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, Leigh 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 Novels of Distant Worlds
Out Of The Iron Womb!
by Poul Anderson
Behind a pale Venusian mask lay hidden the arch-humanist, the anti-tech killer... one of those who needlessly had strewn Malone blood across the heavens from Saturn to the sun. Now — on the naked rock of the Trojan asteroids — the rendezvous for death was plainly marked.

Once A Starman

The snares of space were incalculable, Lou Argonne learned. Lightning speeds, immense distances, stygian blackness, rushing stars, flaming meteors... all piled up inexorably to impale a frail Earthman on the spears of vivid imagination.
Image Of Splendor
by Lu Kella
Cold? Frigid? Why those ruling Earthwomen could put frost on a hydrogen burner, mused the frustrated O’Rielly as he gaily plotted to smash once and for all time the ingenious Venus dameblock.
The Brides Of Ool
by M.A. Cummings
Ool was the saddest lover this side of lo... either that, or the most skillful killer since the invention of Gilk’s death-ray.
Dust Unto Dust
by Lyman D. Hinckley
It was alien, but was it dead, this sinister metal city that glittered so malignantly before the advance of the three awed space-scouters?
Alien Equivalent
by Richard R. Smith
The Martians were a weak, sensitive, dying race, frail and impotent before the superiority of the master Earthmen. Only in that grand and devilishly clever game of Duchal might sons of the red planet emerge from their shells.
