Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1 It is a sea, though they call it sand. They call it sand because it is still and red and dense with grains. They call it sand because the thin wind whips it, and whirls its dusty skim away to the tight horizons of Mars. But only a sea could so brood with the memory of aeons. Only a sea, lying so silent beneath the high skies, could hint the mystery of life still behind its barren veil. To practical, rational man, it is the Xanthe Desert. Whatever else he might unwittingly be, S. Nuwell Eli considered himself a practical, rational man, and it was across the bumpy sands of the Xanthe Desert that he guided his groundcar westward with that somewhat cautious proficiency that mistrusts its own mastery of the machine. Maya Cara Nome, his colleague in this mission to which he had addressed himself, was a silent companion. Nuwell's liquid brown eyes, insistent upon their visual clarity, saw the red sand as the blowing surface of unliving solidity. Only clarity was admitted to Nuwell, and the only living clarity was man and beast and vegetation, spotted in the dome cities and dome farms of the lowlands. He and Maya scurried, transiting sparks of the only life, insecure and hastening in the absence of the net of roads which eventually would bind the Martian surface to human reality from the toeholds of the dome cities. In that opposite world which was the other side of the groundcar's seat, Maya Cara Nome's opaque black eyes struggled against the surface. They struggled not from any rational motivation but from long stubbornness, from habit, as a fly kicks six-legged and constant against the surface tension of a trapping pool.

Then suddenly he reappeared, youthful, brilliant, ready to take over the Phoenix, the rebel group that worked to overthrow the tyranny that gripped the settlers on Mars. The Phoenix had been destroyed not once, not twice, but three times! But this time the resurrected Dark had new plans, plans which involved dangerous experiments in mutation and psionics. And now the rebels realized they were in double jeopardy. Not only from the government's desperate hatred of their movement, but also from the growing possibility that the new breed of mutated monsters would get out of hand and bring terrors never before known to man.

Fontenay writes: "I was born in Brazil of a father who was by birth English and by parentage German and French, and of a mother who was by birth American and by parentage American and Scottish. This mess of internationalism caused me some trouble in the army during World War II as the government couldn't decide whether I was American, British, or Brazilian; and both as an enlisted man and an officer I dealt in secret work which required citizenship by birth. On three occasions I had to dig into the lawbooks. Finally they gave up and admitted I was an American citizen.... "I was raised on a West Tennessee farm and distinguished myself in school principally by being the youngest, smallest (and consequently the fastest-running) child in my classes ... Newspaper work has been my career since 1936. I have worked for three newspapers, including "The Nashville Tennessean" for which I am now rewrite man, and before the war for theAssociated Press." Mr. Fontenay is married, lives in Madison, Tenn., and has had one other novel published by Ace Books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel "Stay Out of Space" is written by well-known sci-fi author, Dwight V. Swain. John Goss had been trying to get accepted for the new deep space expedition for quite some time. It was his dream--hell, it was the dream of the whole human race to someday visit the stars. However, all previously scheduled missions had been postponed--the Huu giving any and all sorts of reasons. For John Goss, though, this expedition was to be different, he was certain of that. But the Huu had different ideas. They secretly wanted to prevent space travel--period. To the Huu, Goss' kind spelled potential disaster, because they knew that going into space would provide their mortal enemies, the Shan, with a break in the Earth's force field. The Shan had been waiting a long time for that, and if they were successful, they planned to wipe out every living creature on the planet. The second novel "Rebels of the Red Planet" was penned by sci-fi veteran Charles L. Fontenay. Dark Kensington had been dead for twenty-five years. It was a fact; everyone knew it. Then suddenly he reappeared, youthful, brilliant, ready to take over the Phoenix, the rebel group that worked to overthrow the tyranny that gripped the settlers on Mars. The Phoenix had been destroyed not once, not twice, but three times! But this time the resurrected Dark had new plans, plans that involved dangerous experiments in mutation and psionics. And now the rebels realized they were in a dangerous situation fraught with double jeopardy. Not only from the government's desperate hatred of their entire movement, but also from the growing possibility that a new, terrible breed of mutated creatures would soon get out of control and bring forth terrors, the likes of which, had never been known to man.

Book excerpt: Red’s Planet, an intergalactic graphic novel fantasy series from award-winning cartoonist Eddie Pittman (writer/story artist for Disney’s hit TV series Phineas and Ferb), is a nonstop adventure with a unique cast of characters unlike any you’ve ever seen before. Meet Red, a quirky, headstrong 10-year-old who longs to live in her own perfect paradise far away from her annoying foster family. But when a UFO mistakenly kidnaps her, Red finds herself farther away than she could have possibly imagined—across the galaxy and aboard an enormous spaceship owned by the Aquilari, an ancient creature with a taste for rare and unusual treasures. Before Red can be discovered as a stowaway, the great ship crashes on a small deserted planet, leaving her marooned with a menagerie of misfit aliens. With her newfound friend, a small gray alien named Tawee, Red must find a way to survive the hostile castaways, evade the ravenous wildlife, and contend with Goose, the planet’s grumpy, felinoid custodian. Surely this can’t be the paradise she’s been hoping for. Fans of Mike Maihack’s Cleopatra in Space and Ben Hatke’s Zita the Spacegirl will embrace Red’s Planet, a boldly illustrated and imaginative new series for readers of all ages. "Fun, sharp, hilarious, and rip-roaringly original!""-- Jeff Smith, Bone "The only thing that's missing is seeing Red's Planet on my bookshelf-- sandwiched between Jeff Smith's Bone and my library of Pixar Films."-- Mike Maihack, Cleopatra in Space "Red's Planet is a fantastic and fun journey for young readers, but it's also a great trip down memory lane for their parents. The story weaves together a lot of the fun stories we watched and read in the '80s and '90s and spins them into something new." -- Kazu Kibuishi, creator of Amulet, Flight, and Explorer "Filled with genuine sense of childlike awe and style of story, art, and filmmaking reminiscent of Jeff Smith's Bone. Eddie Pittman really has the goods." -- Dan Povenmire, co-creator of Disney's Phineas and Ferb "A meeting of everything that is great about comic books...incredible art, spellbinding storytelling, rich characters, fun, adventure, humor...and heart." -- Tom Richmond, Mad Magazine artist and President of the National Cartoonist Society
