The peaceful village of Middletown began it's days as it always did. The children went to school, the postman delivered the mail with typical timing and loyalty.

A small band of survivors vow to rebuild civilization once again

Eleven classic stories of adventure, exploration, and extreme zoology as humanity discovers there are things that bump, growl, and bite in the darkness. From Robert Duncan Milne's 'The Iguanodon' (1882), a tale of prehistoric resurrection in the jungles of Papua, to invisible horrors from remote outposts, ghastly creatures from the sea, and other strange, sometimes unearthly, beasts, people find that Nature has plenty of surprises in store.

Edmond Hamilton's classic Sci-Fi thriller, The Legion of Lazarus. Being expelled from an air lock into deep space was the legal method of execution. But it was also the only way a man could qualify for-The Legion of Lazarus

Rather than focusing his new publication on aerial adventure stories, editor Hugo Gernsback said in the April 1929 issue that his magazine would contain "flying stories of the future, strictly along scientific-mechanical-technical lines, full of adventure, exploration and achievement." This issue contains cover story "The Flying Buzz-Saw," by Harold McCay, "Evans of the Earth-Guard," by Edmond Hamilton, "Through the Meteors," by Lowell Howard Morrow, "The Heat Ray," by O. L. Beckwith, "The Meteoric Magnet," by Moses Schere, and "The Flying Legion," by George Allan England. Of interest to aviation history buffs, the non-fiction article "How High Can Man Fly?" and regular columns Aviation News and Aviation Forum. Air Wonder Stories was published from July 1929 to May 1930, when it was merged with Science Wonder Stories to become Wonder Stories Quarterly. In 1935 it was sold to Beacon Publications and retitled Thrilling Wonder Stories, which ceased publication in 1955 with the decline in the pulp magazine industry.

He was afraid - not of the present or the future, but of the past. He was afraid of the thing tagged Reed Kieran, that stiff blind voiceless thing wheeling its slow orbit around the Moon, companion to dead worlds and silent space.... Hamilton was a thoughtful SF writer, and you can surely see that here: this is the tale of a man dead in space for centuries - and revived by folks who approach an alien world a lot the way out nuttier environmentalists approach the defense of trees. There are creatures on this alien world, see, that look like people - and act like chimpanzees. But chimps are animals, aren't they? Aren't they...?

1928 was Amazing Stories third year and the best yet for a magazine that was improving with leaps and bounds each issue. This best of the year compilation is headlined by Jack Williamson, Edmond Hamilton, Clare Winter Harris, David H. Keller MD, Miles J. Breuer MD, and other greats of early science fiction. Plus stunning illustrations by the pioneer and genius of science fiction art, Frank R. Paul. Here you will find Comet Doom, a feature novel and intergalactic extravaganza, by a man who was already one of science fiction's leading stars, Edmond Hamilton (which concludes this anthology). Plus The Revolt of the Pedestrians," the first story by David H. Keller, M. D. (a psychiatrist specializing in abnormal psychology with a correspondingly dyspeptic view of life), who followed it up with over 100 more stories and a dozen novels of exceptional quality, if decidedly conservative viewpoint. Also the brilliant (top honors in the Haverford College intelligence test and an Edison Scholarship finalist) Charles Cloukey's initial offering, "Sub-Satellite," the first story to investigate the question of what would happen to a bullet fired in the Moon's lighter gravity (and the first of only nine superior stories he would pen before typhoid cut his life tragically short at twenty). And, Clare Winger Harris' "The Miracle of the Lily," a double-edged tale of the reintroduction of plant life onto a future Earth sterilized by ecological disaster, which established Harris as an indisputably better sf writer than most of her male colleagues; Harold Donitz's architectural utopia, "A Visitor from the Twentieth Century"; "The Metal Man," first story by Jack Williamson, a thought provoking, Merrittesque tale of crystalline and metallic life; Miles J. Breuer's imaginative fourth-dimensional jape, 'The Appendix and the Spectacles"; and Edwin K. Sloat's "Flight to Venus," a curiously affecting tale which focuses more on psychological and cultural reactions to the adventure than the adventure itself (Bleiler terms it, "intelligent, with amusing touches"). These stories helped shape science fiction and provided hours of thought-provoking reading for the fans of the era. We believe they will do the same for readers of today.

FIRST EDITION: This novel was written by 18 science fiction authors in a round-robin format--each chapter by a different author (or in the case of one chapter, two writers). Alpha Centauri versus the Solar System. A great space adventure story.
