Book excerpt: The space ship landed briefly, and John Endlich lifted the huge Asteroids Homesteaders Office box, which contained everything from a prefabricated house to toothbrushes for his family, down from the hold-port without help or visible effort. In the tiny gravity of the asteroid, Vesta, doing this was no trouble at all. But beyond this point the situation was—bitter. His two kids, Bubs, seven, and Evelyn, nine—clad in space-suits that were slightly oversize to allow for the growth of young bodies—were both bawling. He could hear them through his oxygen-helmet radiophones. Around him, under the airless sky of space, stretched desolation that he'd of course known about beforehand—but which now had assumed that special and terrible starkness of reality. At his elbow, his wife, Rose, her heart-shaped face and grey eyes framed by the wide face-window of her armor, was trying desperately to choke back tears, and be brave.

Book excerpt: The hero of the novel is Ed Doukas, who is the nephew of the scientist whom everyone blames for the destruction of the Moon (though it's never clear if the scientist is actually guilty); this uncle survived, because he had left the Moon the day before the experiment.Soon, the government learns of the survival of the uncle, and he goes underground. Ed soon finds himself a pariah due to his relation to his uncle.As the story proceeds, there begins to be a debate, then more animosity between people who are natural, and the re-created android personalities, until it begins to resemble McCarthyism, as the naturally-born people believe the androids want to take over the world.Ed learns where his uncle is hiding, and decides to stand with the androids, since the natural-born are so hysterical and are becoming luddites, i.e. they are against all science.Soon, there is a war between the two sides, and that fills up the rest of the story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Planet Strappers by Raymond Z. Gallun Excerpt The Archer Five came in a big packing box, bound with steel ribbons and marked, This end up-handle with care. It was delivered at a subsidized government surplus price of fifty dollars to Hendricks' Sports and Hobbies Center, a store in Jarviston, Minnesota, that used to deal mostly in skin diving equipment, model plane kits, parts for souping up old cars, and the like. The Archer Five was a bit obsolete for the elegant U.S. Space Force boys-hence the fantastic drop in price from two thousand dollars since only last June. It was still a plenty-good piece of equipment, however; and the cost change was a real break for the Bunch.

Download or read book People Minus X and the Savage Machine written by Raymond Z. Gallun and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-24 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels with original illustrations. Our first novel is "People Minus X" written by 20th century science fiction master, Raymond Z. Gallun. But were they really human...? That was the question everyone was asking. It was an astonishing scientific achievement, one that mankind had passionately wanted for centuries-a process that restored life and wholeness to victims of disaster. This amazing new process was based partly on scientific records, partly on memories of those who knew the deceased. Unfortunately, this new discovery had a small, fatal flaw. The restored people were the exact physical duplicates of their former selves. However, they seemed to lack an indefinable human quality-perhaps it was a soul or divine spark. Yet, they were physically and intellectually superior not only to their original incarnations but to their human creators as well! As time went by, the artificial people gravitated toward one another-they married, reproduced. Even their children were recognizable in an uncanny way as being apart from "normal" people. As the number of new people grew, the rest of Earth's population drew away from them, and soon sprang fear and hatred between these two camps of humanity, with an ugly showdown seemingly inevitable... The second novel is gripping fasten-your-seatbelt wild ride, Randall Garrett's "The Savage Machine." He was in the death grip of a monstrous computer. His name was Charlie Leith; he was a city councilman for New York City, sometime in the distant future. It was a pretty high-profile job with a lot of fringe benefits. But there wasn't all that much for Charlie and his fellow councilmen to do anymore, not since Central Control had taken over most of the city's inner workings: police, traffic, telephone calls, elevators, security systems, parks and recreation-you name it, CC had its finger in it. At the heart of Central Control was a gigantic computer called "The Brain," and it basically ran the whole show. All Charlie had to do was show up for work, debate politics, and vote on an occasional bill. No doubt about it, Charlie Leith had a great career going for himself. Then one day somebody with a gun in his hand knocked on Charlie's door. His name was Henry Kraus, a disgruntled, ex-employee of Central Control. Henry Kraus fed Charlie the most unbelievable story-a fantastic tale of a planned takeover of the entire city. It was laughable. But when Henry Kraus ended up dead at the bottom of an elevator shaft, Charlie knew that something was amiss. And soon Charlie Leith was running for his life. But where do you hide from a computer that has its creeping electronic fingers reaching for you everywhere you turn?

Book excerpt: "Happiness, Guaranteed..." In the not-too-distant future, money truly can buy happiness, and Hedonics, Inc., is willing to sell it to you. They'll even offer you a money-back guarantee, if you're not "happy" with the product. But with their team of psychologists, life specialists, and self-improvement coaches, they don't have any "unhappy" customers. What happens when a company grows too big, becomes too successful? It wants to guarantee its place in society and its future, and Hedonics is no exception. When your product is happiness, the way you guarantee your success is to pass laws mandating happiness. But when universal happiness is required, does it really matter if you're getting what you want, or happy with what you have? James Gunn has been a professional science fiction writer for more than 60 years, and in 2007, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America named him a Grand Master.
