Armchair Fiction presents extra-large editions of classic science fiction double novels with original illustrations. The first novel, “Last Call from Sector 9G” is penned by noted science fiction author Leigh Brackett. Lloyd Durham was a boozer and known for not being able to keep his mouth shut. So he was more than a little surprised when he was picked for a secret assignment. But there he was, caught in the middle of a tangled web of interplanetary intrigue than sent him deep into outer space. And before long, he was fighting for his life on a faraway planet, whose very survival had fallen into his hands. The second novel is one of veteran sci-fi writer H. Beam Piper’s very best tales, “Time Crime.” It’s a time in the far-off future, a fantastic era when science has developed the technology to move laterally between parallel universes. In this world live two uniquely talented human beings, Law Enforcement agent Verkan Vall and his wife Hadron Dalla. Together they are ready to embark on a long-overdue vacation to a world with no violence and no crime—a world so boring that there isn’t even a police force. However, at the last minute Vall and Dalla are called before a Paratime police magistrate who sends them off (much to their dismay) to an alien world rife with rumors of an illegal slave trade. And soon after arriving, Vall and Dalla find themselves up to their necks in danger and intrigue. You see it’s one thing to pinpoint a criminal hiding in a population of millions, but trying to track down a gang hiding out on one of billions of probability lines is another thing altogether!
