Armchair Fiction features the best in classic science fiction short story collections. "Masters of Science Fiction, Vol. Five” features the works of Winston K. Marks. When you read this collection it gives you some things to ponder: What kind of reception would you expect on an Earth-like planet, many light years from home? Have you ever had a telepathic conversation with an insect? What would it feel like to murder seven of your fellow cohorts so that you could keep eight million dollars in stolen loot all to yourself? Where would you think a spaceman’s underwear were supposed to go? These are some of the questions you may ask yourself when living in the outlandish, futuristic, and wildly imaginative world of Winston K. Marks.
