From Villain to Redeemer: Leslie F. Stone’s Journey Across the Void (1931)

An obscure 1931 pulp sequel where moral redemption—not conquest—takes center stage.

This week, I’m talking about a favorite sci-fi story from 1931: “Across the Void” by Leslie F. Stone.

Characters mentioned:

  • Moura-weit of the planet Abrui

  • Elsie Rollins-weiti

  • Ezra-weit

  • Atun Wei of the planet Kal

  • Professor Ezra Rollins

  • Dana Gleason

  • Richard Dorr

Leo Morey cover for Amazing Stories June 1931 issue including part three of “Across the Void.” The illustration shows Moura-weit being carried by evil high priest, Atun Wei on Kal.

My copy of the Robert Hale edition (1971) of “Out of the Void.”
