Three complete Sci Fi novels with Table of Contents, About the Author, and illustrations. This edition is optimized for the Kindle. TWO PLANETS CLASH FOR LUNAR TREASURE - Gregg Haljan was aware that there was a certain danger in having the giant spaceship Planetara stop off at the moon to pick up Grantline's special cargo of moon ore. For that rare metal - invaluable in keeping Earth's technology running - was the target of many greedy eyes. But nevertheless he hadn't figured on the special twist the clever Martian brigands would use. So when he found both the ship and himself suddenly in their hands, he knew that there was only one way in which he could hope to save that cargo and his own secret - that would be by turning space-pirate himself and paying the BRIGANDS OF THE MOON back in their own interplanetary coin. Here is a science-fiction classic, as exciting and ingenious as only a master of super-science could write.

One of the most historically significant Twentieth Century science fiction series ever published is at last collected. A pioneer in pulp science fiction, Ray Cummings inspired an entirely-new fiction genre with his influential story originally published in 1919, The Girl in the Golden Atom, which introduced the world to a series of short stories and novels known as his “Matter, Space and Time” range. This suite of stories featured the Scientific Club: a group of New York-based socialites of revolving membership who either recounted these tales of fantastic science—or were directly involved in these tales which originally appeared in the top magazines of the 1920s: All Story Weekly, Argosy, Detective Story Magazine, Flynn’s, and Science and Invention, among others. This collection assembles all of the Scientific Club stories, sourced directly from their original magazine appearances… most of which have never before been reprinted. In addition, this deluxe edition includes all of Cummings’ Scientific Club stories which appeared exclusively in the United Kingdom. It also gathers the later Scientific Club stories from a brief revival in the mid-1930s. No stone has been left unturned for this edition: two hitherto-unknown Scientific Club stories were discovered, and these have been included, along with 26 other stories. And among the many bonus features is a rare, alternate, early version of one of the Scientific Club stories. Rounded out by vintage illustrations by Virgil Finlay, Frank R. Paul, Norman Saunders, Amos Sewell, Modest Stein, and Lawrence Sterne Stevens, and with an all-new introduction by Will Murray, The Complete Tales of the Scientific Club is a book one hundred years in the making. The Complete Tales of the Scientific Club (Deluxe Edition) by Ray Cummings contains the following stories: “The Girl in the Golden Atom” “The Other Man’s Blood” “The People of the Golden Atom” “The Thought-Girl” “The Other Road” “The Peppermint Test” “A Dark-Room Conviction” “The Man Who Mastered Time” “Telling What He Knew” “When Rosa Confessed” “Poisoned Harmony” “What Thought Did” “The Murder in the Pool” “The Man in the Bath” “Manufactured Evidence” “The Murder of Maria Vicente” “Memories of Guilt” “The Mind Beyond Control” “Ashes of Guilt” “The Encyclopedic Sleuth” “The Curious Case of Adrian Lloyd” “Light of Betrayal” “A Bar of Poisoned Licorice” “What the Typewriter Told” “The House of Doomed Brides” “In the Murderer’s Brain” “X, the Murderer” “The One-Eyed Man” “The Science of Time-Travel”

"That set of stamps the murdered man had been mounting in his book when someone knifed him was worth dough. Anyone could have turned it over for a small fortune. Yet, the only pasteboard missing from the set was the cheapest single stamp in the lot!"

