Alan E Nourse

For the first time in paperback, Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels, complete with original illustrations. The first novel, "Empire of Evil," is a tale of kidnapping and slavery by Sci-fi great Rog Phillips (writing as Robert Arnette). A horrible situation-alien pirates from Venus looting the heartlands of America and the rest of the world almost at will. Not only did they make off with valuable booty, but their most prized pickings were Earth women. Beautiful women who were lusted after by the creatures of all Earth's neighboring planets. The second novel, "Sign of the Tiger," is top-of-the-line intrigue by veteran sci-fi writers Alan E. Norse and J. A. Meyer. "An alien attack was imminent..." That's what the people of Earth were being told by the top brass at the Department of Internal Affairs. Strange incidents all over the world seemed to confirm it. However, if there had been any doubters, their doubts were washed away one afternoon when the moon exploded in the sky above.

Armchair fiction presents extra large paperback editions of classic science fiction double novels with original illustrations. The first novel, "Beyond the Rings of Saturn" is an old-fashioned space adventure by Robert Moore Williams. Johnson Crane was sent to Saturn as an interplanetary troubleshooter, and he ran into far more trouble than he was expecting. However, when the trouble's a beautiful woman, sometimes it's just too hard to pull the trigger. Lots of good-guys-versus-bad-aliens thrills. The second novel, "A Man Obsessed" is a spine-tingling sci-fi horror tale by Alan E. Nourse. Jeffery Meyer had his own all-consuming obsession-a man from his past must die After a five-year frenzied chase, Jeff had his victim cornered; he'd driven him into the last hideaway of the world's most desperate men-the sealed vaults of the human-vivisectionists. And Jeff knew that to reach his final horrible objective, he must offer himself as a guinea pig for the secret experiments of the world's most feared physicians
