Four Complete SF Novels From the Legendary Pulp Magazine!<\/em><\/p>\n

Imagination<\/em> was the last science fiction magazine featuring action-adventure novels and stories in the grand tradition of the pulps. And it was the \"complete\" science fiction adventure novel Imagination<\/em> ran in each issue that readers ranked number one in their \"likes.\" Many of these novels take place in highly-colored outer space and\/or distant planet settings, but others are Earth-bound tales of tension and suspense in regimented near futures, or which involved alien intrigue, dangerous inventions, or extra-sensory powers taking place today (or at least the \"today\" of the 1950s). But whatever the subject or background of the novel, in Imagination<\/em> the emphasis was always on action, drama, peril, and color.<\/p>\n

The four novels we have selected for this inaugural issue of the new, revived Imagination<\/em> are representative of the brand of unabashed adventure that could be found in any issue of the magazine. The Terror out of Space<\/em> by Dwight V. Swain is the story of rebellion in the relatively-near future, during the conquest of the solar system, against the tyrannical Cartel that holds the planets under an iron grip.<\/p>\n

Edmond Hamilton's The Ship from Infinity<\/em>, on the other hand, takes us to the distant future and the very edge of the galaxy to a strange, vast ship, the product of alien technology and the object of men's cupidity for wealth and power.<\/p>\n

Armageddon, 1970<\/em> by Geoff St. Reynard is an alien invasion story and flying saucer shocker, of Earth nearly crushed by the might of otherworldly weapons, while Boyd Ellanby's The Star Lord<\/em> is the story of how the captain of a commercial passenger ship plying its trade among the stars copes when, due to sabotage, the entire ship is endangered.<\/p>\n

All four are by frequent contributors, whose names became associated with Imagination<\/em> over the years. Two are by men who helped make the golden age of the pulp science fiction magazines golden: Edmond Hamilton and Dwight V. Swain. Two are by writers whose contributions may have been less frequent, but were more than made up for by their quality.<\/p>\n

We hope you will join us for Issue Two of Imagination<\/em>, coming soon!<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n \r\n \t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n
