Alpha Yes, Terra No!
The Alphans had been watching Earth for centuries, seeing its technological advances and its moral stagnation. They had erected a barrier against Earth’s attempts to enter their system. Finally, they decided that Earth was a canker on the face of the universe, and decreed it’s total destruction… The Earth was on trial, would no one defend her?
Doom Of The Green Planet
Save a life and it is your responsibility. Save a world and it is yours to protect forever. Such was the geasa of Diarmid Patrick O’Dowd, ex-starman. He had himself called down destruction on the Green Planet by destroying its creator and undermining its guiding Song. Now he must shield it from the aspirations of the next star-wanderer to set down on its lush fairy-tale landscape. For without its special "god" it would mean the end of that wonder world of swordsmen and sorcerers… and Diarmid himself had now to play that omnipotent role – even though he was but a marooned pilot and his opponent was the massed power of an organized stellar federation.
Seed of the Dreamers
Brad Mantee, starcop on the galazy’s rim, was on a routine mission when everything started to go wrong. His perfect record with star control, the vast network of galactic dictatorship, slipped suddenly into oblivion as he found himself in hot pursuit of the madman who had stolen his ship and with it, the secret that could cost him his career–at the very least.
Unfortunately, Brad’s best chance was through the madman’s daughter, a girl from the one organization Star Control most detested. Their search led them ultimately to a primitive and uncharted planet where fiction became fact and dreams became flesh, but where also lurked a threat of universal slavery more total than man had ever known…
The Caves of Mars
Ric Coltor had lost an arm in an interplanetary exploration. For a spaceman at any other time, that would have meant the end of his career. But not with the marvelous Martian Panacea in existence. Extracted from a fungus found only on the Red Planet, it promised mankind perfect health and longer life, for it grew back internal organs, conquered disease, and could even grow back arms.
So Ric went to one of the M-P colonies to become whole again and discovered a defect in that new Utopia – M-P not only gave its users glowing good health, but it also gave them a fanatical devotion to the man who administered it, Dr. Morton Krill. A devotion that was so all-encompassing that any man who received it could easily become dictator of two planets if he were twisted enough to desire that. Dr. Krill was.
