DONALD A. WOLLHEIM ONCE WROTE:\nTHE HOUSE ON THE BORDERLAND is a classic of science fiction that no one who enjoys great imaginative writing should miss. It is a novel not quite like any other ever written&mdash;the story of an adventure in time and space that literally spans all of creation, proceeds to witness the end of the Earth and its sun, yet returns to the present to face more mysteries.\nWilliam Hope Hodgson, who died in the trenches during the First World War, filled, during his brief and brilliant career, the gap between the period of H. G. Wells and the post-war period that introduced the full flowering of modern science fiction. To read this book, which H. P. Lovecraft praised as the greatest of Hodgson&rsquo;s works, is a truly remarkable and breath-taking experience

Armchair Fiction presents a special paperback edition of Jules Verne's science fiction classic, "Robur the Conqueror." This is a special illustrated edition featuring original interior illustrations, plus a gallery of Jules Verne movie memorabilia, as well as a "Robur the Conqueror" cover gallery. This classic tale is all about the day a lone man conquered the skies. Robur was widely ridiculed for his notions about creating a heavier-than-air flying machine. However, the day came when he was able to prove his skeptics embarrassingly wrong. It was the day of the Albatross—the most astounding piece of machinery ever created. And soon, with this airborne leviathon under his control, Robur set out to become not only the master of the skies, but perhaps even the master of the world itself. When “Robur, the Conqueror,” was first published, Jules Verne was already known for his wild tales of fantastic scientific adventure. In this classic, Verne created an airborne equivalent to his famed Nautilus from “Twenty-Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.” “Robur, the Conqueror” is an amazing tale filled with thrilling excitement and scientific principles far ahead of its time. It is a story that will captivate the reader from beginning to end.

Armchair Fiction presents extra large, fully illustrated editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel is “Death Hunt” by Robert Gilbert. Ube Kinlock came to the planet Maggie for one reason only: to kill the Hog—a monstrous beast that had already killed hundreds of Maggiese citizens. However, when he arrived on Maggie he found a civilization so crude, so strict, and so darned unfriendly that he wound up in jail before his spaceship had barely touched the ground! But with the leniency of a high-ranking official and the aid of a beautiful but rebellious Maggiese hunter, Kinlock soon set out to track the monstrous beast down. He was looking for one last big payday—a final score before retiring. Unfortunately, the Hog had other ideas. Robert E. Gilbert—with only a handful of published works to his credit—is barely remembered in science fiction circles today. But make no mistake about it, Gilbert’s “Death Hunt” (aka “Hunt the Hog of Joe”) is a brilliant piece of sci-fi, combining the best elements of action and adventure with inspired moments of tongue-in-cheek humor. It is a minor classic, not seen in print since 1957. This edition’s second novel is “The Best Made Plans” by veteran science fiction author Everett B. Cole. A planetary Uprising was brewing! There are some people that it is extremely unwise to cross…and the fireworks started when two such people crossed each other! Everett Cole has spun a web of science fiction intrigue in this classic tale that first appeared in the pages of the pages of John W. Campbell’s Astounding Science Fiction magazine, all the way back in 1959.

Armchair fiction presents extra-large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. “Space Platform” by sci-fi master Murray Leinster is the story of Joe Kenmore, who dreamed of Man’s conquest of space and played an essential role in making that dream a reality. Joe helped develop the gyros for the Space Platform, a massive piece of outer space hardware that would soon orbit Earth. However, Joe found there was far more than just the making of these gyros—they had to be correctly installed and, more importantly, protected from spies and saboteurs who would stop at nothing to disrupt the entire project. It would take courage and inventiveness to get the Platform into space; and when that was accomplished, the Moon was just down the road a piece. Murray Leinster’s “Space Platform,” and its sequel "Space Tug" (also available from Armchair Fiction) are more than just well-written sci-fi adventures, they are thrilling accounts of Man’s first excursions into space and the challenges and dangers that went along with them.
