Subspace Encounter

Subspace Encounter

"Subspace Encounter" is a 1983 science fiction novel by E. E. Smith, a posthumously published sequel to his "Subspace Explorers".

ynopsis

The book describes two "spaces" that exist simultaneously in the universe, each of three spatial dimensions, and each occupied by human beings of roughly equal technological standing. The people in the two "spaces" have no awareness of each other, but each has developed faster-than-light transportation that relies on navigation through a fourth dimension that the two spaces share. Through their joint use of the fourth dimension, psychics (called "psiontists") in the two spaces become aware of each other, and meet to exchange technologies. The residents of one of the spaces use their superior weaponry and psychic abilities to help the residents of the other defeat a Hitler-like leader who plans to kill or enslave all those who do not belong to his "Garshan" race.

The book was published almost twenty years after Smith's death, and edited by Lloyd Arthur Eshbach.
