The Sinister Invasion

“The Sinister Invasion” is an exciting adventure classic by one of the science fiction genre’s most beloved authors, Edmond Hamilton. It was strange…how easy it was to step right out of your own life, right out of the familiar Earth you’d always known, and into a cosmic mystery! That’s what happened to Ross Birrel, and it all started by opening the door to his own apartment! He soon found himself in the role of a most unlikely undercover agent—an agent with one specific purpose: to uncover an alien spy ring right here on Earth. Only it wasn’t that simple, and Birrel soon discovered there was an alien threat far more sinister than anyone on Earth could have imagined. But the key to the mystery depended on whether or not he could trust a female alien—a beautiful woman from beyond the stars who might be a friend to Earth…or its worst enemy.

NERVE: Adventures in the Science of Fear

Award-winning long-form journalist Eva Holland had always felt that her deepest fear was the death of a loved one. When her mother suddenly passes away, she's sent spiraling into an odyssey of confronting fear itself. Along with investigating the science of fear, Holland uses herself as a test subject, jumping out of airplanes, rock climbing, and delving into her fears of loss to better understand what her research in the science, medicine, and history of fear reveals. Along the way, Holland meets the scientists who are developing a pill to leech the fear and horror from traumatic memories and seeks out the sufferers of a rare disease that prevents them from ever feeling fear. She sifts through what we know about the dynamics of how fear spreads in a crowd (and, too often, how it metastasizes into anger and hate). And she applies what she learns to manage her own fears. A mix of Mary Roach and Cheryl Strayed, Holland explores the universal human questions: Why and how do we feel fear? Why does fear seem to spread through groups and crowds like an airborne virus? And, most importantly, is there a cure for fear-and, if so, is "facing our fears" really that cure?

Captain Future #10 Outlaws of the Moon

From the pages of classic Pulp, Captain Future flies into action, displaying the most exciting aspects of Science Fiction. Although modeled to a degree after Doc Savage, Captain Future is also the ultimate space opera hero. Coming complete with not only a tragic, yet inspiring origin story driving him into defending interstellar justice, everyone and everything Curt Newton encounters is colorful, vibrant, and over the top, definite trademarks of the best space opera. Although an orphan, Curtis Newton's parents left him with gifts that would most definitely lead to him becoming Captain Future, the superman of the spaceways. His mother, Elaine, provided him with his mission, to become the protector of the solar system, to fight for justice wherever it may take him. Roger, his father, not only passed on incredible genius and scientific skills, but he provided him with three caregivers that would grow to be the greatest team a space faring hero could have - The Futuremen! The Futuremen all have their origins in the Moon Laboratory that is both home and headquarters to Captain Future. Referred to as a 'citadel of science', the Moon Laboratory is designed in a circular fashion and contains quarters for the Futuremen, even though not all of them, such as Grag, actually require rest. A reference library containing the vast knowledge of the universe, the Brain's personal lab, a large room that serves as both workspace and social area with a glassite window as ceiling, and many other rooms make up the Moon Laboratory, definitely the perfect place for an interplanetary hero to call his own. Rocket into science fiction adventure and discover new worlds. Ripped from the pages of the Spring 1942 issue of Captain Future magazine, "Outlaws of the Moon" is read with wonder and excitement by Milton Bagby.
