Book Description
Armchair Fiction presents extra large paperback editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel, "Operation Square Peg," is a gripping account by Irving W. Lande and Frank Belknap Long of Earth's battle against an alien invasion. Earth's forces had finally seemed to gain the upper hand over the invading alien forces. Then one day the Enemy devised a new weapon and Earth's space pilots began succumbing to wild, irrational fear while in the midst of combat. The second novel, "Enchantress of Venus," tells of love lost and found by Leigh Brackett. She cast him down into the hideous depths, beneath the seas of flaming gas, to where dead blossoms swayed, whispering, over strangely jumbled ruins… But there he found the secret of her power, and came surging back-up from the depths, from the slime, the tortured swamps-to storm her forbidden temple and seek her within.

The Space Opera Renaissance
Author: Kathryn Cramer
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 146680825X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1887
Book Description
From "editor extraordinaire" (Publishers Weekly) David G. Hartwell and World Fantasy Award-winning editor Kathryn Cramer comes the best-ever anthology of one of science fiction's most vigorous subgenres: the space opera. "Space opera", once a derisive term for cheap pulp adventure, has come to mean something more in modern SF: compelling adventure stories told against a broad canvas, and written to the highest level of skill. Indeed, it can be argued that the "new space opera" is one of the defining streams of modern SF. Now, World Fantasy Award-winning anthologists David G. Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer have compiled a definitive overview of this subgenre, both as it was in the days of the pulp magazines, and as it has become in the 2000s. Included are major works from genre progenitors, popular favorites, and modern-day pioneers. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
