| Publisher Description: Armchair Fiction presents extra large paperback editions of classic science fiction double novels with original illustrations. The first novel, "The Metal Doom," is a grand sci-fi adventure by venerable sci-fi author, David H. Keller, M. D. Imagine a world without metal... When all the metal was gone, the civilized world ended. People like the Tublers and John Stafford started the slow rebuilding of society-a job made difficult enough by the lack of metal tools and weapons. But there were others trapped in the "new" stone age-roving bands of marauders who relished the new barbarism and whose only drive was to steal or destroy whatever ground the "builders" had regained This memorable science fiction classic is a sprawling tale of an Earth gone awry. It is a brilliant, thought-provoking novel that deals with a terrifying premise-the possibility that one day the civilized world might crumble from an incredible new "disease." A disease that could transform all of the world's metal into fine red rust The second novel, "Twelve Times Zero," is about a murderess from beyond Earth. It was the craziest story the cops had ever heard from anyone under a hard core police grilling. After all, who could believe that a strange dame came out of nowhere, clubbed two people to death, and then disappeared into a ball of blue light? Kirk knew there wasn't much chance he could beat the rap... It was a love-triangle murder that was splashed all over the headlines of the day. However, the real answer lay hundreds of thousands of light years away in this tremendous novel from sci-fi's golden age. |
