Armchair fiction presents extra large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. “G.O.G. 666” was written by mathematician and science fiction author John Taine. This is a taut tale of ethics in genetics…How far is too far? When three Communist scientists arrived in America on an official visit, they brought with them a great, hulking assistant named Gog. U.S. Intelligence believed there was more behind their “visit” than they were claiming, so they enlisted the help of Dr. Clive Chase, who was asked to become a spy. Reluctantly, he accepted the challenge; and in doing so discovered the unthinkable truth behind the visiting scientists’ real motives—a truth that could cost him his life. Here is a terrific science fiction tale about biology run wild, with a good dose of International intrigue thrown in for good measure. According to the author, John Taine, this story may have had some connections to actual real life events. Could G.O.G. 666 have been real? One can only speculate…

Armchair fiction presents extra large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. If lost worlds filled with prehistoric monsters appeal to your adventurous side, then you won’t want to miss “The Greatest Adventure” by heralded sci-fi author John Taine. They ripped the veil off the past. Dr. Eric Lane’s party of five crept across the frozen Antarctic seeking the discovery of the ages. For this explorer-archeologist was following the startling account of a sea captain who had fished a lifeless organism from distant Antarctic waters—a devilish monstrosity that was entirely unknown to the science of modern man. But upon close scientific examination, Dr. Lane discovered this new species wasn’t something from Mother Nature. Its makeup and composition had all the earmarks of some kind of wild genetic engineering, which left Lane to beg the question: Had there once been intelligences on Earth so much higher than our own that they could create new life forms? But even with all his excitement, Dr. Lane was only expecting to find fossils, and perhaps even some ruins. He did not suspect—until too late—that he was opening a Pandora’s box of living horrors.

Joicey held the final clue to his daughter’s whereabouts—a mysterious lead box inscribed in an ancient language with a huge purple sapphire inside. Armed with this new knowledge, Wedderburn then enlisted the help of an adventurer and his niece for the final leg in his never-ending quest. So to the rim of Earth's last frontier they ventured, searching for a long lost girl and holding the sole key to a long forgotten civilization—a civilization that once knew more about science than any scholar in the modern world.</p>

The Purple Sapphire (Lost World-Lost Race Classics)

Armchair Fiction presents extra-large editions of classic science fiction double novels with original illustrations. The first novel is “The Terrible Puppets” by well-known sci-fi and mystery writer, Paul W. Fairman. Paul Flemming was the newest owner of the old Lyceum Theater, where both his father and grandfather had been theatrical greats. Marcy, Paul’s wife, wanted them to set their goals a little higher though, because she had envisioned a certain lifestyle for them both, one filled with fame and success. It seemed that having the Lyceum did something for Marcy—it could be just the ticket that would get her everything she dreamed of. And soon she had written not only a successful play, but both her and Paul were performing as actress and actor in the production and garnering immediate accolades from audiences and critics alike. It was like a dream come true. But what Paul Flemming hadn’t previously known was that his wife had received help. There was something far more than hard work and luck behind her apparent success—and now his! It was an actual living force, something physically alive…and very small. It was also something inherently evil… The second novel is “The Cosmic Geoids” by heralded sci-fi author, John Taine. The first Cosmic Geoid was discovered in 1879 by the Lascelles paleontological expedition. When technicians opened this first geoid, they discovered small thin plates of an odd black metal covered on both sides by minute characters. But the key to the mystery of the symbols etched so deeply into these strange metal plates was difficult to analyze. All this caused quite a stir in the scientific community, leaving more questions than answers. Shoot ahead now three hundred years into the future, and after centuries of searching, forty more of the elusive geoids had been unearthed. Scientists had now deciphered enough of the records to know they contained details of the history and the eventual death of the Eosian universe. Furthermore, it also contained a message of the utmost importance—a message vital for the survival of the human race!
