Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel, "The Man Who Stopped at Nothing" is by veteran sci-fi author and editor, Paul W. Fairman. Caught between life and death-Dorn Lattimore was just your average working joe taking a break from the wife and kids. Then BAM! He woke to find himself looking through a plate glass window enjoying a luscious nude, who was leisurely picking out her wardrobe from any number of department store mannequins. It was in this upper plane that Dorn began to really appreciate the finer things in life. What followed was a madcap adventure of two soul mates literally trapped in the next level up, the upper plane between life and death. These unlikely lovers even have their very own mad scientist-a twisted genius who unknowingly causes all kinds of collateral damage in this spirited tale from the golden age of fantasy and science fiction. The second novel, "Ten From Infinity," is another Fairman gem. Something was terribly wrong... It all started innocently enough. A pedestrian was hit by a cab in New York City. No doubt it was the only motor mishap in history with ramifications that reached out to the stars-for at the instant the accident happened, a signal far out in space was registered. Something wasn't quite right, for the doctors discovered their accident patient had two hearts. It was the beginning of the realization that Earth had been invaded by 10 such creatures from outer space. Every effort was made to learn their purpose. An orbital flight was launched to spot alien bodies-only to be destroyed in space. One of the alien men was captured-but no threat of pain or death could unlock the secret in his brain. Something had gone wrong. And somehow, some method had to be found to make it right-before the threat of danger overwhelmed all mankind.
