Professor Halley had perfected his machine for shrinking objects to sub-atomic size, and his trusty assistant, Hale McLaren was ready to make the journey into the sub-atomic universe. His daughter, Shirley, who loved Hale, was also determined to go, and Halley reluctantly agreed. The plan was to bring them back in half an hour, but Halley had made one vital miscalculation... "Out of the Sub-universe" appeared in "Amazing Stories Quarterly," Summer 1928, pages 378 - 381. Roman Frederick Starzl (1899–1976) was an American writer. He, and earlier, his father (John V. Starzl), owned the Le Mars Globe-Post newspaper of Le Mars, Iowa. His writing is largely forgotten now, but he was called a "master" by the pioneer of space opera E. E. "Doc" Smith. Starzl's Interplanetary Flying Patrol, in "The Hornets of Space," may have influenced Smith's Galactic Patrol.
