the descendants of a murderous pirate - threatened. Kemp's crew began to wonder: just how much will a man sacrifice to realize a dream? * Cover art by Peter Elson First published in 1961 by Ace Books under a title Rendezvous on a Lost World
