Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science
fiction double novels. The first novel, "Time Trap," is by former
Hugo Award nominee, Rog Phillips. It was a doorway into the
future... When two well-known nuclear engineers crossed a common
telephone with the latest kind of nuclear induction units, they got
a lot more than they bargained for. In fact they got something that
even Alexander Graham Bell could have never imagined in his wildest
dreams-a telephone with a direct connection into the future And
there was a voice on the other end of that connection...a human
voice. But just whom did this voice belong to and what did her
whispered words of warning really mean? The two astonished
engineers, Joe Ashford and Ray Bradley, were soon knee-deep in the
creation of a time machine that could carry them into the distant
future, a future where the United States was threatened by a
horrible three-eyed menace from Earth's past. The second novel is a
terrific tale by Alexander Blade, "The Cosmic Destroyer." There was
big time woman trouble in outer space. Sam Barron and the crew of
his spaceship returned to their home planet, only to find
themselves jeered at, shot at, and made to feel unwelcome in the
loudest, angriest way possible. Death seemed an inevitable outcome
should they decide to stick around. What Sam and his crew soon
found out was that all Earthmen had been exiled. The reason why?
One lone man had decided to "rescue" a young (and ever so lovely)
priestess of the Amazon women. However, unknown to this female
opportunist was that his fair priestess also possessed an
incredible power-a power potent enough to destroy an entire galaxy
So Sam and his crew realized they had two choices: Leave home
forever...or find the girl and bring her back. But finding the girl
was not an easy task due to the assassins, mercenaries, and other
parties in pursuit of the impetuous priestess. Who would find her
first? And who, if anyone, could convince her to go back?
The premiere issue of "Science Stories" magazine (October, 1953),
