For the first time in paperback, Armchair Fiction presents extra large paperback editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel, “Terror Station,” is a sci-fi nail-biter by Dwight V. Swain. A desert of doom? On a secluded military base in the middle of the desert, Carl Stone encounters a distinct change in his comrades perceptions upon his return to base from a trip to D.C. The entire contingent appears to have a tenuous grasp on reality…and what was that constant buzzing sound? Suddenly, sheer madness—monstrous creatures appearing out of nowhere. Yet Stone knew it was not madness he was fighting—but a vicious mind-controlling enemy. The stake: Earth! The second novel, “The Weapon From Eternity” is another great outer space epic. Once again, the Federation was ruled by madmen, twisted by their greed and lust for power. They sought the “ultimate weapon” to quash the Raider planets for good, and claim the universe as their prize. Jarl Corvett, freeborn Raider, thought of those who’d lived, and those who’d died, whether they lived or died for good or evil. He thought of freedom… Here is another great tale from Dwight V. Swain, a master story-teller not only in the field of science fiction, but in the mystery, western, and action adventure genres as well.
