He soon discovers the planet is ruled by enormous ant-men, who have subjugated the Cupians, a more human-like race of inhabitants, to use as their slaves.

While Myles is in their grasp, he meets and becomes enthralled with Lilla, a beautiful Cupian maiden who has been kidnapped from her own people and enslaved by the giant monsters. Though more human-like in appearance, she, too, seems totally without the power of hearing or speech. Using all his wits, Cabot must devise a way to escape from his captors in order to help Lilla and the Cupians end their long slavery to their Formian masters.

These four are a selection that give a good taste of his offbeat approach, strange sense of humor and relaxed narrative style that brought joy and excitement to those of us who bought these magazines and saw his name on the cover. In the first, Martian V.F.W., some strange visitors join a parade; in the second, Jubilation, U.S.A, our first visitors from outer space encounter a One-Armed Bandit and don't exactly hit the jackpot; in the third, Moon Glow, the first Americans on the Moon receive an unwelcome surprise; and in the last, The Observers, a sinister plot involving bald men is thwarted by a dumb secretary 1 - Martian V.F.W. 2 - Jubilation, U.S.A. 3 - Moon Glow 4 - The Observers, part 1 5 - The Observers, part 2 Giphantia Charles-François Tiphaigne de La Roche (1722 - 1744) Read by by Kirk Ziegler Running Time:03:16:38 in 1 MP3 Audio CD After having gone over the whole world and visited all the inhabitants, I find it does not answer the pains I have taken. I have just been reviewing my memoirs concerning the several nations, their prejudices, their customs and manners, their politics, their laws, their religion, their history; and I have thrown them all into the fire. It grieves me to record such a monstrous mixture of humanity and barbarous, of grandeur and meanness, of reason and folly. The small part, I have preserved, is what I am now publishing. If it has no other merit, certainly it has novelty to recommend it. (Introduction to Giphantia) Lion Loose James H. Schmitz (1911 - 1981) Read by Winston Tharp Running Time:02:18:44 in 1 MP3 Audio CD The most dangerous of animals is not the biggest and fiercest—but the one that's hardest to stop. Add intelligence to that ... and you may come to a wrong conclusion as to what the worst menace is.... - Summary by Analog Science Fact & Fiction Short Science Fiction Collection 016 Read by Multiple Readers Running Time:3:18:46 in 1 MP3 Audio CD Science fiction (abbreviated SF or sci-fi with varying punctuation and case) is a broad genre of fiction that often involves sociological and technical speculations based on current or future science or technology. This is a reader-selected collection of short stories that entered the US public domain when their copyright was not renewed. 1 - All Day September - Roger Kuykendall 2 - Beyond the Door - Philip K. Dick 3 - Blessed Are the Meek - G. C. Edmondson 4 - The Calm Man - Frank Belknap Long 5 - The Crystal Crypt - Philip K. Dick 6 - The Gift Bearer - Charles L Fontenay 7 - Out of This World Convention - Forrest James Ackerman 8 - A Scientist Rises - Desmond Winter Hall 9 - Texas Week - Albert Hemhuter 10 - Year of the Big Thaw - Marion Zimmer Bradley The Goddess of Atvatabar William Richard Bradshaw (1851 - 1927) Read by Nigel Fisher Running Time:08:56:19 in 1 MP3 Audio CDAn accident during a polar expedition leads the crew of the Polar King to the discovery of an entire world within the earth.

The crew proceed to explore and in true Victorian fashion then conquer the new world. An extraordinary feat of imagination and inventiveness by this obscure author. The House on the Borderland William Hope Hodgson (1877 - 1918) Read by John Van Stan Running Time:05:38:29 This story helped propel 19th Century gothic fiction in the direction of “cosmic” horror. In fact, H.P. Lovecraft lists it as among his greatest influences. It begins simply enough: with two friends stumbling upon a ruined and curious house while vacationing in a remote village. After reading the tattered journal of the old recluse who lived there, they are shocked to discover an inter-dimensional, reality-bending nightmare full of nearly-indescribable horrors that range from demons, to bestial (somewhat Lovecraftian) monsters, and devastating parasitic fungal diseases.

Copeland Running Time:06:21:06 in 1 MP3 Audio CD Sabotage accidentally takes Earth's first manned interplanetary expedition to the Moon, where a sub-lunar adventure ensues, involving two intelligent species and a good deal of fighting as well as romance. The perceptive reader will perceive the author's peculiar notions concerning the behavior of volcanoes, an offense against scientific fact that is hard to pardon in a writer of science fiction, but if it can be overlooked, the variety of incident and the fast pace of the action, full of surprises, amply repay the reader's generous indulgence.
