ACE DOUBLE: THE COILS OF TIME + INTO THE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE

Ace Double paperback, 1964. Cover by Jack Gaughan.

"Dr. Henshaw had created what he thought was a time travel machine and he had sent guinea pigs through it. But now he needed a human guinea pig to test it with. 

Christopher Wilkinson thought the whole idea was absurd, until a book that had been sent through the machine came back with a thumb print on it, the finger print of Vanessa, his long lost sweetheart! 

So Wilkinson agreed to the experiment. He stood in the white circle facing the machine as it began to gleam and spin, pulling him down through the tortuous coils of time...."

Ace Double paperback, 1964. Cover by Ed Valigursky.

"Others called their expedition a "wild ghost chase." But for Space Commodore John Grimes and the beautiful Sonya Verrill who had initiated the project, it was strictly scientific research. Their trip along the rim of the galaxy in search of two men - two dead men - was also an investigation of the long-puzzling phenomenon of the Rim Ghosts. They would do this by penetrating into alternate universes. 

There was only one real problem involved in this study - how to report its results. For once the break-through to an alternate world was achieved, there was no known way of getting out...."

SINISTER BARRIER

Paperback Library paperback, second printing, December 1966,
cover painting by Ed Valigursky (thanks, Mark).

"TIME - 21ST CENTURY 

PLACE - AMERICA 

CRISIS - A WORLD GONE MAD 

PRESIDENT'S WARNING - 

DESTROY THE VITON MENACE - 

OR EARTH HAS ONLY 80 HOURS TO LIVE! 

Bill Graham was among the scientists and government leaders left who heard the president's message. He shuddered at the thought of the last Viton rampage of kidnapping, ghastly murder and madness. Hidden somewhere in the vastness of the galaxy, the hideous blobs of Viton, that fed on men's fears and emotions, planned a last-ditch attack to destroy the universe. Only Bill Graham had a one-in-a-million chance to stop them. But the Vitons were so deadly that even to think about them risked instant annihilation."

THE SOLARIANS

Paperback Library Edition. First printing, July 1966.
Cover by Ed Valigursky (thanks, Mark).

"Earth was programmed for destruction in the mad war of the computer worlds - unless the Solarians could stop the machines! 

Three hundred years ago the solarians retreated to the safety of their Fortress as Earth became embroiled in the first of the computer wars with the dread Duglaari Empire. 

The solarians' final word to all humanity was a promise to reappear one day and bring it to victory. Suddenly, with Earth on the verge of becoming a helpless victim of the merciless Duglaars, the Solarians made contact with fleet commander Jay Palmer. It was an offer of aid. 

But the Solarians' plan was so cunning, so fraught with danger, that Jay faced the greatest decision of his life - and that of Earth's: 

Accept their ingenious strategy as a stroke of genius or reject it as a trick designed to destroy human life forever."
