''The Legion of Space'' is a science-fiction novel by the American writer Jack Williamson. It was originally serialized in ''Astounding Stories'' in 1934, then published in book form (with some revisions) by Fantasy Press in 1947 in an edition of 2,970 copies. A magazine-sized reprint was issued by ''Galaxy'' in 1950, with a standard paperback following from Pyramid Books in 1967. The first British edition was published by Sphere Books in 1977. ''Legion'' has been translated into German, French and Italian. It has also appeared in the omnibus ''Three from the Legion'', which compiles the novel and all but one of its sequels.〔(ISFDB publication history )〕 ==Plot background== The story takes place in an era when humans have colonized the Solar System but dare not go farther, as the first extra-solar expedition to Barnard's Star failed and the survivors came back as babbling, grotesque, diseased madmen. These survivors spoke of a gigantic planet, populated by ferocious animals, and of the single city of the evil "Medusae". The Medusae are elephant-sized, four-eyed, flying 'jellyfish' with hundreds of tentacles. The Medusae cannot hear or speak, but communicate with one another via radio waves.
