Book excerpt: Raiders Meet Grim Starlight Justice in the interstellar void. Note: short storyexcerpt"Blazing Novas!"" exclaimed Lt. Hermer, looking down into the funnel-shaped declivity."They're hatching. It must be an incubator here on Vaporia."High overhead shone the pinkish-hued Rigel, tiny as a child's marble, yet so intensely luminous as to give scarcely less light than the solar sun on Earth, even through the diffusing atmosphere of Vaporia, a cold husk of a former star, which just now was acting as Lieutenant Hermer's prison.He had been marooned here a few hours before by two of his erstwhile prisoners, the Mason brothers, whose elusive trail of savagery and crime had led across space from planet to planet. Now he was startled at what was taking place in the funnel shaped cleft.Lemon-yellow bodies writhed from torn yard-long cocoons; tiny yellow arms, legs and antennae developed as the sun dried agglutinous declivity.Since hatching the figures had expanded incredibly. "What a childhood!" murmured Lieutenant Hermer, noting the shafts of sea-weed consistency that composed the outer walls of the incubator, while it was obviously covered by a transparent conical roof that sheltered the fledgling bodies. "What kind of creatures are there on Vaporia! Ouch!"

Download or read book All the Time in the World written by J. Harvey Haggard and published by eStar Books. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The boy was tall and handsome and ... red. ...This boy, whom he had always thought of as his son. ExcerptStephan Wentworth had not had such a good laugh for as long as he could remember. He had spent twenty arduous, triumphant years Nereid, fifteenth planet of the star Alpha Centauri. Some star-maps actually listed the little planet as Wentworths Planet because of huge land grants given him by the natives. The people of Nereid, though extremely generous in their traits, were naturally slothful. Stephan Wentworth had driven them to their tasks. He had hounded the migrant earthmen, equally lazy. Men hated him for accumulating such wealth and prestige on another planet - but this! Doc Lezen was a card all right. It was the tallest tale he'd heard in many a Nereidan moon. Coming naked from the germicidal mist-shower that ended the medical examination, Stephan Wentworth stood in a jet of warm drying air. He was a large man, big boned and heavy, but even at fifty-two this red-haired giant did not display the usual flabbiness of that age. He reached in the locker for his clothing, consisting of the silvery metaline tunic, breeches of planetary white, soft gravity slippers with cushion soles. Then the humor of it overcame him. He staggered around laughing, one foot in the breeches, the other out. An incredulous look transformed the usual severity of his strong face, making him appear younger than he actually was. Exertion in this thin rarefied air sent pain stabbing into his pleural regions, made him gasp. Remembering his oxytank, the one he usually wore at all times, he saw it on a table. After a puzzled moment, Dr. Frank Lezen joined in the merriment. Old Frank was not huge like Stephan Wentworth. He was sixty-four. There would be a time, not long hence, when he would hang up his stethoscope forever and retire to one of the pleasure planets. Laughter racked and threatened to injure his frail body in its loose garb of sanitary white plasticloth. His thin face was crowned by tufts of white hair like quotation marks, underlined by a short but imposing beard. Now the face became a writhing morass of wrinkles as his mouth gaped open and his laughter emerged as a dry cackling. "Sent a fleet of fifty ships to space yesterday!" Stephan Wentworth had bragged. "Everyone loaded to the hilt with cargo. We loaded them in three days and two nights and four hours and five minutes. That's a record, let me tell you, even for Stephan Wentworth." No doubt of his physical fitness bothered him. He could hardly remember the day he'd been sick.

Book excerpt: The sun had dropped behind the Grimaldi plateau, although for a day twilight would linger over the Oceanus Procellarum. The sky was a hazy blue, and out over the deeper tinted waves the full Earth swung. All the long half-month it had hung there above the horizon, its light dimmed by the sunshine, growing from a thin crescent to its full disk three times as broad as that of the sun at setting. Now in the dusk it was a great silver lamp hanging over Nardos, the Beautiful, the City Built on the Water. The light glimmered over Pg 296] the tall white towers, over the white ten-mile-long adamantine bridge running from Nardos to the shore, and lit up the beach where we were standing, with a brightness that seemed almost that of day.
