"The opening of the collection presents "Beyond the Heaviside Layer" by Capt. S. P. Meek, which follows the character Bond, a reporter assigned to cover the ambitious experiments of Jim Carpenter, a controversial scientist attempting to penetrate the Heaviside layer—a mysterious field thought to be impenetrable by conventional means.
