Description

Armchair Fiction presents extra large paperback editions of classic science fiction double novels with original illustrations. The first novel, "The Star Lord" is grand space opera tale by Boyd Ellanby. It was like the Titanic in space. To some passengers the maiden voyage of a starship was merely a pleasure cruise, to others it meant the grand hope for a new life. But for one interstellar tycoon it was the gamble of a lifetime-a gamble that couldn't be lost. Only the Captain of "The Star Lord" knew of the true danger that faced every person on aboard. The second novel, "Captives of the Flame" is a classic sci-fi tale by Samuel R. Delaney. The empire of Toromon had finally declared war. The attacks on its planes had been nothing compared to the final insult-the kidnapping of the Crown Prince himself. The enemy must be dealt with, and when they were, Toromon would be able to get back on its economic feet. But how would the members of this civilization-one of the few that survived the Great Fire-get beyond the deadly radiation barrier, behind which the enemy lay? And assuming they got beyond the barrier, how would they deal with the enemy-The Lord of Flames-whose very presence was unknown to the people among whom he lived?
