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!

ACE DOUBLE: THE SEARCH FOR ZEI + THE HAND OF ZEI
 |
| Ace Double paperback, 1963. Cover by Ed Emshwiller ("Emsh"). |
"Twenty-five degrees north of the equator on the planet Krishna lies the Banjao sea, the largest body of water on this planet. And in this sea is found the Sunqar, home of legend and mystery.
"Here under the scorching rays of the hot high sun, the beaked galleys of Dur and the tubby round ships of Jazmurian slowly rot in the unbreakable grip of a vast floating continent of sea vine. Even the violent storms of the Krishnan sub-tropics no more than ruffle the surface of the immense floating swamp. Nothing, once caught in this web of weed, can escape..."
Barely had Dick Barnevelt written these words as part of a publicity campaign for his boss, than he learned that he would shortly find himself isolated in the middle of this terrible place on a barbaric planet without the aid of scientific equipment, surrounded by deadly dangers, with an unfulfilled mission and the dire necessity of making an escape he had just declared impossible."

GOLDEN BLOOD
 |
| Lancer paperback, 1964. Artwork by Ed Emshwiller ("Emsh"). |
"Au / 79 / 197.2
Chemical symbol...Atomic number...Atomic weight...
Scientific terms for gold...But science can't begin to explain the mystery and magic of gold.
It was gold that lured the "Secret Legion" - as oddly mixed a group of adventurers as any in song or story - into the world's most treacherous desert.
And gold they found - a golden man, an exotic golden woman, a huge golden tiger, and an eerie golden snake.
Gold brought them together ... Gold made them enemies in a battle to the death...Gold held the key to the mysterious forces that assailed them.
Jack Williamson, alchemist with words, spins a rare web of adventure, fantasy and science...a gem from the golden age of Weird Tales, now available in book form for the first time."
