such as Vargo Statten, Volstead Gridban, Hugo Blayn, Thorton Ayre,
Polton Cross, Geoffrey Armstrong, Dennis Clive, John Cotton,
Ephriam Winiki, Spike Gordon, and many others. He is noted for such
grandly extravagant science fiction as _The Intelligence Gigantic_
and _The Liners of Time, _ "Mathematica," and the Golden Amazon
series. He was so popular that one of his pseudonyms became the
editor of VARGO STATEN'S SCIENCE FICTION MAGAZINE in the 1950's.
His work is noted for its vigor amd wild imagination. He has always
had a substantial cult following and has been popular in
translation around the world.
In the depths of the Milky Way, the Cosmic Crusaders encounter yet
another mysterious planet-this time a world that appears to be a
duplicate of Earth, birthplace of the Golden Amazon Their
investigations uncover a sinister plot by an alien race, the
Denafrone, whose machinations also threaten the Amazon's home
world. The Denafrone have also enslaved another peaceful race,
turning their planet into a scientific devil's workshop. To smash
the Denafrone and save the Earth will take every resource the
Crusaders possess Another thrilling interstellar episode in the
ongoing Saga of the Golden Amazon
At first, it appeared to be a sun, forming in space where none had
existed before. It kindled as an atomic fire, sustaining itself by
the breakdown of fusion energies. Then, even as the Cosmic
Crusaders watched, the newly-created sun was no longer just a ball
of fire: it was gyrating, like a stupendous Catherine Wheel, a
flaming mss spewing filaments from its edges. Then they realized
the amazing truth: they were witnessing the creation of planets,
flaming streamers of incandescent matter that would condense into
worlds In this latest full-length novel, the Golden Amazon and her
fellow Crusaders grapple with the very forces of creation in their
most astounding adventure to date
The Cosmic Crusaders discover a planet whose people are subject to
a baleful influence from outer space that sweeps across their world
once a month, affecting every man, woman, and child. It stirs the
emotions of the sexes against each other: men want only to destroy
women, and women men. Only those with higher types of mind can
resist the mental attack--the less fortunate are left dead or
maimed after the Wave has passed. But when the Crusaders identify
and destroy the apparent source of the problem on a nearby planet,
they inadvertently precipitate an even greater menace. Can this new
threat somehow be overcome? The eleventh exciting space adventure
of the Golden Amazon and her companions
The Cosmic Crusaders find themselves on a truly strange world--a
misfit planet that seems mysteriously cursed. Instead of evolving
naturally from birth to death, it's a world out of step with the
universe, leaping ahead into the future at unexpected moments. With
each 50-year "step," much of the population dies, and the young
replace them as middle-aged individuals. The Crusaders are
suspicious that the adviser to the planet ruler is actually an
alien from another world, and is causing the constant time
dislocations for nefarious purposes. But when he traps the Golden
Amazon and her three companions, sending their spaceship crashing
onto a neighboring world dominated by huge, dinosaur-like
creatures, the Crusaders appear to have met their match. Another
stirring sci-fi adventure by a master storyteller

daughter Viona, she sets off in the Ultra on an exploratory journey
to the stars. Their first mission takes them to the strange worlds
of the two suns, Alpha and Proxima Centauri. Here the Amazon
encounters Mizanu, the embodiment of evil, and her most deadly foe
yet--for the creature is nothing less than a planet-sized,
hypertrophied brain Not even Abna, the master of metaphysics, can
withstand its baleful, crushing mental power. Mizanu threatens to
reach out beyond the Alpha-Proxima Centauri system to engulf the
Earth and all the other inhabited planets of the universe--unless
the Golden Amazon can destroy it first The eighth exciting
adventure in this ongoing saga
To the peoples of Earth, it had seemed the perfect marriage when
Violet Ray Brant--better known as The Golden Amazon--and Abna of
Atlantis were wed in Westminster Abbey. But it was nothing of the
kind, and before long Abna found himself betrayed and marooned on a
satellite of Jupiter, while the Amazon's spaceship had been sent
hurtling far beyond the solar system in reprisal. Taking advantage
of the absence of Earth's greatest protectors, master scientist
Sefner Quorne, another survivor of the Atlanteans, steps in and
takes hypnotic control of the planet using ten disembodied brains
linked together in a gigantic computer. The human race seems doomed
to eternal scientific slavery...unless the TRIANGLE OF POWER can
somehow be re-established Another gripping SF adventure from the
pulp era.
Something is wrong in England. In and around the London area,
people are suddenly becoming bad-tempered, with a rapid increase in
crime and murder, and a clear decline in self-respect. Linked to
this strange behavior is an excavation site, now a mighty smoking
crater emitting clouds of noxious gas that appear to be causing the
sudden change in human behavior. And then, from within the vast
fissure below the crater, there emerge the hideous survivals of a
lost age of monster dinosaurs. It's up to Cliff Brooks, project
engineer, to develop a mighty boring capsule capable of penetrating
deep within the earth, where he hopes to close off the source of
the gas. But when an accident disables his machine a thousand miles
from any source of help, only Herbert the Dinosaur can save day A
rollicking good SF adventure tale, the first in a two-book series.
The sun is dying. Astronomers can see that the Earth will soon
become a frozen planet. All life will vanish from the surface, and
the sea and air will freeze, as the light of the sun dwindles to
that of a full moon. Mankind is forced to retreat underground,
there to try surviving in vast underground habitats--trapped in a
World Beneath Ice. Only one person on Earth has the scientific
knowledge to rekindle the sun--the incredible Golden Amazon, a
woman changed by surgery and genetic engineering into a superwoman.

this the end of humankind? Book One in The Golden Amazon Saga, a
