Armchair Fiction presents illustrated, extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels with original illustrations. "The Lady of Light" is a masterpiece of interplanetary adventure from a dean of science fiction, Jack Williamson. The thousands of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter had once formed a mighty planet, a planet that had swung through our Solar System with ease. It had been home to a mighty civilization of humanoid creatures. This race was so powerful, so advanced, that even the destruction of their own world had not led to their extinction. To survive they had created a new world--Yothanda. And with the use of cosmic rays, the people of Yothanda had transformed their physical selves into a race of super beings. But over the centuries their civilization had grown stale, idle, and decadent. There were few who still believed the old ways. But one of those believers was a young woman called Sharothon. And it was her chance meeting with two dying space explorers from Earth that set in motion a titanic final struggle on her world between the forces of good and evil. The second novel is "The Swordsman of Pira" by science fiction icon, Charles Recour. It was supposed to be a quick experiment through time and space. In the spirit of scientific adventure Professor Wayne Morrow had offered his services as "guinea pig" in the strangest experiment ever conducted at the University. His colleague, Dr. Graves, had fashioned a fantastic new device that could send any object, living or inanimate, into a different time stream--into an altogether unknown world! It was supposed to be a short "in and out" trip--a quick peek into a different reality. But when Wayne Morrow landed in this other world, he found himself sitting in a grassy field...totally naked. To his amazement he also saw a wild-looking, beautiful woman staring at him, smiling coyly. It was when Wayne took a step in her direction that his life changed forever. And soon Wayne Morrow was knee-deep in an adventure that even Edgar Rice Burroughs would have admired.
