Milton Lesser Bücher

Ein Zusammentreffen der dritten und vierten Dimension nach dem Kurzroman 'It's raining frogs' von Milton Lesser, erschienen im Jahre 1950. Was Sigmund Freud für die 'Freudianer' war Charles Fort für die 'Fortianer', ein in seiner Zeit bekannter Autor und Pionier in der Beschäftigung mit unerklärlichen Phänomenen. Der Begriff 'forteanisch' im Bereich der Parawissenschaften geht auf ihn zurück. Er spekulierte schon früh über außerirdische Besucher, welche die Erde als ihr Eigentum betrachten, und war somit Vorläufer der UFO-Theorien, obwohl er stets eifrig betonte, selbst nicht dran zu glauben. Seine Schilderungen waren aber für viele Menschen zu gut und aufregend, um nicht wahr zu sein. Eine junge Dame ist verliebt in Forts Theorien, deren praktische Anwendung unter Ausnutzung ihres Ehemannes zu allerlei Durcheinander führt, allerdings mit einem Ausgang, den sich diese Dame aus der dritten und eine ebenso hübsche aus der vierten Dimension so nicht vorgestellt hatten. Eine urkomische Persiflage der Theorien von Fort, unterhaltend ohne großen literarischen Anspruch.

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel is by sci-fi veteran, Milton Lesser. “Jungle in the Sky” is about hunting big game (alien big game) on far-off Ganymede. They were deep space hunters, and their job was to bring back the rarest and most exotic creatures the distant planets had to offer. They searched for their prey from one end of the solar system to the other. From the hot surface of Mercury to the frozen wastelands of Uranus. The prize catch of these alien creatures were the wild anthrovacs, who roamed freely on the surface of far-off Ganymede. These were the creatures the hunters wanted the most—though not as badly as the anthrovacs wanted the hunters! The second novel, “Recalled to Life” is by one of sci-fi’s best known authors, Robert Silverberg. It deals with bring the dead back to life. It was the supreme irony. Humanity, apparently, feared being recalled to life more than it feared death itself. When Harker joined the little group of scientists, he didn’t realize the problems he would face. Their discovery made it possible to revive corpses to full, healthy life. They thought the world would welcome it as the greatest boon of all time. Instead, the world fought them, bitterly and savagely. Bewildered, they could find no way to fight back. The problem was Harker’s to solve, and there seemed to be only one answer… Harker himself had to die!

For the first time in paperback, Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel, "Slaves to the Metal Horde," is another engaging science fiction thriller from Milton Lesser. A terrible war and a great plague had all but destroyed civilization. This left many of the surviving humans as slaves to an army of robots. The same metal creatures they had once been masters to. Would mankind ever be able to regain its supremacy? The second novel, "Hunters Out of Time," is a great sci-fi fantasy by Joseph E. Kelleam. Catapulted into caverns deep within the Earth, Dr. Jack Odin has an adventure equal to his newly acquired title "Nors-King."
