A Hoax in Time & Inside Earth

A Hoax in Time & Inside Earth

Poul Anderson; Keith Laumer

Armchair Fiction Music

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels, complete with original illustrations. The first novel, "A Hoax in Time," is a tale about an ultimate computer and perhaps the ultimate hero, who combine in this rambunctious science fiction romp to perpetrate, simultaneously, a superb comic opera on the one hand, and on the other an insightful and satiric comment on the world we all live in. Appropriately enough, the link that unifies grand farce and thought-provoking philosophy is the Internal Revenue Service-without whose greedy hands this story could never have been written. The second novel, "Inside Earth," is great futuristic drama by sci-fi master, Poul Anderson. It is a tale of interplanetary rebellion. Obviously no conqueror wants his subjects to revolt against his rule. Obviously? This one would go to any lengths to start a rebellion When Halgan Conru was sent to Earth by the Empire, it was with the express purpose of helping to generate a successful revolution against his own people. Little did he know that the strength and charms of a lonely Earth woman would soon test his loyalty. Poul Anderson is one of the most beloved science fiction authors of all time. Here is another fine example of his story-telling prowess.
The Burning Bridge by Poul Anderson, Science Fiction, Adventure, Fantasy
Usually there are two "reasons" why something is done; the reason why it needs to be done, and, quite separate, the reason people want to do it. The foul-up starts when the reason-for-wanting is satisfied ... and the need remains. . . The fleet numbered fifteen, more than half the interstellar ships humankind possessed. But Earth's overlords had been as anxious to get rid of the Constitutionalists (the most stubborn ones, at least; the stay-at-homes were "ipso facto" less likely to be troublesome) as that science-minded, liberty-minded group of archaists were to escape being forcibly absorbed by modern society. Rustum, e Eridani II, was six parsecs away, forty-one years of travel, and barely habitable: but the only possible world yet discovered. A successful colony would be prestigious, and could do no harm; its failure would dispose of a thorn in the official ribs. Tying up fifteen ships for eight decades was all right too. Exploration was a dwindling activity, which interested fewer men each generation.
The Valor of Cappen Varra by Poul Anderson, Science Fiction, Fantast, Adventure
It's been said that there are many and strange shadows, memories surviving from dim pasts, in this fantastic universe of ours. Here the great Poul Anderson turned to a legend from the Northern countries, countries where even today the pagan past seems only like yesterday, to tell the story of Cappen Varra, who came to Norren an age ago, in a time and place we really can't remember anymore.
