Book Description
This is our second (of three) collections of Space Patrol stories by "Eando Binder" (Otto O. Binder). Starting with the February, 1946 issue, every issue of Captain Marvel Adventures included a 2-page short story featuring Lt. Jon Jarl of the Space Patrol. These juvenile space operas -- designed to appeal to kids -- featured daring-do by a two-fisted young member of the Space Patrol. In a solar system where seemingly every planet and moon can support life and the asteroid belt harbors numerous space pirates and criminals, Jon Jarl always seems to save the day. If you've seen the early TV adventures of Captain Video and His Video Rangers, Space Patrol, or Tom Corbett, Space Cadet -- which were clearly influenced by Binder's writing (as well as the shared universe of "space opera" that had been developed in Amazing Stories magazine under editor Ray Palmer) -- you will know what you're in for...a ride into the Wild West of outer space, where physics and logic never get in the way of a good story! Includes 30 short stories.

Book Description
Talmage Powell (1920-2000) was one of the all-time great mystery writers of the pulp magazines (and later the digest mystery magazines). He claimed to have written more than 500 short stories, and we have no reason to doubt him -- we are working on a bibliography of his work and have documented 373 magazine stories so far...and who knows how many are out there under pseudonyms or buried in obscure magazines? He wrote his first novel, The Smasher, in 1959. He went on to pen 11 more novels under his own name, 4 as "Ellery Queen," and 2 novelizations of the hit TV series Mission: Impossible. Clearly, though short stories were his first love. Included here are 20 of his best crime tales, including: CRIME GETS A HEAD YOUR CRIME IS MY CRIME KILLER BE GOOD DEAR MR. LONELYHEART RIVALS SALESMANSHIP JURY OF ONE LIFE SENTENCE MONEY, MURDER, OR LOVE OLD MAN EMMONS PRECIOUS PIGEON FALSE START A HEAD OFF HER SHOULDERS HEIST IN PIANISSIMO REWARD FOR GENIUS MIND THE POSIES THE FIVE YEAR CAPER LONE WITNESS PROXY THE CONFIDENT KILLER Don't miss The Second Talmage Powell Crime MEGAPACK® or The Third Talmage Powell Crime MEGAPACK® If you enjoy this book, search your favorite ebook store for "Wildside Press Megapack" to see the 400+ other entries in the series, covering science fiction, fantasy, mysteries, westerns, classics, adventure stories, and much, much more!
