Description

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel "The Time Projector" is a grand sci-fi adventure by venerable sci-fi author, David H. Keller, M. D. No one knew where they came from. They were great white clouds that began appearing at regular intervals, floating high over Central Park in New York City. But on the face of these clouds were live action images, much like those on a movie screen. However, these images were of dire, sometimes terrifying happenings, often graphic and shocking in their detail. The world was even further shocked when it was discovered that these images foretold future events-accidents, crimes, disasters, assassinations-all of which took place within a short period of time. But were these projections the work of a divine force, or was there an unknown human element involved? In the weeks that followed, the world was thrown into a chaos; and a young man of fortune and fame found himself thrown into one of the most fantastic situations imaginable, having to decide whether the foretelling of future events was more beneficial or more destructive to mankind, in this exciting, thought-provoking sci-fi classic. Join veteran sci-fi author Philip Jose Farmer for this second novel titled "Strange Compulsion" as he weaves a wild yarn filled with mystery and intrigue. On a lonely Lunar outpost, Dr. Mark Gaulers was called in to examine a seriously ill young woman, the captain's daughter of a recently landed spaceship. It seemed routine enough, but when he found himself accompanied by a hard-boiled detective who was investigating the apparent outer space suicide of one of the ship's crewmembers, he knew something unusual was afoot. His own investigations-medical and otherwise-led him to a distant planet, ruled in large part by a strange religious cult. What he found there was a trail of clues that pointed to a possible double homicide, a threat to his own life, and a new disease that threatened the health of the entire galaxy!
