Islands of Space was the second in his Arcot, Morey, and Wade trilogy. Originally published in the spring 1931 edition of Amazing Stories Quarterly, it was later published in book form in 1957.
After the events of The Black Star Passes, Arcot, Morey, Wade, and Fuller look for new challenges. Creating a spaceship that can exceed the speed of light, the four of them set out to explore other galaxies.

Work Description
In the thrilling follow-up to "The Black Star Passes," John W. Campbell, Jr. again takes his team of young scientist-explorers on a voyage to the outer reaches of the universe - culminating in a space battle of epic proportions! Classic space opera, here is a tale from the Golden Age of Science Fiction!"Arcot, Wade, Morey, and their computer, Fuller, put together a ship which will travel faster than light . . . they give us what may have been the first space-warp drive. The concept was simple; to make it plausible wasn't - unless you were John Campbell." -- Astounding Science Fiction
