Publisher's Synopsis
Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel is another great tale by science fiction master Edmond Hamilton, "The Cosmic Looters." The galaxy was besieged by interplanetary highwaymen. After being violently awakened in the middle of the night by a beautiful, black-haired woman from outer space, Wyatt was informed of an imminent attack upon his world. But Wyatt knew his government wouldn't believe it-he didn't believe it. So who was this strange woman and what were her real motivations? After hitching a ride in her spacecraft, Wyatt found himself hurtling through the void to the Alpha Centauri system-all in his stocking feet! He was soon witness to a large-scale planetary attack-a vicious raid for plunder-on a slightly less advanced, but no less civilized planet than his home planet, Earth. So with the fate of Earth hanging in the balance, Wyatt plotted a course for the races of two worlds to finally put an end to the empirical conquests of the Cosmic Looters. The second novel, "Wandl the Invader" was penned by another top-of-the-line sci-fi author, Ray Cummings. Interplanetary warfare erupts! There were nine major planets in the Solar System and it was within their boundaries that man first set up interplanetary commerce and began trading with the ancient Martian civilization. And then they discovered a tenth planet-a maverick! This tenth world, if it had an orbit, had a strange one, for it was heading inwards from interstellar space, heading close to the Earth-Mars spaceways, upsetting astronautic calculations and raising turmoil on the two inhabited worlds. But even so none suspected then just how much trouble this new world would make. For it was WANDL THE INVADER and it was no barren planetoid. It was a manned world, manned by minds and monsters and traveling into our system with a purpose beyond that of astronomical accident!
