Overview
Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel is "Mirage for Planet X" by well-known science fiction author, Stanley Mullen. It's interplanetary intrigue at its best. Torry had come to Mars looking for a man named Roper. They had been partners once-until Torry had found out what kind of man his partner really was. So with revenge and more on his mind, Torry set out for a public auction, an auction that featured two pieces of merchandise that would soon bring the worst elements of the Solar System into a showdown of frenzied bidding. The prize was sealed in two crates, its contents unknown. Yet scavengers from a dozen barbaric Moons; adventurers from nameless, semi-explored asteroids, arrived for the deathless auction...to bid on Roper's mysterious crates, the contents of which held the promise of a massive interplanetary confidence job, or the key to salvation for a dying race of people. The second novel is "Police Your Planet" by heralded sci-fi author and editor, Lester del Rey. His ticket to Mars was stamped: "One-way." "Police Your Planet" is a good old-fashioned science fiction adventure yarn. Yet it also has all the earmarks of a gritty hard-boiled cop novel. It's the story of Bruce Gordon, a man sent to Mars with a one-way ticket. A man with a controversial past who faces danger and corruption in the far-off city of Marsport, Gordon wasn't crazy about the town, which was basically a central city covered by gigantic air dome surrounded by a massive slum. Gordon soon found himself tangled in a web of intrigue, caught in the middle between two warring factions, both riddled in corruption. He is soon attacked with fists, knives, clubs, and guns (nope, not ray-guns-these things fire bullets ) But the key for Bruce Gordon was finding a way to bring both sides to their knees without losing his life
