Yeehaw! It may be rather hard to find, I haven't see in reprinted in ages, but look for Lester Del Rey's "The Sky is Falling", which I think was originally published in John. W. Campbell's "Unknown Worlds", the hard-fantasy companion to Astounding Science Fiction, sadly killed by WW-II paper shortages. There was a soft cover digest-mag sized reprint around 1960 in the US. One classic scene has the resurrected engineer hero looking at a piece of the crystal sky-sphere that had fallen, with a glowing dot of star inside the crystal. |
