STARTLING STORIES – Winter 2011... This issue brings you even more of the great stories from the Golden Age of Science Fiction, as well as newer stories by some of today's top writers! “The Black Star Passes” by John W. Campbell, Jr. is a true masterpiece, and “The Jameson Satellite” by Neil R. Jones, which may not be as familiar to many, is also a true classic that many readers remember fondly. “Asru, Willik and the Wolf” by Gerald W. Page and “Time is of the Essence” by K.G. McAbee are also featured in this issue, along with Ron Wilber's wonderful “Saucy Blaine” comic, which will be ending it's run soon. We will be sad when it departs these pages, but Mr. Wilber has decided to focus on other features. I know we'll all miss Saucy and Zeech! And we top off this issue with a Retro-Review look back at the Batman movie films in a great feature by Chris Carney. And if the cover looks familiar, it's because it's one of the best from the “original” Startling Stories (Sept. 1950) by Earle K. Bergey, and in keeping with our tradition of mixing the old with the new, we are pleased to present it to readers who may not have that particular issue in their collection.  Read and Enjoy!

The Jameson Satellite by Neil R. Jones, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Adventure

The mammoths of the ancient world have been wonderfully preserved in the ice of Siberia. The cold, only a few miles out in space, will be far more intense than in the polar regions and its power of preserving the dead body would most probably be correspondingly increased. When the hero-scientist of this story knows he must die, he conceives a brilliant idea for the preservation of his body, the result of which even exceeded his expectations. What, how, and why are cleverly told here.

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel is “The Moon Pirates” by the man who gave us the Professor Jameson series, Neil R. Jones. “The Moon Pirates” is an extraordinary science fiction adventure tale. The plot is simple: A group of space liner passengers is abducted by a band of space buccaneers and taken to a secret underground lair on the moon where they face unimaginable brutality from their bloodthirsty captors. No…you’ll find no serious themes or underlying intellectual thought here. It’s a straightforward piece of space opera, written in a style similar to Jones’ wildly successful Professor Jameson tales. Yet this tale stands out for its sheer over-the-top depictions of violence and cruelty. These moon pirates are not nice people, inflicting unthinkable acts of barbarism against their captives. One of the main antagonists, Nez Hulan, is a character out of your worst nightmares—half-man, half machine, consisting of mechanical limbs, an aluminum-plated skull, metal ears, and a rubber heart. “The Moon Pirates” is an outer space roller coaster ride from start to finish. The second novel is Harl Vincent’s “Callisto at War.” Back in the 1930s when Harl Vincent’s wonderful Callisto saga was published, gigantic telescopes of enormous power had been in use for many years. They had helped mankind study all the heavenly orbs within our Solar System in great detail. Even in those days, fairly good charts of the Lunar and Martian surfaces had been carefully plotted. But at that time, Earth’s scientists were essentially clueless about what lay on the other side of the moon, and they concluded—rightfully so—that only a trip into space could ever help us solve the mysteries of the moon’s hidden side. In this non-stop, classic space opera yarn, Harl Vincent gave us that trip to the moon, along with some of the most rousing space battles ever put on paper. The Armchair Fiction edition of “Callisto at War” (originally published as two separate yet wholly connected novelettes) is a gallivanting roller coaster ride into the wilds of outer space.

Armchair fiction presents extra large editions of the best in classic science fiction novels and short stories. Here’s our first installment of a soon to be five-book series, “The Professor Jameson Saga, Book One,” written by one of the original masters of space opera, Neil R. Jones. There are three novellas and one bonus story in this first book. After his dead, yet perfectly preserved, body spent forty million years in a coffin spaceship circling the Earth, Professor Jameson awoke to discover that the Zoromes, an alien race of highly advanced intellects, had stumbled upon his eternally-orbiting spaceship. Removing his brain, they placed it into a virtually immortal mechanical body, just like their own, and resuscitated him from the dead. The Professor, after learning humanity had long since perished from the face of the Earth, was persuaded to accompany them, roaming the universe in search of strange worlds and high adventures. They soon encountered a planet with two suns whose Triped inhabitants had perished from suicide &amp; madness. While the professor wasn’t affected, the Zoromes, unable to defend themselves, succumbed to the same strange malady, eventually leaving the professor alone and despondent, in a crippled Zorome ship. After hundreds of years, ancestors of the doomed Triped colony—now capable of space travel—rescued the Professor. Upon learning the fate of the first Triped colonists, they returned to the planet of double suns on a mission of revenge! Against a background of epic advances and deadly conflicts, Professor Jameson, along with the men of Zor, find never-ending scientific adventures and intrigue in these thrilling stories by Neil R. Jones.
