Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel, “The Sinister Invasion” is an exciting adventure classic by one of the science fiction genre’s most beloved authors, Edmond Hamilton. It was strange…how easy it was to step right out of your own life, right out of the familiar Earth you’d always known, and into a cosmic mystery! That’s what happened to Ross Birrel, and it all started by opening the door to his own apartment! He soon found himself in the role of a most unlikely undercover agent—an agent with one specific purpose: to uncover an alien spy ring right here on Earth. Only it wasn’t that simple, and Birrel soon discovered there was an alien threat far more sinister than anyone on Earth could have imagined. But the key to the mystery depended on whether or not he could trust a female alien—a beautiful woman from beyond the stars who might be a friend to Earth…or its worst enemy. The second novel is “Operation Terror” by sci-fi great Murray Leinster. The radar complex had picked up the strange object in space just as it neared the Earth’s surface. It was described as “an object of considerable size.” The impact of its landing at Boulder Lake Park, Colorado was felt on every seismograph around the world. Then, the first reports began to trickle in: there were “creatures” on board—creatures who soon left their ship and began exploring the area…Where was the ship from, and what was the quest of the strange visitors—these visitors who were armed with a terrifying paralysis ray that blinded its victims, filling their nostrils with a reptilian odor of the jungle? Only one man in the area could hope to solve the mystery of these aliens—aliens who had come to call Earth “theirs.”

Armchair Fiction presents extra large paperback editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel, “The Ship from Infinity,” is a wonderful deep space thriller. What were the secrets of the “death ship?” Deep in the void it lurked, a mysterious giant of metal, shaped into a vessel so vast it was beyond belief. And those who saw it—died! But the inner treasures and technological secrets of this massive, dead spaceship were thought to be worth incalculable wealth, and an alliance of space salvagers would take any risk to lay first claim on her—even at the cost of their lives. This terrific Edmond Hamilton tale is a true forgotten gem, filled with the kind of action and intrigue that made him one of the most beloved science fiction authors of the 20th Century. The second novel is “Takeoff.” Next stop…the moon! Out in the remote California desert Mike Novak was sitting on a powder keg. He was working on the biggest thing since the atom bomb! Hired to build a mock-up fuel tank for a mock-up spaceship, Mike discovered he was looking at a design that could actually work! A design that would soon turn his life upside down. Here is a wildly exciting story torn from newspaper headlines—the story of man’s first triumphant step into outer space. It is an unforgettable, nerve-clenching novel of the first moon-rocket and the men who dared to build it—told by one of the great masters of science fiction…C. M. Kornbluth.

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel is“The Other Side of the Moon” by one of science fiction’s all time greats, Edmond Hamilton. It was literally an invasion from the dark side… As a team of geologists explored deep in the Yucatan jungle, they found themselves near the ruins of an ancient Mayan temple. It was an amazing sight. But what they didn’t understand about these crumbling ruins was that they were also the site of an ancient alien spaceport—a spaceport that was still active. They soon found themselves attacked by alien raiders from the dark side of the moon! One of the geologists, Richard Carson, had hidden in the shadows, barely escaping with his life. He watched, horrified, as his colleagues were all horribly slain, with one lone survivor, Dr. Howland, being taken prisoner by the alien beasts. Howland then found himself with a one-way ticket back to the moon, where a lost race of turtle-like moon beings planned the eventual conquest of the Earth, a planet they had once ruled, eons in the past. The second novel is “Secret Invasion” by veteran sci-fi author, Walter Kubilius. Could the Martian invasion be stopped? There was no question that the Martians wanted to annihilate the entire human race. After all, had Earth not totally devastated their planet over two hundred years earlier? And the Martians, though practically immortal, were nevertheless a dying breed, unable to procreate their own race. So the Martians, thirsting for revenge and in need of a new home, launched an insidious invasion—not fought with giant machines of war, but with a new method that seemed to transform loyal Earthmen into raving traitors. These traitors were called “Suspects” and it was the job of Earth’s security force, Public Defense, to ferret them out and eliminate them. The problem was that no one on Earth really understood the enormity of the problem. Yet Earth had the power to wipe out the entire Martian race by simply pushing a button. The question was—would they have the courage to actually push it?

Armchair Fiction presents extra large paperback editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel, “Legion of Lazarus,” is a grand sci-fi adventure by none other than Edmond Hamilton, author of “The Star Kings.” There was a new way of executing criminals. No longer did they strap a condemned man into a chair and shoot a lethal electric charge through his body. No, this was the future. And being expelled from an air lock into deep space was the legal method of execution. But it was also the only way a man could qualify for…”The Legion.” The second novel, “Star Hunter,” written by Andre Norton, is an exciting depiction of an interplanetary safari. This was going to be a hunting party, but what were they really sent to find? Somewhere in that other world jungle…a man was planted.
