Fifteen-year-old Dick Murdock travels aboard the African Star to the Moon, to meet his father Dr. Paul Murdock—Chief Astronomer at the Lunar Observatory.

En route, the African Star finds the hulk of a spaceship hanging in space, blasted open with all hands killed. It’s the work of space pirates, led by the malevolent Basilisk!

Dick applies himself to uncovering who—or what—the Basilisk is? The stakes are enormously high; while prospecting for lunar tourmalines high on a lunar cliff with Crazy Sam Baxter, someone tries to kill him with a giant falling rock.

And that’s just the beginning. Dick risks everything to protect his father, and save the life of everyone at the Observatory.

In a dark, lonely cavern far below the lunar surface—Dick will confront the Basilisk. And no-one is there to help…

First published in 1951, Vandals of the Void was written for young adults.

5,0 von 5 Sternen Brings back memories of reading this as a small child.
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 13. Dezember 2023
of all the books on sci-fi I read as a small child, this is one of the ones I liked the best. Getting it again and reading it has been great. You will love the old-style space travel in our solar system.

5,0 von 5 Sternen Fantastic book
Rezension aus Kanada am 6. April 2022
All his stuff is good. while this may not be his strongest work, Araminta Station and the Demon Princes series (all by Jack Vance) are his best work. Vandals of the Void is aimed at young adults and lacks the menacing sense of danger of Vance's later books. Highly recommended.
These are my favorite Amazon purchases:
- 2000 Piece Puzzle Ice Dragon by Akumorain
- Icon by Frank Frazetta
- Infinite Worlds by Vincent DiFate
- Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 31. Januar 2013
Vandals of the Void is an early Jack Vance SF novel that was written for the Winston Science Fiction series; which was a set of 35 juvenile novels written by a selection of popular SF authors of the time.

The book follows the adventures of Dick Murdock, a 15 year old inquisitive boy from Venus, as he investigates the strange disappearances of space crafts travelling through the solar system. The action takes place in the near future, where man has colonised the Moon, Venus and Mars. Space piracy has begun to occur in the under-policed frontier that is the solar system, and to that end the relatively new Space Navy has been established.

Whilst travelling to the Moon to stay with his father--who is an astronomer working at the Observatory--Dick learns about the mysterious character known only as "the Basilisk", and a seemingly related series of events where space pirates have attacked passenger ships travelling between the planets. The plot then gradually unfolds as the identity of the Basilisk is uncovered and the space pirates schemes are revealed.

Since this book was written for the young adult market, it feels very different from other Vance books; it is missing the characteristic dialogue and rich prose that graces most of his other works. Yet still, there are some hints and elements of the typical Vance style in this early novel, particularly the theme of identity, which is explored more thoroughly in The Demon Princes series.

The only character who is really fleshed out throughout the story is the protagonist, Dick Murdock. Besides Dick, there are some intriguing characters, the most interesting of which was Crazy Sam, who provided some moments of humour that perhaps echo Vance's usual style. The strongest aspect of the book was definitely the fast moving plot; from start to finish this is quite an enjoyable read, never really slowing down at any point.

Vandals of the Void is quite a rare and probably often disregarded Vance novel--due to its lack of time in print and it being written for the young adult market--but it is definitely worth a read for fans of Vance's works.

4,0 von 5 Sternen Vandals of the Void -- Going Where No Man Has Gone Before
Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 21. Oktober 2010
One of the first space science fiction novels I ever read way back in 1969 in 8th grade. It ushered a love for space science fiction into my life. I still regard the book as one of the best. Love to see it placed on Middle School reading lists today. Should be made into a movie.

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 29. November 2020
Very early book by Vance, written for a young reader. Interesting to see some of his ideas developing. Ideas that emerge in later books more fully developed.
If you like Vance, this is worth reading.
