[Front Cover]

"A space-surfer on the skids, a sensuous and deadly narcotic, form an alien chemistry of unstoppable evil!"

[Back Cover]

"Once He had Been a Star Master---Now He Dealt in Soul-Shattering Ruin..."

"Farradyne had committed the one unpardonable error a Space Master could make. He didn't die along with the other 32 passengers when his ship smashed into the Bog on Venus.

They broke him---exiled him to the rotting fungus fields of Venus.

Now his only desire in existence was to return to the cool, gleaming sea of deep space.

And there was a way---only one. But he would have to become the vilest parasite in the universe---peddler of a poison that stripped the spirit, before it consumed the body...."

The Fourth 'R' (1959)

Sun, 06 Dec 2015 23:21:58 +0200

He was five years old, and he might be the smartest human being on Earth . . .

Terrifically suspenseful and readable tale of a small boy artificially made super-intelligent by scientists. He escapes his keepers and uses his superior brain to evade authorities and get along in the adult controlled world. If you liked James Patterson's "When the Wind Blows" and sequels, you'll like this original, tightly written suspense novel even better.

The Fourth R

Wed, 21 Jun 2006 20:23:43 +0300

Armchair fiction presents extra large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. “The Fourth ‘R’” is a great tale by science fiction specialist, George O. Smith. Jimmy Holden was an experiment. He was bright, normal-sized, and enormously curious—just like most small boys. The only thing different in Jimmy’s life was a machine—a machine that could teach him better, faster, more completely and more thoroughly than any human method ever devised. It was really nothing more than a glorified memorizing contraption, but it filled his mind permanently with whole books of facts and figures—plus all the diverse information that an insatiably curious young mind could seek, including how to build the machine that taught him. So Jimmy quickly became a very valuable experiment indeed. Certain people figured that, if properly handled, young James could be a goldmine, and they weren’t above murder in order to get control of him. But even a five-year-old mind will defend itself when attacked.

Highways in Hiding (1956)

Wed, 14 Sep 1977 23:21:57 +0300

Highways in Hiding is a science fiction novel by author George O. Smith first published in 1955.

Strange signposts led to an underworld of ESP, espionage... and untold danger. Follow Steve Cornell's weird and terrifying race with time and unseen enemies to locate and stop a dread menace from outer space!

The novel concerns ESP and a disease that turns men into supermen. It contains multiple plotlines concerning the interactions of people that can sense things (espers) and people that can read thoughts (telepaths). This is set against the plot of a secret society that is harboring people that are infected with a spaceborne illness called Mekstrom's Disease.

J. Francis McComas found Highways in Hiding to be "a tasty enough dish for those on a diet of pure melodrama," concluding that "Our hero's adventures go on a bit too long, but over all, his exploits are entertaining." Galaxy reviewer Floyd C. Gale praised the novel for its "suspense [and] crackling, hard-boiled dialogue."

Highways in Hiding was first published in the magazine Imagination in 1955, and as a book in 1956 (the novel was also published in an abridged version as Space Plague in 1957.)

George Oliver Smith (1911-1981) (also known by the pseudonym Wesley Long) was an American science fiction author. He is not to be confused with George H. Smith, another American science fiction author.

Smith wrote mainly about outer space, with such works as Operation Interstellar (1950), Lost in Space (1959), and Troubled Star (1957). Smith continued regularly publishing science fiction novels and stories until 1960. He was given the First Fandom Hall of Fame award in 1980.

Fire in the Heavens (1958)

Sun, 06 Dec 2015 23:22:02 +0200

OPERATION WORLD'S END

Jeff Benson and Lucille Roman stood worlds apart in their approach to science. Jeff, an

instrument engineer, was interested only in its purest aspects. Lucille, a rocket

manufacturer, thought only of its profit-making potential.

It was a one-in-a-million chance that their worlds would ever collide. But when the sun

threatened to go nova—to incinerate the Earth in one devastating explosion—these two found themselves in a highly combustible partnership.

Only Jeff could possibly avert the coming catastrophe, and he could do it only with

Lucille’s co-operation. Upon the success of their emotion-charged alliance hung more than

the future of science. The very fate of Earth depended on their working—or dying—together!
