- "We had rays that would kill you by coagulating your proteins as though you were a hard-boiling egg. We had rays that would carry a deadly electrical shock, of course — that was beginner's stuff — poison rays which would turn your blood into furniture polish. We had different types of disintegrator, which either made you vanish completely or turned you into fine dust or pocket-flug: about the only thing they had in common with each other was that they seemed to take quite a few seconds to do the job, which could be a serious defect in a real side-arm. Edmond Hamilton, having heard that matter is really energy and that waves out of step cancel each other, invented a heterodyning ray which blanked you out like an unwanted radio program; the victim disappeared with a loud bang, while the gun itself hummed like an Atwater-Kent loudspeaker. We had rays which drive you insane; rays which would throw you into convulsions; rays which would paralyse you; rays which would melt you down like a tallow candle."
- ― James Blish, More Issues At Hand
