Classical science fiction awaits the reader with two complete
novels.The fate of Mankind and Earth hangs in the balance with
these tales of the Apocalypse: 1.....The United States and Russia
stand at the brink of war, Russia's warlords make a strange
alliance with the underworld-----and disaster faced all the
democratic peoples of the Earth! Unless there were really Gods in
space! 2.....Armageddon.....During the history of every planet in
the universe, a time arrives when the final battle of Armageddon
must be fought. The participants, however, aren't native to it! Two
tales of impending doom to inspire and excite your imagination!
Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science
fiction double novels. The first novel in this edition is grand
old-fashioned space adventure, "Outpost on the Moon" by Joslyn
Maxwell. George Marland was amazed at Barton Wiley's startling
discovery-the creation of a new kind of matter that was able to
cancel out the effects of its own gravity. This soon led to Wiley's
creation of something even more phenomenal-a revolutionary
spacecraft, capable of deep space flight and landing on other
planets. It wasn't long before Marland and Wiley were headed toward
Earth's nearest celestial neighbor...the moon But when they landed
on the barren Lunar surface they were astonished to find that they
were not alone. A secret outpost had been established there by a
team of Earth scientists several years earlier. The outpost was
headed by perhaps the most brilliant man alive, an odd-looking
scientist named Forscher, whose dream to reach out to the other
planets would soon become a reality...The second novel is another
forgotten gem by veteran sci-fi writer S. J. Byrne, "Potential
Zero." It had been an amazing event. The Vanyans had journeyed
across space and landed their flying saucers right in the middle of
Washington, D. C. Their ships had been surrounded by every
conceivable piece of weaponry the military had in its possession.
But the Vanyans had come bearing generous gifts and knowledge for
all of humanity. And the people of Earth, at first, received these
interplanetary visitors-and their gifts-with open arms. But as it
is with human nature, such a show of unadulterated kindness
prompted many toward fear...and distrust...and eventually hatred.
Soon men were asking questions: What was behind the Vanyans
seemingly unselfish good will? And what would they ask from Earth
in return? But the biggest question of all was how would mankind
treat their newfound friends from space?
