THE FROZEN PLANET

Macfadden paperback, second printing, June 1970.
Cover painting: Jack Faragasso.

"The machine decided who would live and who would die. It provided food from mechanized plants. It enabled people to travel to distant planets, or to go backward and forward in time. The only thing in the universe it had not yet changed was man. Here is a world in which new problems and new dangers have replaced the familiar ones - but man continues his age-old battle to retain mastery over the machines he created."

The Frozen Planet by Keith Laumer
Growing Season by F. L. Wallace

THE 6 FINGERS OF TIME

Macfadden paperback, second printing, October 1969. Cover
painting: Jack Faragasso.

"ALL LIFE'S PROBLEMS HAD BEEN SOLVED. 
Man controlled time, overproduction, fantastically powerful weapons - even death. But universal happiness seemed farther away with each forward stride. 
These imaginative stories explore new dimensions of time and space, as man learns that even the most advanced technology cannot protect him against primitive nature, intergalactic enemies, and the weakness, greed and treachery of human beings."

Contents:

The Six Fingers Of Time by R. A. Lafferty
A Pride Of Islands by C. C. MacApp
Sitting Duck by Daniel F. Galouye
IOU by Edward Wellen
To Each His Own by Jack Sharkey
The Junkmakers by Albert Teichner

THE COSMIC EYE

Belmont paperback, September 1969. Cover painting by
Jack Faragasso (thanks: Mark).

"Morris should have functioned perfectly in the rigid totalitarian society of the future where every thought, every word, every action was controlled by the superstate. A state where everyone was watched night and day by the great eye of the internal security forces. It was a strange, in man was inhuman worlds, but the rewards were great for those who belonged to the right caste. Morris belonged to the master class which ruled the entire world by brain power or brutality, depending on which was needed. Morris was born right at the top - he had everything the technate society could provide - and yet he didn't belong. Nonconformity could mean liquidation, but he was prepared to take the risk."
