THE AMAZING MR. LUTTERWORTH

Digit paperback, 1958. Artwork by Ed Emshwiller ("Emsh"),
re-used artwork from Frank Belknap Long's Space Station 1.

"A man on the run - a man with no memory - a man with a secret. Time running out. Only a few days left for him to remember what he has to do to save the world. Who is Mr. Lutterworth? He doesn't know. What is his secret? He cannot remember. Yet a major oil company is ready to pay him a million, or kill him, for it. Foreign agents would stop at nothing for its possession..."

Big thanks to Horzel who identified the cover artist!

THE INTERPRETER

Digit Books paperback, 1961. Cover artist uncredited.

"Earthman Gary Towler is treated like a pariah; for his task as chief interpreter for the corrupt and tyrannical Nuls makes other humans avoid him as a traitor. Nor is he trusted by the three-armed mammoth rulers themselves. The leaders realize that Gary knows too much. When the Humans leading the underground rebellion demand Gary's aid or his life, he is caught between two untrustful forces. And his only way out is to make himself into a one-man third force against two worlds' plotters."
