He must be high , you say. Your best friend is one of them! Discover what happens when a handful of brave men and women decide to pit their puny forces against the might of Earth's secret masters and the governments they control! You will find romance, action, and daring speculation in this lost classic, in its first ever book publication!
Two masterpieces from the pages of the Clayton Astounding Stories , and his most famous novel. The Girl in the Golden Atom was the author's debut work of SF, a groundbreaking tale of romance and warfare inside a miniature world visible only through the most powerful microscope. You'll also see a pair of novels from the legendary Astounding: In book one, research scientist Joseph Burke and his secretary Sandy Lund discover their love for each other and plan to marry, when strange signal from an unknown asteroid puts their passion on hold.
The alien message screams of doom for Earth. When the two lovers join a courageous crew of humans using a scientific breakthrough to reach the asteroid, what they find upsets their world even more than the screaming messages! In book two, TV producer Jed Cochrane sets out to cover the discovery of a faster-than-light drive, then faster than you could say "Einstein," Jed finds himself trapped inside a spacecraft with his kooky secretary and a reluctant psychiatrist, being hurled far beyond the confines of the Solar System.
In book three, Joe Kenmore has a simple-sounding assignment: Deliver supplies and atomic weapons to the new U.
But physics and enemy agents place seemingly impossible obstacles in his way! He was one of the most distinguished writers associated with John W. Campbell's Astounding Science Fiction and the golden age of the sf pulps. A unique anthology of time-tested shudder-stories about a unique breed of women who "refused to take death lying down"—available exclusively to eBook readers. Though they may all be siblings beneath the skin and beneath the soil of the graveyard!
Though most imbibe their blood the traditional way, one—"The Good Lady Ducayne"—prefers to acquire her nourishment through more scientific means. Another doesn't even drink blood at all; her approach to draining the life from her victims is somewhat more direct but we think you'll agree that "Luella Miller" deserves the appellation "vampire" every bit as much as any of the rest.
Some inhabit ancient European castles with bloodlines that stretch back into history "Schloss Wappeburg" , others like "Mrs. Amworth" are freshly-minted, dwelling in the house right across the street. Some are reached by automobile "The Dark Castle" ; others lie far back in time in the late s "Wake not the Dead".
Some joined the legions of the undead via the standard methods, like suicide "The Blood is the Life" , while still others owe their existence to very unusual means indeed "Placide's Wife". There is one thing these frightful female fiends have in common, however, besides their fangs: Once you've met them, you will never forget them! This volume contains the final two stories in Nebula Award nominee writer Ross Rocklynne's lost pulp science fiction series, Hallmeyer, Destroyer of Worlds.
As with the first volume of this series, all the stories are reprinted for the first time in more than sixty years. The second Hallmeyer tale in this volume, "The Bubble Dwellers," has the distinction of being both the only novel-length work in the series and the final story, bringing the saga to an unexpectedly satisfying conclusion.
But never, in even his wildest dreams, had he thought that to fulfill his mission he would have to murder the woman he loved. Then in his final adventure, "The Bubble Dwellers", Hallmeyer finds the perfect woman for the happy ending he needs—if she doesn't kill him first! The hell-planet of Vulcan had spawned a deadly menace that might entrap the civilized worlds.

Only Sydney Hallmeyer could halt that force, only he could stop the fiendish Zondat—and he was helpless, a slave laborer of the man he fought, condemned for life to Vulcan's depths! For the first time since their original appearance in the legendary pulp Planet Stories in the early s, here are the three novelettes that launched the adventures of Sidney Hallmeyer, interstellar agent—one of the era's most trail-blazing series—now, together in the first of two single novels.
In essence, Hallmeyer is a scientific secret agent with a license to kill—entire cultures and worlds! If needed or if so ordered, when they stand in the way of Earth's territorial expansion and dream of empire. In fact, Hallmeyer is most often instructed to terminate utopias—with prejudice. In "Exiles of the Desert Star," for instance, his assignment, as the original magazine blurb announced, is "Murder.
