There was a place in the asteroid belt called the Hive. It was a deadly whirl of destruction filled with thousands of spiraling asteroids-where no spaceship could enter and return in one piece. And deep within it lurked an unsolved murder. Terwilliger Ames was the best attorney this side of Earth; but when he was swayed by the charms of a beautiful young woman into accepting a murder case, he had no idea his life would soon be in grave danger, and that his adventures would lead him to the deepest part of the asteroid belt in search of a cold-blooded killer. An exceptional, thought-provoking outer space murder mystery.

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel is "The Whispering Gorilla" from the master of wild science fiction, the "mad man," Don Wilcox. Even reporter Steven Carpenter didn't suspect the incredible future that lay in store for him. It had all started because he'd found out too much about a corrupt businessman named Swangler. And Steven Carpenter-being the crusading type-was never afraid to splash what he knew all over the big city newsstands. Then one day someone took a shot at him. So before he knew it, Carpenter was whisked off to the wilds of Africa for his own safety. Hiding on the remote jungle estate of a reclusive scientist, he continued to pound out his finger-pointing news stories. Then one evening a stranger showed up and lit a match, and soon Steven Carpenter was written into the annals of medical history. The second novel is "Return of the Whispering Gorilla" by veteran sci-fi author, David V. Reed. Steven Carpenter had a reputation as one of the best reporters in the business. Tough assignments were his forte, and he was known to be cool, calm, and fearless in the face of danger. Then a paid assassin brought his life to an abrupt end late one sultry African night... Yet he still lived! A strange, fantastic experiment had seen to that. His brain was now inside the skull of a gorilla-and the gorilla could speak and reason. But the life he had once known was gone, and slowly but surely the blood that flowed through his veins began to take over, dulling his humanity and increasing the latent jungle instinct inside of him. And when a regiment of German soldiers turned up, they decided he was the perfect specimen for a new kind of Nazi soldier! Soon the fate of those he cared for depended on Steven Carpenter holding onto his humanity for just a little while longer.

Armchair fiction presents extra large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. "Empire of Jegga," written by David V. Reed, is perhaps one of the most underrated, if not one of the best science fiction novels of the 1940s. It is a grand science fiction tale about a young millionaire's attempt to launch his own private moon expedition. Nick Brewster and the crew of the rocket ship "Trailblazer II" didn't know what to think when they arrived drunk, injured, and confused on the surface of the moon. They had expected to die, but they instead landed in a scene of utter chaos. Brewster and his crew soon found themselves in the middle of an interplanetary conflict, filled with what seemed like daily assassinations and political machinations. But Nick, who possessed scientific knowledge that was coveted by all sides in the conflict, found himself in the company of beautiful women, posing for the fawning military personel, and generally having what appeared to be a grand 'ol time. Nick's crew, however, had other plans. They were going to be part of a cosmic revolution...with or without him. Packed to the brim with action and intrigue, and featuring an unforgettable climax, David V. Reed spins an epic tale in the Burroughs tradition. "Empire of Jegga" is a true science fiction classic.
