Death was Jaro Moynahan's stock in trade, and every planet had known his touch. But now, on Mercury, he was selling his guns into the weirdest of all his exploits—gambling his lifeagainst the soft touch of a woman's lips.
A thrill soap opera, very much like a tale of the Old West in outer space.
A Voyage to Arcturus by David Lindsay
C. S. Lewis liked this book a lot. He was a good enough writer to appreciate the art in such a book that is overlooked by people that only like an easy style. Here something so important is being said that the artist doesn't stop to polish the details — like Michangelo's "Men Tearing Themselves out of Rocks" — the roughness of the texture adds to the final quality of the reality presented. However, many people find this novel strange. It is NOT a spaceship type of novel. The voyage to Arcturus is a paranormal voyage.
The Man the Sun Gods Made by Gardner F. Fox
They called him a god and worshipped him. He neither ate nor drank, nor breathed the wild free air, yet he was mighty beyond belief. But grief bowed those superbly-muscled shoulders, for he knew he was human. A starlting novella of science fiction.
Engines of the Gods by Gardner F. Fox
The engine was the wealth of Mars. With it Kortha could save his people ... or the evil Guantra could rule the Universe. But neither could use the machine until its secret was solved—so they fought and schemed for the knowledge, and their planet lay on the brink of destruction.
The Blue Venus Science Fiction by Robert Emmett McDowell
Out of their mountain hideout came the terrified band of The Renegade. Through the valleys of Venus they swept, seeking a greed-maddened slaver who planned an experiment so cruel and barbaric it would destroy the very foundation of mankind. A thrilling space opera and other worldly creatures and aliens. Fun reading from the start.
The Time Techs of Kra by Max Sheridan
A story of time travel and alien invasion. The blurb reads: "The elusive technical knowledge of eons, past and future, was held captive by the mighty Kralons—learned giant insects that seined the stream of Time for the great Truth that would mold them into unrivalled masters of the universe."
A Thousand Degrees Below Zero by Murray Leinster
