But no one deserved to be beaten to death, and private eye Ed Clive didn't believe that her boyfriend had killed her. Pursuing her own lonely trail, he found out just how easily jealousy and twisted rage could turn a human being into a monster of violence.

Armchair Fiction presents extra large paperback editions of classic science fiction double novels, complete with original illustrations. The first novel, "Operation Square Peg," is a gripping account by Frank Belknap Long and Irving W. Lande of Earth's battle against an alien invasion. Earth's forces had finally seemed to gain the upper hand over the invading alien forces. Then one day the Enemy devised a new weapon and Earth's space pilots began succumbing to wild, irrational fear while in the midst of combat. The second novel, "Enchantress of Venus," tells of love lost and found by Leigh Brackett. She cast him down into the hideous depths, beneath the seas of flaming gas, to where dead blossoms swayed, whispering, over strangely jumbled ruins... But there he found the secret of her power, and came surging back-up from the depths, from the slime, the tortured swamps-to storm her forbidden temple and seek her within.

Sweat channeled the dust on his skin. His throat ached with thirst. And the bitter landscape mocked him more than Wade's dark face." The rest of my life," he repeated softly. "The rest of my life "He was twenty-eight. Wade spat in the damp black earth. "You ought to be glad -- helping the unfortunate, building a haven for the derelict. . . ."
