Cosmic Fusion

Gordon Eklund

Cosmic Fusion was originally written between January 1973 and September 1982, a mammoth 300,000-word epic novel of «science fiction, sex, and death.» Unpublished due to an editorial change at the original publishing company, Eklund has now revised it for its first publication. As he writes in his introduction: «Cosmic Fusion was intended to be the book that broke me out of [science fiction's midlist]. It was the Big Ambitious Novel I was going to write because I wanted to write it…» So here it is, a vintage tale written by Gordon Eklund at the peak of his power as a writer, never before seen…until today!

Joseph Green was born during the Great Depression and grew up in the segregated South, in a tiny little town in Northwest Florida. He joined The Boeing Company in 1959, then five years later accepted a job at the Kennedy Space Center, where he worked for 31 years. He served for six years as document specialist and member of the launch team on the Atlas-Centaur program. He supported the Apollo Program from beginning to end, including (with then-wife Juanita) providing pre-launch parties for the science fiction community on all moon landing missions. He also supported the Space Shuttle program from its beginning until he retired from NASA (as Deputy Chief, Education Office) at the end of 1996. At NASA one specialty of Joseph Green was preparing fact sheets, brochures, and other semi-technical publications for the general public, explaining complex scientific and engineering concepts in layman’s language. He wrote over 20 science papers for NASA and contractor executives. As a part-time freelancer, he published five novels and about 90 short works, the latter primarily in Analog, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and original anthologies. This volume selects the cream of his short fiction and features new introduction to all of the stories. A great volume for fans of classic science fiction!

Heller's Leap

Группа авторов

There is only one way to reach Iola, where an interstellar distress signal had originated. For Iola belongs to a small group of stars cut off from the rest of the galaxy by the close presence of an all-enveloping black hole. The only way to reach Iola is through that timeless-spaceless cosmic warm. Klaus Heller answered that call. He leapt, clad in a special self-sustaining spacesuit, through the black hole. He returned to the world intact, silent, and secretive. And was found murdered where none could have reached him. Ian Wallace's classic novel is a combination of scientific paradox, social innovation, and super detection. Meet Claudine St. Cyr, future sleuth extraordinary, and meet again the mastermind Croyd. Confront with them the murder of a hero, the strange doom of his sister, and the plotted assassination of an entire planet!

The Alien MEGAPACK®: 25 Modern and Classic Science Fiction Stories

Richard Wilson

Aliens have been a major theme in science fiction literature from the very beginnings of the genre…though they seem to have morphed over the decades from humanoids (six-limbed and blue though they might be!) to the utterly incomprehensible to noncorporeal energy beings – and everything in between! This collection focuses on aliens as depicted in many different forms over many different decades. While in no way comprehensive – I'm not sure a «definitive» book of alien stories could ever be assembled – we think this one is, at the very least, a lot of fun. Included are: THROUGH MUD ONE PICKS A WAY, by Tim Sullivan LABORATORY, by Jerome Bixby BEULAH, by Talmage Powell ALIEN STILL LIFE, by John Gregory Betancourt DEAD RINGER, by Lester del Rey ESCAPE TO EARTH, by Manly Banister LESSON IN SURVIVAL, by Frank Belknap Long SCIENTIFIC METHOD, by Chad Oliver THE BEES OF DEATH, by Robert Moore Williams THE BIG FIX, by Richard Wilson THE CARNIVORE, by Katherine MacLean THE LARGE ANT, by Howard Fast "THIS WORLD IS OURS!" by Emil Petaja RAINBOW JADE, by Gardner E. Fox A CITY NEAR CENTAURUS, by Bill Doede THE MENACE FROM ANDROMEDA, by Arthur Leo Zagat & Nat Schachner THE BIRDS OF LORRANE, by Bill Doede CONES, by Frank Belknap Long ALIEN OFFER, by Al Sevcik THE GOOD NEIGHBORS, by Edgar Pangborn THE SOUTH WATERFORD RUMPLE CLUB, by Richard Wilson THE TEACHER FROM MARS, by Eando Binder BELIEVE IN TANGIBLES, by Everil Worrell A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE, by Charles V.
