Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook and features every story, every editorial, and every column of the original pulp magazine.
During the science-fiction boom of the 1930s, there were over a dozen pulp magazines dedicated to the subject. Analog, Startling Stories, Amazing Stories, Wonder Stories, Captain Future and Super Science Stories were just a few. In 1939, the pulp magazine publisher of Jungle Stories, and many others, added its own entry into the sci-fi field, Planet Stories. Until it folded in 1955, it published ground-breaking science fiction from some of the genre's brightest stars, including such luminaries as Ray Cummings, Frederic Arnold Kummer, Jr., Eando Binder, Leight Bracket, Isaac Asimov, Clifford D. Simak, Henry Kuttner, Ray Bradbury, Frederik Pohl, James Blish, A.E. van Vogt, Theodore Sturgeon, Alan E. Nourse and Robert Sheckley. Planet Stories returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.

Two Exciting Novels
Z-Day On Centauri
by Henry T. Simmons
Erupting from hyper-space in the teeth of startled DIC patrols and readying all hands for a crash-landing, adventurer Fletcher Pell could still wonder which he dreaded more — the U-235 in the hold... or the strange girl by his side.
Pillar Of Fire
by Ray Bradbury
We cannot tell you what kind of a story this is. We simply cannot present it as we present other stories. We are very glad — and proud — to share it with you.
Two Novelettes Of Unknown Worlds
In The Sphere Of Time
by J.W. Pelkie
Proud Prince Toka had faced — and outwitted — death and disaster before. Yet in this weirdly glowing underworld of Kosanna, peopled by the soft, silvery-eyed ones, there waited a thing he could not defy — destruction of his soul!
Werwile Of The Crystal Crypt
by Gardner F. Fox
His black science threatened the whole cosmos. Against him frail Princess Nuala thrust her ancient knowledge — but he sneeringly smashed that. And space-toughened Clark Travis stood by helplessly. Of what use here was a pair of ready fists?
Five Gripping Stories
The Third Little Green Man
by Damon Knight
He was unnecessary. The first two had already convinced Shoemaker the only thing to do was to get the hell away from spaceships and onto a nice red wagon.
Murderer’s Base
by William Brittain
They played a ghastly game on that lonely asteroid. Killer and victim-to-be danced and feinted between space beacon and ship. Only the stars knew the winner.
Day Of Wrath
by Bjarne Kirchhoff
The men of the Norgan System had a tough decision to make concerning the planet in A-93. Yet there was no hesitation. Can you blame them?
Goma’s Follicles
by John and Dorothy de Courcy
New planets — new conditions... unforeseeable, difficult and dangerous. Still, who’d have thought a haircut on Procyon IV could be a matter of life and death?
Task Of Tau
by J. Harvey Haggard
Tau was metal, chemical, electrical. Yet Tau could face death like a man.
