27 Novels & Collections by Henry Kuttner
Requirements: ePUB reader, 20.6Mb
Overview: Henry Kuttner was, alone and in collaboration with his wife, the great science fiction and fantasy writer C. L. Moore, one of the four or five most important writers of the 1940s, the writer whose work went furthest in its sociological and psychological insight to making science fiction a human as well as technological literature. He was an important influence upon every contemporary and every science fiction writer who succeeded him. In the early 1940s and under many pseudonyms, Kuttner and Moore published very widely through the range of the science fiction and fantasy pulp markets.

Avengers of Space (1938) (Jerry eBooks 2015)
Terry Shawn and his Eagle crew raged through the interstellar spaces bent on avenging Earth’s destruction by spaceships of another planet—and faced the strangest destiny ever encountered by man!
Clash by Night (1943) (The 1st book of the Keep duology)
This remarkably inventive novella, published originally in the February 1943 issue of Astounding Science Fiction, sculpts a complicated feudal society based on decadence and warfare, a tragic warrior hero and a brilliantly imagined Venus within its compass of 25,000 words. Clash By Night foreshadows the full-length novel, Fury, which appeared in Astounding three years later. The novella is centered on Brian Scott, a so-called "Free Companion" who is a warrior for one of the competing undersea civilizations of Venus. The novel portrays what Scott intends to be his last mercenary battle. A decadent humanity lives on Venus under the planet’s seas. They are the descendants of survivors exiled from Earth after the destructive atomic wars. Life for most of these inhabitants of the Keeps is pleasant though corrupt and is so detailed by Kuttner with great precision and force through the eyes of Scott, whose mercenary services as a warrior are available to the highest bidder. These wars among the undersea Keeps give point to what would otherwise be an aimless, luxurious existence in these shells under the fierce Venusian seas. As Brian Scott, in the employ of the besieged Montana Keep, makes alliances with other mercenaries of the Doones to fight a war for property, he comes to a truer understanding of the nature of his life and of his fate.

Also included in this collection are Kuttner’s two rare and equally ground-breaking Prince Raynor stories from 1939’s Strange Tales.

The illustrated magazine version of the stories from 1938/1941
Fury (1947) (The 2nd book of the Keep duology)
Beneath the roiling seas and deadly atmosphere of Venus are the Keeps—fully enclosed cities and within those cities live descendants of the survivors who first harbored atomic energy to propel the spaceships that took them to Venus. In massive superstructures built beneath the Venusian seas, a complex feudal society devoted simply to decadence has evolved. Presiding over that society are Immortals—genetic throwbacks to the mutant atomic survivors. While the society is stable, the stability will only lead to its destruction, and the harsh environment outside the Keeps is malevolent and encroaching.
Born into all of this is Sam Harker, son of an Immortal, the object of his father’s disdain and whose mother perishes in childbirth. Sam is subjected to treatments which stunt his growth and leave him hairless, and he is exiled from the society of the Immortals and set on the tumultuous path of a rebel’s life, one inspired by hatred and a desire for vengeance on the society…

Nick Banning was a man drowning in a land of far-off horizons, a land that had all the vigor sucked out of it ages ago by the Arizona sun.

But Nick was winding up, faster and faster. He meant to have Sherry—or else.

Mutant (1953) as Lewis Padgett
After the Blow-Up, the children of a small group of the survivors were born with the capacity for telepathy – to perceive and share the thoughts of others. This minority, once the children became able to communicate their ability, became a feared and quarantined group; "ordinary" humans felt that their privacy had been taken from them and that the mutants, the "Baldies" (so called because of their most distinguishing visible characteristic) by knowing their most secrets could destroy them.

Hounded by creditors and government officials, he wakes from each bender to discover a new invention designed to solve all his problems—if only he knew how it worked…
Add in a vain and uncooperative robot assistant, a heckling grandfather, and a host of uninvited guests—from rabbit-like aliens to time-traveling mafia lawyers to his own future corpse—and Gallegher has more on his hands than even he can handle. Time for a drink!

The Fairy Chessmen 01 – 02 (1946)
The weirdest weapon ever conceived attacked not the mighty defensive screens, but the defending technical minds.
It was a simple idea—but simply devastating. All it did was deny the basis of the scientific method!
The Original Keeps Duology (Magazine illustrated version 1943, 1947) (Jerry eBooks 2020)
THE whole system of which he was a part was doomed, he knew—a mercenary army that fought other mercenary armies for cities that lay beneath the seas of Venus. Yet—there was a fascination and a reasonless loyalty to that futile system that held him.
Valley of the Flame (1946)
Somewhere there was a radioactive fire that could perform miracles of super-science. Somewhere there was a place where cat-people prowled, where time was altered, and incredible mysteries held their secrets of power and fortune for the daring discoverer. Deep in an unexplored jungle, Brian Raft sought the secret of the legendary Valley of the Flame . . .
Bypass to Otherness (1961) SSC (ed. Jim3692)
A solid collection of science fiction stories from the mid-1940s which can be divided into two main groups: tales of mutations induced by nuclear war, leading to the next step in human evolution, and plain humourous tales. The former are very much products of their time (and nothing wrong with that), with the atomic bomb at the forefront of everybody’s consciousness in the immediate post-war era.

Return to Otherness (1962) SSC (ed. Jim3692)
In this second "otherness" volume of stories by Henry Kuttner, the editors have again selected those works which have never appeared in other collections, and seldom even in an anthology. Further, the stories have lent themselves to a theme broadly based on robotics — or more properly, man-made creations or machines which duplicate the purposes and activities of man. In the hands of Henry Kuttner, however, no robot, let alone android, could ever remain merely an extraordinary concatenation of nuts, bolts and wires. Therefore, there is a tremendous diversity between these amusing, terrifying and all-too-human tales. And since no collection of Henry Kuttner’s work would seem complete without the Hogbens, that marvelous family which has blasted its way into the affections of all aficionados, we have included one gem from that group. All in all, a collection of intoxicating delight.
