The 50th Golden Age of Science Fiction MEGAPACK®: Russ Winterbotham

By: Russ Winterbotham

Russell Robert Winterbotham (1904-1971)—who wrote as both R.R. Winterbotham and Russ Winterbotham (as well as the pseudonyms “J. Harvey Bond” for mysteries and “Franklin Hadley”)—began publishing in the late 1920s, though his didn’t make his science fiction debut until 1935, when “The Star that Would not Behave” appeared in Astounding. He published prolifically in most of the top magazines of the day, before settling into an action-adventure niche. From the fiction magazines, he moved into comics (writing for Red Ryder), comic strips (he penned “Chris Welkin, Planeteer” from its start in 1951 into the 1960s), and Big Little books for the Whitman Publishing Company (he wrote at least 60, including the Maximo the Amazing Superman series). All the while, he maintained his full-time job as fiction editor for Scripps-Howard NEA news service. In those days, newspapers published fiction, and many had a weekly insert that included full-length novels. Although well regarded, his novels—which appeared under pseudonyms—failed to attract much fan attention, and he is largely forgotten today. Nevertheless, modern readers will enjoy his better-than-average writing and fun, action-adventure plots—often with clever twists. Included in this volume are: ORIDIN’S FORMULA THE MINUS WOMAN DEAD MAN’S PLANET THE THOUGHT-MEN OF MERCURY THE MONSTER THAT THREATENED THE UNIVERSE LONESOME HEARTS A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE THE WHISPERING SPHERES GENESIS!

The Shining City

By: Rena Marie Vale,Ross Winterbotham

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel, “The Shining City” is grand futuristic adventure by Rena M. Vale. There was a deadly conflict between nature and science. Thor Larsen was an outsider—a “Northerner.” But he had left the wilds of the northern wilderness for a life dedicated to the greatest engineering feat of the modern age—the building of The Shining City, which was now a super-metropolis ruled by a cold scientific government. However, in spite of his staggering successes, Thor Larsen’s heart was heavy with the suspicion that his own son was a traitor to the city—but heavier still was the feeling that Thor himself had betrayed something even greater! Soon a war was brewing between the raw forces of nature and the technological power of hard, emotionless science. The second novel is a tale of revenge on Mars, “The Red Planet,” by sci-fi veteran Russ Winterbotham. When Gail Loring chose Bill Drake to be her husband—in name only—for the duration of the flight to Mars, she didn’t know that she had just signed his death warrant. Jealous Dr. Spartan, the leader of the expedition, swore to get revenge and force Gail to share his maniacal plan for power. Bound together in space, five men and a woman strained against the powerful tug of twisted emo¬tions and secret ambitions. But all plans were forgotten when they landed on the Red Planet and encountered the Martians—half animal, half vegetable—with acid for blood and radar for sight. When the Martians launched an assault against the spaceship, linking their electrical energy in an awesome display of power, Spartan realized that this was the perfect moment for personal revenge—and touched off his own diabolical plan of destruction against his fellow crewmen.
