I have, and have read, other Edmond Hamilton paperbacks in my youth, so I bought Doomstar at my local Friends of the Library Bookstore. Mine is the January 1966 first printing, a mass-market paperback, so I had to be very careful while reading it. I didn't want to cause any pages to break free of the glue and fall out.

The book opens with our protagonist, Johnny Kettrick, at some night club with a woman named Sandra. I disliked her from the first words out of her mouth, but I disliked Kettrick as soon as the second page let readers know that he's been dating her for two years and he picked her because '... she was everything he despised in a woman and so he could have both the present flesh and the untouched memory.' Even though he's ashamed and realizes it was a shabby trick to play on her, I still dislike him for doing it. What happens to him in chapters three and four serve him right.… (more)

Just wanted something v light to read, this fits the bill. I mean it's a superman/batman comic series from before they got super serious, it's fun, sometimes goofy, nothing special but good comfort food type reading.

Ma niente si muoveva in mezzo alle stelle. Assolutamente niente.
Il tempo trascorse. I superbi soli erano al loro posto da moltissimo tempo, e non avevano fretta di veder morire un uomo. (18)

Per quanto? - domando' Chane.
Voglio dire, per quanto tempo sono rimasti sullo scafo?
E' una domanda stupida - disse Labdibdin.
Quanto e' lungo il tempo? Secondo il loro calendario, o secondo il nostro? Anni, decenni, o forse soltanto mesi. (105)

Dilullo cerco' di indovinare i pensieri di Chane. L' espressione non lo tradiva mai. Gli occhi neri sembravano sempre gli stessi, vigili a tutte le sensazioni, interessati a tutto, ma mai introspettivi. Forse quello era il modo migliore di vivere. Prendere le cose come venivano, giorno per giorno, minuto per minuto, senza mai preoccuparsi, ne' scavare mai sotto la semplice superficie delle cose. E' solo quando si comincia a pensare che tutto diventa complicato. (108)

Il Libero Passaggio era, in sostanza, una forza che permetteva di liberare il modello elettroencefalografico della mente dall'involucro del corpo e inviarlo a velocita' incredibili dovunque volesse andare. Per di piu', conservando la coscienza e le facolta' di osservazione. (202)

Worth reading as a piece of history, not otherwise very interesting.
