But the computer is programmed to give information only to those properly trained and qualified to understand it. The Earthman is not.

We Who Survived

Sterling Noel

The snow began on a Saturday…a cold, brooding day in September 2203. The world's leading scientists – grimly aware of the monstrous new age of ice that would close around the Earth and bury the human race alive – had issued their warnings. But the governments had ignored them, issued bland reassurances, and berated the scientists for their alarmist cries of doom. For several years, though the snows started and stopped, the winters grew longer and the days colder. Then one day the snow began – and did not stop!

Asgard's Secret: The Asgard Trilogy, Book One

Brian Stableford

They call it Asgard, the Home of the Gods. Beneath its artificial shell are at least three vast cave-systems, each one the size of an Earth-like world; and beneath those, possibly many more. No one knows how many layers there might be, and no one knows what secrets might be buried down at the «center»–if there is a center. At some time in the distant past, Asgard had suffered a terrible catastrophe. Now its outer layers are cold, its builders presumed dead. Explorers and exploiters from a hundred different worlds and races are scavenging among the ruins–but deep down, there might still be light, warmth, life…and perils unknown. Mike Rousseau was one of the first humans to come to Asgard, decades earlier. Now he's challenged by both friends and foes–and it's hard to tell them apart on this icebound planet. He might also be the one man who can solve the biggest puzzle in the galaxy…if only he can stay alive! The first novel in a thrilling trilogy of science fiction adventure and discovery.

The Dust Destroyer: A Classic Science Fiction Novel

John Russell Fearn

In cars, trains, buses and tube, the one topic of conversation was the black sky and mysterious disappearance of dust. It was remarkable, too, how incredibly well washed and neat everybody looked, from the grimiest labourer to the proprietress of a beauty salon. Dust was on the march, from skins, clothes, streets, buildings – everywhere. Even the slums, rotten with the accumulated dirt of years, were bright and resplendent, something for the train travelers to gaze upon in stunned wonder. This removal of dust seemed to be a boon to mankind – but it turned out to be a deadly scourge, and unless it was stopped millions of people would die!

The Gismo Trilogy MEGAPACK®: The Complete Young Adult Series

Keo Felker Lazarus

Keo Felker Lazarus (1913-1993) was an American writer remembered for her Young Adult novels, of which the «Gismo» series (comprised of The Gismo, The Gismonauts, and A Message from Monaal) was but a small part. She also wrote fantasy, historical, and western books and picture-books for younger readers, such as «The Billy Goat in the Chili Patch», «A Totem for Ti-Jacques», and «Rattlesnake Run.» In «The Gismo,» Jerry Cole finds a mysterious device – which he calls a «gismo» for lack of a better term – that turns out to be of alien origin. It was lost by a spaceship, and the aliens’ leader, Monaal, needs it to communicate with his people. Will Jerry be able to return it, or will the adults prevent it…and ruin our first contact with Monaal’s people? In «The Gismonauts,» the action jumps farther into the future, with Jerry Cole’s grandson, Chris, encountering an alien way station set up by Monaal and his people on the moon. Monaal is still studying Earth. Can Chris keep the aliens’ secret and prove humanity is ready to join the galactic Federation? In «A Message from Monaal,» the aliens have a last test for humanity, and Chris may be the only one who can prove we are ready for galactic citizenship! “The Gismo and its sequels are not well known beyond a generation of American kids who found them in their school classrooms and libraries. They were published for the educational market and were designed to be read by 4th to 8th grade readers in the 1970s and 1980s. (Am I dating myself if I admit to reading–and loving–The Gismo in school?) I don’t think any copies were sold commercially. That doesn't stop this whole series from being exciting, fun books which hold up exceptionally well to this day.” –John Gregory Betancourt
