Armchair Fiction presents extra large paperback collections of the best in classic science fiction short stories. In the grand early days of science fiction pulp magazines there was often a common theme to their stories—an ingenious scientist (often aided by a young disciple) comes up with some revolutionary discovery that drastically changes (usually for the good) mankind’s future. We have any number of those types of tales in this latest edition of Armchair Fiction’s Science Fiction Gems (volume nineteen). In “The Colloidal Nemesis” a scientist invents a new weapon that will end the war of all wars. “Islands in the Air” has an inventor able to carve out sections of Earth’s surface and float them in the air. An aging scientist surprises his young assistant with a device that can look closely at the surface of distant planets in far-off galaxies in “The Radio Telescope.” In “The Perfect Bride” a scientist shows us a way of assembling a woman of perfection. And if inter-dimensional travel is your thing, come take a peek at “The Blue Dimension,” courtesy of another scientist’s daring discovery. All of these eggheads and more await you in this excellent latest volume of Armchair Fiction’s Science Fiction Gems. Here’s the full lineup: THE COLLOIDAL NEMESIS By Harl Vincent THE RADIO TELESCOPE By Stanton A. Coblentz THE METAL WORLD By Ed Earl Repp THE SUPERPERFECT BRIDE By Bob Olsen THE SPACE DWELLERS By Raymond Gallun SUB-SATELLITE By Charles Cloukey THE MOON STROLLERS By J.
