Armchair Fiction presents extra large paperback editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel, "Earth Quarter," written by Damon Knight, is an exciting look at the dark side of human nature. When it came down to it, death and hardship were no obstacle to the people of the Quarter. Obviously, patriotism has a price... The second novel, "Envoy to New Worlds," features six short stories featuring author Keith Laumer's famed sci-fi diplomat, Retief. Contained here are several accounts of Retief's contributions to the peace of the universe-written in the hope that the injustices committed by the history books will thus be rectified.
