"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Jery Delvin had a most unusual talent. He could detect the flaws in any scheme almost on sight—even where they had eluded the best brains in the ad agency where he worked. So when the Chief of World Security told him that he had been selected as the answer to the Solar System’s greatest mystery, Jery assumed that it was because of his mental agility. But when he got to Mars to find out why fifteen boys had vanished from a spaceship in mid-space, he found out that even his quick mind needed time to pierce the maze of out-of-this-world double-dealing. For Jery had become a walking bomb, and when he set himself off, it would be the end of the whole puzzle of THE SECRET MARTIANS—with Jery as the first to go!"

The Man Who Was Pale: A Tale of Mystery, Madness, and the Unknown
"The Man Who Was Pale by Jack Sharkey first appeared in Fantastic Science Fiction Stories in December 1959. It begins quietly, on a moonlit night as a man recounts the strange visions that have haunted him since childhood—visions of another life he seems to live only in dreams. As his story unfolds, reality and illusion blur, creating a chilling sense that his dream-self might be more real than the waking world. Sharkey builds his unease gradually, through atmosphere and introspection rather than violence, exploring themes of duality, memory, and the thin veil separating worlds. The result is a story that lingers in the imagination long after it ends, more ghostly than gruesome, and deeply human beneath its mystery. Jack Sharkey (1931–1992) was an American writer known for his wit, imagination, and versatility across science fiction, fantasy, and mystery. A frequent contributor to Fantastic, If, and Galaxy magazines, Sharkey’s stories often combined humor with a sly sense of irony. He was equally at home writing eerie speculative tales or lighthearted satire, bringing intelligence and empathy to both. Beyond short fiction, he wrote plays, mystery novels, and even stage adaptations, earning a devoted following for his deft storytelling and inventive twists. Like many pulp-era authors, Sharkey captured the restless spirit of mid-century speculative fiction—a time when imagination pushed against the limits of reality. The Man Who Was Pale exemplifies his gift for weaving unease and wonder together, inviting readers to question not just what is real, but who they truly are when the lights go out."
