The Iron Star is a science fiction novel written by John Preston True. The story is set in the future, where humans have colonized other planets and have developed advanced technologies. The main character, Captain David Stark, is a space explorer who is sent on a mission to investigate a strange object that has been detected in space.As he and his crew approach the object, they realize that it is a massive starship that is drifting through space. The ship is made of an unknown metal that is incredibly strong and durable, hence the name Iron Star. The crew boards the ship and discovers that it is populated by a race of intelligent aliens who have been in suspended animation for thousands of years.The aliens are awakened and soon reveal that they are on a mission to find a new home planet, as their own is dying. They ask for Captain Stark's help in finding a suitable planet, and he agrees to assist them. However, they soon discover that there are other alien races who are also searching for a new planet, and they must compete with them to find a new home for the Iron Star's inhabitants.The Iron Star is a thrilling and action-packed adventure that explores themes of exploration, discovery, and the search for a new home. It is a must-read for fans of science fiction and space exploration.In those days a lad was taught to shine up his armour as carefully as now he would be expected to polish his boots, and it was a pleasure to Louis to sit down with sand and buff-leather in the narrow window of the tower, and rub away at the steel until his arm ached. Then when the sunlight trickled over the mesh as brightly as it ever did, he began his scar-hunting. Then he rubbed his eyes with amazement, for scar there was none! Not a link was broken, not a dent. Only on one shoulder lay a thin shadow when the light was right, clearly the score of a swashing blow yet too shallow to be called a scar. What a wonderful thing was this!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
