The Last Two Alive!
by Alfred CoppelThe verdict, thought Aram Jerrold wearily, would be death. The Supreme Council itself would demand it.

The Government of the Thirty Suns would demand his life ... more, if the science of the Security Police were up ..
Flame-Jewel of the Ancients
by Edwin L. GraberThe two Terran super Galactics glided side-by-side in the immensity of the interstellar void.

They knew, absolutely, that no other warcraft in the universe could equal their strength....Jukes, the t..
Sword of Fire
by Robert Emmett McDowellThe Mizar, a glittering needle with stubby, backswept wings, hurtled out of deep space, arced into orbital flight a thousand kilometers above the surface of the planet.

Madmen of Mars
by Erik FennelAll this time we've kept quiet as a whole cageful of mice. And with good reason.

He was unique among Californians in professing absolutely no motion picture ambitions. Once, it is true, a director had stopped him on the street and offered to test him for a featured role, but old Bratton had..
