The Ur-Space Colony Popularization
Islands in Space: The Challenge of the Planetoids
By Dandridge M. Cole & Donald W Cox
In memoriam: Roy Scarfo, whose art appears in this work, died of pancreatic cancer on December 8th of this year.
1964’s Islands in Space: The Challenge of the Planetoids, by Dandridge M. Cole and Donald W. Cox, does not seem to have had many editions; I can only find references to two. However, even if you never saw a copy of Islands, if you were ever a space colonization fan you are very likely to have read books by people who were strongly influenced by Cole and Cox’s work.
