Author Description

Armchair Fiction presents paperback collections of the best in classic science fiction short stories. Escape from the mundane and blast off into adventure! Let our newest Science Fiction Collection be your guide to interplanetary adventure, where traveling to the far reaches of space has never been so easy. Explore the lush and strange life of a foreign planet in “Riddle of the Deadly Paradise.” Or take a ride abroad a spaceship bound for galactic adventure in “Space Rays” or “Double Standard,” where the journey is guaranteed to be more exciting than the destination. Perhaps a stay closer to home is your preference, then enjoy the comfort of Earth with the cautionary tales of stranger-danger in “The Passionate Pitchman,” “The Man Who Walked Through Mirrors,” and “The Babbit from Bzlfsk.” And finally you can get down to basic sci-fi as you prepare for an alien invasion in “Subject for Today” or just study good old biology in “Growing Pains.” Here’s the full lineup:RIDDLE OF THE DEADLY PARADISE by Frank Belknap LongSUBJECT FOR TODAY by Henry HasseTHE PASSIONATE PITCHMAN by Milton LesserGROWING PAINS by Robert ArnetteTHE BABBIT FROM BZLFSK by Henry SlesarDOUBLE STANDARD by Alfred CoppelTHE RAPE OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM by Leslie F.
