I have very little patience for fantasy. It always feels like a bit of a cheat. Problems are manufactured without logic and solutions are invented without regard to logic.
I have 21 of Edmond Hamilton's works, though not that one. I'm sure I've read some of his books and short stories, but don't remember. He certainly was no shrinking violet when it came to giving his stories grand names. :)
I didn't realise Leigh Brackett was his wife. I do have the one book they collaborated on though, "Stark and the Star Kings".
Biographies I've read say he's considered one of the original creators of Space Opera, but unlike EE Doc Smith, he managed to adapt to the modern world.

Project Gutenberg has 6 of his tales for free download.
