Description

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel is "The Secret Kingdom" by Otis Adelbert Kline and Allen S. Kline. Deep in a South American mountain hideaway was a secret kingdom of lost Indians, descended from a race once conquered by the Spaniards. They were a race of peaceful people, but a race that jealously guarded the secrecy of their city. Into this realm biologist Alfred Bell ventured in hopes of finding species of previously undiscovered plants and insects. But after a run-in with a poison dart, followed by his subsequent rescue, Bell found himself a permanent "resident" of this city. There he became hopelessly in love and the target of a jealous high priest, an enraged wrestler, and even a hunger-maddened boa constrictor! Join renowned science fiction author Otis Adelbert Kline and his son Allen as they spin an engaging web of conspiracy, sabotage, and murder. The second novel is another sci-fi goodie, "Scratch One Asteroid" by Willard Hawkins, which deals with treachery and piracy in deep space. The most vicious criminals of time and space rode the penal ship Verulin, the ship that was known for being "escape-proof." It's final destination was a massive penal colony on the distant asteroid, Ceres. There the Verulin's three hundred-plus prisoners would be deposited and permanently lodged. But it didn't take too long for a hardened space criminal like Brent Agar to devise a way out of his prison cell; and then to secure a one-way escape ticket into the wilds of outer space on board a small space cruiser. Unfortunately, it also meant bringing along a thuggish space pirate named Pete Monson, as well as the beautiful niece of a Terran millionaire. The niece's name was Vesta Clement, and at the end of their journey was a forced landing on her uncle's lavish private asteroid. Only all wasn't right in paradise, as the asteroid turned out to be crawling with green-skinned Venusians--and her uncle was nowhere to be found...
