One Was Stubborn

Things are disappearing. Parts of buildings, parts of people, parts of the whole world—they’re here today, gone tomorrow. Old Shellback thinks he needs glasses. But all he really has to do is open his eyes ... and see the light. Or so says George Smiley—otherwise known as the Messiah. George claims that the reason things are vanishing is because he wants them to go away. He has no more use for the world ... and so it goes. Say goodbye. But Old Shellback has a different idea, and since he is the most stubborn man in the universe, you might want to hear him out. What’s Shellback’s idea? That two can play at this game. While George is making this world disappear, Old Shellback will make another one appear. Join him on an amazing odyssey—as he heads back to a future of his own making. Also includes the Science Fiction adventures: “A Can of Vacuum,” in which a practical joke on a space station proves that a good sense of humor is timeless; and “240,000 Miles Straight Up,” the thrilling story of a race to the moon ... and the one man who may be able to save the earth from Armageddon.

Fear

A novel of compelling suspense. Professor James Lowry didn’t believe in spirits, or witches, or demons. Not until a gentle spring evening when his hat disappeared, and suddenly he couldn’t remember the last four hours of his life. Now, the quiet university town of Atworthy is changing—slightly at first, then faster and more frighteningly each time he tries to remember. Lowry is pursued by a dark, secret evil that is turning his whole world against him while it whispers a warning from the shadows: If you find your hat you’ll find your four hours. If you find your four hours then you will die.... “A classic tale of creeping, surreal menace and horror... one of the really, really good ones.” —Stephen King

Fortune of Fear:

Mission Earth Volume 5 (Reissue)

The Voltarian invaders are getting down and dirty ... in the deadliest of games. The price: Planet Earth. Voltarian Royal Officer Jettero Heller has heart, nerve and a quick mind on his side. His archenemy Soltan Gris has cunning, ruthlessness and a devious plan on his. But what neither of them has is money—and without that they may as well pack up and go back to Voltar. Because as every earthling knows—no pay, no play. Heller’s solution is a weekend in Atlantic City, where he puts a new spin on gambling. He's got a foolproof system, guaranteeing that he’ll win every bet he makes. Gris, on the other hand, has found an unexpected source of income. His body. Turns out there are certain women, with a very perverse sense of humor, willing to pay to play with him. Into this world of dirty money, dirty tricks and dirty games, the wildest of wild cards is about to change everything. Countess Krak is back—and this voluptuous Voltarian, condemned murderess and love of Heller’s life could prove to be the key player in coming to grips with a Fortune of Fear. “The adventure, colored by broad strokes of satire, is written with a vigor.” —Publishers Weekly This book is intended for mature audiences.

rom his earliest years, L. Ron Hubbard was a man of extraordinary talents. Long
before he began writing fiction for the “pulp” magazines of the 1930s, he had
been to China, Europe and South America as a very young man. He lived a
highly peripatetic life from the outset. His father was an important naval officer,

Rather, what led Ron to visit so broadly was a family tradition—one of
