Homer Eon Flint was one of the pioneers of science fiction – publishing science fiction stories in pulp magazines before the term «science fiction» had even been coined. Unfortunately, he died violently – and mysteriously – at age 36, leaving behind a grieving widow and three young children. Prior to his shocking end in 1924, Homer's speculative fiction made him a leading contributor to the era's top pulp magazines. Hundreds of thousands of readers thrilled to his tales of life beyond Earth as well as his mysteries, humor, and even horror. Many of the short stories in this volume, plus the short novel «The Planeteer,» were unpublished during Homer Eon Flint's lifetime.

Three scientists proposed to construct a synthetic man, endowed with some five times the intelligence of the ordinary human being. This creature matures quickly, and eventually there steps into being a synthetic man – «The Intelligence Gigantic.» His intellectuality and his occult powers are impressive, but are backed by no humanity, no thought of the happiness of mankind. He has the desire and the power to control the whole world of humanity and to operate the life of the world on principles of arid mech­anism and absolute slavery…<P> Presenting John Russell Fearn's classic debut novel, together with an early novelette «Climatica,» both of which introduced new concepts to science fiction, including superhuman intelligence and weather control!<P> John Russell Fearn (1908-1960) is noted for such grandly extravagant science fiction as «The Intelligence Gigantic,» «The Liners of Time,» «Mathematica,» and the Golden Amazon series.

The Golden Age of Science Fiction MEGAPACK™ series focuses on unjustly forgotten science fiction writers. Horace B. Fyfe (1918-1997) was one. An engineer by trade, Fyfe also wrote a long string of popular science fiction and fantasy stories. He published extensively in genre magazines from his first appearance in «Astounding Science Fiction» (February 1940) until his last publication in «Analog» (January 1967). Sadly, Alzheimer's cut short his career, but his family stepped in to save his writing files, including more than 90 unpublished stories and an unpublished historical novel. Most of his unpublished works are in other genres, such as suspense or mainstream, but a few are lost gems, and we are delighted to present two previously unpublished tales here. Included in this volume:<P> OPEN INVITATION<BR> PROTECTED SPECIES<BR> RANSOM<BR> WELCOME, STRANGERS!<BR> SPACE-CONDITIONED<BR> THE CLUTCHES OF RUIN<BR> THE NIGHT OF NO MOON<BR> STAR-LINKED<BR> ROMANCE<BR> ROUTINE REPORT<BR> THE FURIES OF ZHAHNOOR<BR> SINECURE<BR> THINKING MACHINE<BR> ROUND-AND-ROUND TRIP<BR> SPECIAL JOBBERY<BR> TIME LIMIT<BR> SPY SCARE<P> If you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for «Wildside Press Megapack» to see more of the 250+ volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction – and much, much more!
