Donovan’s Brain (1942)
WHEN the millionaire Warren Horace Donovan crashed in his private plane near a remote ranger station in Arizona, Patrick Cory got the chance of his career. For Donovan couldn’t have pulled through, so Cory felt no compunctions about stealing his brain for his strange researches into life after death. But in his scientific fervor he didn’t reckon with the power which Donovan had exerted in his lifetime and which, deprived of his body, became immeasurably greater through Cory’s experiment. And so presently that power paralyzed Cory’s will and he found their positions reversed and himself the agent of Donovan’s unfulfilled plans and ambitions.
To what terrifying lengths that circumstance forced Cory makes a story as spine-chilling as it is fascinating—and one which can’t be put down. Aside from its unusual situation, its unfolding and development are a feat of logic and suspense, testifying to the author’s equal mastery of drama and human behavior.
Riders to the Stars (1950) [Novelization by Robert Smith based upon the screenplay by Curt Siodmak]
Space Opera,
Three men, each driven by secret reasons, volunteered to take the strangest trip since the beginning of time:
GORDON – filled with a need for power, enough power to wipe out the memory of an earlier terrible shame.
LOCKWOOD – to whom life was worth very little without Susan – maybe it was worth nothing at all.
STANTON – a man haunted by the knowledge that a special and mysterious fate awaited him.
Behind them were their pasts. Ahead of them – infinity.
In this different and suspense-filled novel, the author of Donovan’s Brain tells the story of a strange quest whose outcome might mean the difference between survival and extinction for mankind.
