Costigan’s Needle (1953)
INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION • • •
Dr. Costigan leaned closer to Devan. “There is a problem.”
“A problem?”
“Yes. Evidently nobody’s thought about who is to go through the Needle’s Eye first. Have you?”
It looked innocent, that area just within the lips of the Eye. As Devan approached it, he had a fleeting impulse to jump into it… As he observed the curious, tense faces of those about the Eye, he wondered if any of them was controlling an urge to fall into the Eye.
Orcutt moved closer than the rest. “No pushing, boys,” he said. There was a laugh and tension lowered. He thrust his hand into the Eye. It disappeared. He moved his invisible hand down.
“Pretty chilly,” he said.
Suddenly he withdrew his hand, stood up. “This is ridiculous. I’m going through the Eye—all of me.”
I, Aleppo (1976)
Before he joined Project Ephialtes, Gary Carmody found the idea incredible: How could anyone capture characters from dreams – mere figments of the imagination? And look out when they get angry about that!
Quick, find out what’s lurking in your dreams before you fall asleep again!
The Mars Monopoly (1956)
A guy’s gotta earn a living someplace—and if it isn’t on Earth, it might as well be on Mars. That is if the Syndicate would let you live on the red planet. Bert Schaun found himself washed-up as a round-the-world rocket racer, blacklisted by Thornton McAllister. He tried to make a new life for himself prospecting for uranium in the lonesome vastness of the asteroids.
But McAllister’s fury hunted him even to Mars; the issue became a struggle to stay alive against the dangers imposed by McAllister’s interplanetary power. And then Bert met Emma, and found that he was not only fighting for his own survival and his sweetheart’s, but for the survival, too, of a whole race of Martian outcasts.
Singlehandedly, he had to combat genocide on Mars!
One Against Herculum (1959)
Corruption was the rule of order on the domed planetary colony of Herculum. Earthman Alan Demuth, for instance, couldn’t get the job he had rightfully qualified for without paying a kickback to the man he hated, Jack Bohannen. Alan thought he could simply report Jack’s graft, until he learned none would listen. There was one desperate recourse. Under provision of the law, Alan could ask for a crime license. His crime would be homicide, and the victim Jack Bohannen. The law gave him twenty-four hours to make good his murder. Failure would mean Alan’s death. Success would mean the clean-up of graft and dishonesty. But Alan never realized that in a graft-ridden society, even a license to kill is liable to prove a backfiring fraud!
The Time Disolver (1957)
WAS IT MENTAL SUICIDE… OR MENTAL MURDER?
He awoke one morning in a strange motel beside a beautiful woman he’d never seen before. The clothes on the chair seemed to fit, but he didn’t recognize them….
Upon investigation he found eleven years of history had passed–the Korean War, Ike’s election, Stalin’s death–without his knowing if!
AND… he didn’t know that the lovely stranger was his own wife, who had also lost eleven years… somewhere.
WHAT TERRIBLE THING WAS HE MADE TO FORGET?
