Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel, "The Star Hunter" is another grand space thriller by legendary sci-fi author, Edmond Hamilton. One weapon to rule the whole galaxy-that's what was at stake. A colossal weapon never-before dreamed of. A weapon so powerful it could send planets crashing into their suns. If it fell into the wrong hands it could mean disaster on a galactic scale. And it was now up to Hugh Mason to insure its destruction. The scientist who had created this monstrous weapon had fled to the space-rubble infected Marches of Outer Space. But Mason faced certain death if he ventured into these outlaw-controlled outer regions of space. Yet, if he didn't go, the galaxy itself would find itself at the mercy of interplanetary outlaws-or worse! Edmond Hamilton has spun an outer space adventure tale that you won't be able to put down. The second novel, "The Alien" is about an ages-old alien terror. The galaxy shuddered at a terror from the dim past. Speculate for a moment about the enormous challenge to archeology if relics were found of an alien race, extinct for half a million years! A race that was so scientifically far in ad-vance of our own that they held undreamed-of scientific secrets-including the secret of the restoration of life! But the world would soon tremble at the restoration of just one member of this ancient race-brought back after 500,000 years of death... Expect a muscle-tightening, sweat-producing, mind-prodding adventure in the far-off future when you read this taut science fiction classic by Raymond F. Jones
