Book excerpt: The public abruptly ceased to be interested in news of the signals. Rather, it suddenly wanted to stop thinking about them. The public was scared. Throughout all human history, the most horrifying of all ideas has been the idea of something which was as intelligent as a man, but wasn't human. The first sounds came at midnight, a plaintive keening from an unknown voice in the vastness of uncharted space. Within hours the whole world had heard the strange, unearthly music--and the panic had begun. Were the sounds a plea for help? From whom? From where? Or were they a command too terrible to think about? No one knew: And in billions of earth-bound minds the horror grew... For how could man, who had not yet claimed the moon, defy a challenge from the stars? And hours later, to the ears of a helpless world, the second message came. . . And Earth's days were numbered.

Download or read book The Wailing Asteroid and the World That Couldn t Be written by Murray Leinster and published by . This book was released on 2014-01-23 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. The first novel is sci-fi maestro Murray Leinster's "The Wailing Asteroid." There was no life on the asteroid, but the miles of rock-hewn corridors through which the Earth party wandered left no doubt about the purpose of the asteroid. It was a mighty fortress, stocked with weapons of destruction beyond man's power to understand. And yet there was no life here, nor had there been for untold centuries. What race had built this stronghold? What unimaginable power were they defending against? Why was it abandoned? There was no answer, all was dead. But-not quite all. For in a room above the tomb-like fortress a powerful transmitter beamed its birdlike, fluting sounds toward Earth. Near it, on a huge star map of the universe, with light-years measured by inches, ten tiny red sparks were moving, crawling inexorably toward the center. Moving, at many times the speed of light, with the acquired mass of suns...moving, on a course that would pass through the solar system. The unknown aliens would not even see our sun explode from the force of their passing. They would not even notice the tiny speck called Earth as it died... The second novel is "The World that Couldn't Be" by one of the top-tier science fiction writers of all time, Clifford D. Simak. Life on the planet Laynard was more than unusual. Gavin Duncan had settled on this distant planet because it was virtually unspoiled and unpopulated by man, making the farming opportunities endless. While his livelihood depended on this plantation being a success, he did not know the planet well, or its peculiarities, and had virtually no knowledge about the wildlife. When he found he'd lost part of his crop to a strange beast, his job was plain... Like every farmer on every planet, Duncan had to hunt down anything that damaged his crop, and kill it. The natives were quite peculiar regarding the hunting of certain beasts, especially the one he was after, the Cytha. With a lot of persuasion, he finally sets out with a local native to track the beast. During the hunt, the strangest things began to take place, and Duncan gets a lesson the hard way about xeno-ecology!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armchair Fiction presents classic sci-fi double novels. The first novel is "Last Call for Doomsday" written by a master of sci-fi adventure, Edmond Hamilton. An asteroid was hurtling toward Earth. There was no doubt that the end of mankind's home was near at hand. But what could be done to save humanity? The task of evacuating the entire population of Earth was daunting enough; and it didn't help matters that the man who discovered the asteroid, Lee Kendrick, hadn't seen fit to leave the planet himself! So now there were millions who thought it was all just a ruse. They weren't going to be fooled! But Lee Kendrick hadn't refused to leave, he had been kidnapped--kidnapped by forces with a very sinister plan. So it was up to Jay Wales, a government man on far off Mars, to find Kendrick and bring an end to the confusion. But time was running out for Wales, and Kendrick, and the world...it was Last Call for Doomsday! The second novel is Robert Moore Williams' "The Huntress of Akkan." King and Carson had come to the wilds of Upper Burma in search of their friend, Mackintosh, who had disappeared in the Burmese jungles many months earlier. When they found him, they heard bizarre tales of a lost temple and a mad high priest named Akbad. Even stranger, they heard Mackintosh rant on about an extraordinary place he'd visited, a place he could only describe as "heaven." But as wild as these accounts seemed, it wasn't long before King and Carson found themselves at the mercy of the of the very man Mackintosh had described as "a god." However, Akbad was a real man and a real high priest. Only his powers were far greater than anyone could have imagined, and before long King and Carson found themselves fighting for their lives in a horrifying world that had all the appearances of being another planet in another solar system...perhaps even in another universe! A planet ruled by a beautiful she-devil with a lust for blood.
