We, the Machine & Planet of Dread
- Used Book in Good Condition
Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel, â€œWe, the Machineâ€ is an outstanding, previously unheralded science fiction classic by Gerald Vance. It was the machine that provided everything. No one had ever thought it possible. It was the ultimate creation of science, a vast underground machine that knew no limits. It provided everything for the people of Mid-Americaâ€”ample food, expensive clothing, luxurious dwellingsâ€”everything. Whatever you wanted was provided to you in a matter of minutes, sometimes seconds. And the Machine did it without ever making errors or oversights. It was a marvel of scientific perfection. Then one day it started making mistakesâ€”and the world trembled. Gerald Vance was a house name used by numerous authors for pulp science fiction magazines back in the â€˜40s and â€˜50s. In this case we believe it might have been either Paul W. Fairman or Rog Phillips. â€œWe the Machineâ€ certainly reads like a Fairman or a Phillips story, and the plot is in the same vein as many of their favorite themes. But regardless of who its true author may have been, â€œWe the Machineâ€ is a forgotten science fiction gem of the first magnitude. The second novel is by one of sci-fiâ€™s best storytellers, Dwight V. Swain. â€œPlanet of Dreadâ€ is about a slithering horror from outer space. Something was amiss on the distant planet of Lysor. Rumors were rampant that a new super-weapon was now in the possession of Lysorâ€™s ruthless leader, Lord Zenaor. Armed with a Federation starship, Special Envoy Craig Nesom hurtled across the void to investigate. What he found, though, was not so much a weapon as it was a slithering biological monstrosityâ€”a creeping fungus slime that threatened the entire planet of Lysor, and someday perhaps even the Earth itself. It was only the strange gift of a dying patriot that held promise for a way of destroying the crawling horror. Unfortunately for Nesom, his success depended on his trusting a woman he both loved and hatedâ€¦the beautiful daughter of Lord Zenaor himself!
