Red Witch of Mercury by Robert Emmett McDowell

Red Witch of Mercury by Robert Emmett McDowell

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


 

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 Science Fiction by Gardner F. Fox


 

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.

The Blue Venus Science Fiction by Robert Emmett McDowell


 

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.