Advent is a season of expectant waiting and preparation for both the celebration of the Nativity of Christ at Christmas and the return of Christ at the Second Coming. It traditionally encompasses the four Sundays leading up to Christmas and is centered around the four themes of hope, peace, love, and joy. This Christmas Presence Advent devotional is a little longer than just those four weeks. It is a forty-one day journey. The number “forty” shows up often in the Bible, commonly in contexts dealing with judgment or testing. Forty-one often represents victory or an end to the trial or testing. The Forty-One series guides you past judgment to the deliverance, past the testing to the testimony. These forty-one days of Advent readings will help you and your family prepare your hearts for the celebration of Christ's Nativity and the anticipation of His Return! For Christians all around the world, Advent is a season of waiting. Individually and collectively we wait for the day to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Advent is clearly tied to the coming of Christ, but what if we began to see more than just a celebration of Christmas, “The First Advent”... What if we anchored our hope in a future glance? Yes, we look forward to Christmas as a reminder of Christ’s first coming in the manger in Bethlehem, but few Christians invest mental energy in anticipation of His second coming in the clouds as the judge of the world. The word advent itself means “arrival” or “an appearing or coming into place.” And so this season of Advent should be a time when we also wait with great anticipation for the ultimate Jesus’ Second Coming! His arrival at Bethlehem changed everything and His promise of return secures our hope. In this time of waiting the experience might be different from household to household and believer to believer. For some, Advent is an experience of joy, of peace, of love while others desperately long for the same. Some will experience a time of family gatherings, festive meals, renewing friendships, and the reunion of relationships, while others experience empty baskets and empty chairs, separation, brokenness, and loneliness. Isolation and separation have marked the past year. Pandemic quarantine has brought about a nagging sense of loneliness and disconnection. However, isolation and loneliness are not modern-day problems. They are as old as human relationships and they are by-products of a much deeper issue than a pandemic...they are rooted in sin. When Adam and Eve rebelled against God, their first inclination was to hide. Simply put, sin separates. But separation was never God’s intent. The story of Scripture begins and ends with the presence of God. God's desire and His design is to dwell with His people. In the book of Genesis, Eden is the first couple’s home but, more importantly, it is God’s sanctuary—the garden temple where the Creator and his image-bearers relate (Gen 3:8). However, their disobedience cut them off from God, Who is the very source of life. Death entered. And so, people felt the ache of separation. They felt a longing to be in His Presence. They experienced a sense of exile. And that’s where Jesus steps into history and therein lies the hope of His Arrival! His Presence equals hope! This sentiment was captured in the Christmas carol, O’ Holy Night... Long lay the world in sin and error, pining, 
’Til He appeared and the soul felt it's worthA thrill of hope, the weary world rejoicesFor yonder breaks a new and glorious morn’! Emmanuel, also called the Christ, changed the world.

Alan Blair and his beautiful fiancée Dora are brought to the future by the lecherous Groat who cures her blindness and then proposes to start a new race with Dora. Tells of the politics and death that walked the corridors of the spaceship WANDERER.

A doctor is not supposed to use his knowledge to slay. Yet there came a time when this small-town medico had to operate with... short story excerpt Lots of things, particularly unpleasant ones, can get crowded into an hour. I’ve had it happen to me often, but never quite like that hour which began at about midnight, one evening last summer. And I never thought I’d have occasion to kill a man. Every doctor worries that sometime he might make a little mistake, or even just an error of judgment; his patient would die—and the doctor would forever after blame himself. But this wasn’t anything like that. I wanted to kill this fellow, and I did. I can’t say I’m exactly sorry, but it gives you a queer feeling just the same. I was alone in my office, that summer night. I live in a little stucco house near the edge of Pleasant Grove Village, with my office and reception room occupying about half its lower floor. My wife and young daughter were away for a week at the beach. I was alone on the premises, that night at midnight. I’d had quite a tough day at the hospital—two operations, one of which had turned out to be more serious than I had anticipated, and a long steady grind of routine calls that had kept me going until about eleven-thirty. I had just decided to go to bed when a car stopped outside. Hurried footsteps came up the walk; my night bell rang.

Retired and rusticating Pete McLean, former policeman, sees something new in crime-fighting in a rural setting! short story excerpt My name's Pete McLean, and I’ve been mixed up in a few gunfights in my time as a member of the police force in a big city. But when a fellow gets to be seventy, even though he’s still hale and hearty, the idea of taking things easy is pretty attractive. So I retired and brought my granddaughter Effie along to this quiet little Vermont place. Effie, who is twenty-three, was married at twenty, and after about a year she had to call it quits. After her divorce, she came back to me; so she was in the mood, too, for peace and quiet. You can rusticate grand up here with the Green Mountains all around. If that’s what you want. It came hard for me, at first. You know, the captain of a precinct in a big city gets used to action. The nearest village is Hewlett Corners, hidden from us behind a hill. There’s nothing here but woods, a field, a brook, and an undulating white stretch of highway with our little house beside it. It didn’t take me long to discover that farming wasn’t in my line. I had to do something, so this being one of the main highways through Rutland, I put in a little gas station. The new cars were all coming in now; there was quite a bit of traffic and I did nicely.
