Description
Armchair Fiction presents paperback collections of the best in classic science fiction short stories, complete with many original illustrations. You find some amazing things happening in this tenth edition of Armchair Fiction's "Science Fiction Gems." There are some fabulous authors serving up some very memorable moments of intriguing science-fantasy. Robert Sheckley is front and center with his wonderful tale, "Prospector's Special." Robert Moore Williams offers some taut moments of science fiction adventure in his shipwrecked-on-Venus novelette, "Doom Ship." Carl Jacobi gives us an excellent example of nature run wild in his memorable story, "Moss Island." Then there's Chester S. Geier, who offers an interesting notion as to what lies beyond science's known and comfortable borders in "The Secret of the Yellow Crystal." There are a few lessons in humanity to be learned in Milton Lesser's poignant "Blonde Cargo." Charles DeVet's "Specimen" shows the human survival instinct at its best. And who can forget the little old ladies who surround a seedy charlatan in Ray Bradbury's charming "A little Journey." Try out some of these sci-fi gems and we're sure you'll be captivated for hours...
