A prolific author of hundreds of stories in the fields of SF,
fantasy and westerns, E.C. Tubb, was best-known for his epic
33-volume Dumarest saga, a galaxy-spanning adventure series. Also
active for many years in Fandom, he was both a founder member of
the British Science Fiction Association and the first editor of its
critical journal Vector. This omnibus collects two of his out of
print classics, 'The Extra Man' and 'The Space-born', and
posthumous novel, 'Fires of Satan', completed before his death and
published now for the first time.
Fasten your seatbelts for an anthology of turbulent tales curated
by Stephen King and Bev Vincent. This exciting new collection,
perfect for airport or aeroplane reading, includes an original
introduction and story notes for each story by Stephen King, and
brand new stories from Stephen King and Joe Hill. Stephen King
hates to fly. Now he and co-editor Bev Vincent would like to share
this fear of flying with you. Welcome to Flight or Fright, an
anthology about all the things that can go horribly wrong when
you're suspended six miles in the air, hurtling through space at
more than 500 mph and sealed up in a metal tube (like - gulp! - a
coffin) with hundreds of strangers. All the ways your trip into the
friendly skies can turn into a nightmare, including some we'll bet
you've never thought of before... but now you will the next time
you walk down the jetway and place your fate in the hands of a
total stranger. Featuring brand new stories by Joe Hill and Stephen
King, as well as fourteen classic tales and one poem from the likes
of Richard Matheson, Ray Bradbury, Roald Dahl, Dan Simmons, and
many others, Flight or Fright is, as King says, "ideal airplane
reading, especially on stormy descents... Even if you are safe on
the ground, you might want to buckle up nice and tight." Book a
flight for this terrifying new anthology that will have you
thinking twice about how you want to reach your final destination.

Stanson's scheme was audacious in its scope: highjack a space
liner, kill the passengers and crew, and then live off the rich
pickings for years to come. They won't even have to leave the
well-stocked craft--and the security forces can never locate them
in the void between the worlds. But Leahry, another ex-con, knows
that everything has to go "just right" for the plan to succeed; and
when things begin to go awry, the only option is to flee the ship
in a rescue pod. The pair still have enough loot to live well--but
if two can live comfortably, why, just one can live very well
indeed Here are four of Tubb's finest future crime
stories--logical, relentless, and utterly without mercy Plus, the
author's never-before-published Guest of Honor speech at the 1970
World Science Fiction Convention
