Dr. Carew stared at her in puzzlement as she went on. "They threw every hard thing in the room at each other, without ever touching anything. It was like some ghastly, murderous game. A clock flew through the air like a cannonball, straight at Joseph's head, and some unseen force seemed to stop it. For a second it hung there and trembled in the air—with nothing under it; then it turned and flew like lightning at Quincy; he barely dodged it.

"Finally a vase did find its mark and Quincy fell to the floor. Joseph stepped over him and came toward me. I ran, slamming the door in his face, locking him in. He laughed evilly and called after me, 'Why waste time running away, Elizabeth? I'll come to get you, and you won't be able to resist me now!'"

Bound together in space, five men and a woman strained against the powerful tug of twisted emotions and secret ambitions.

It Spread A New Electrical Virus That Turned Men Into Ruthless Monsters THE SPACE EGG By Russ Winterbotham

Flying forty-two miles above Kansas, something phenomenal had happened to Test Pilot Fayburn. A space egg had smashed through the cockpit Plexi-glass and then pierced his pressurized suit.

Blood on the pilot's seat indicated that he had been injured, but there was no wound. The loss of pressure in the cockpit and in his suit should have killed him instantly—yet here he was, alive and unharmed, but definitely a changed man.

Always a mild, considerate person he had, in a matter of minutes, become a madman. What had brought about the change? Was he still human or was he now OUT OF THIS WORLD?

Only time would tell as he daringly laid siege to an important air base and began using his frightening power to force men and women to serve his evil purpose.

TEN FROM INFINITY

Ten men walked Earth—ten men in different cities in the United States. Each one was the exact replica of the other—from the tips of his fingers down to the beating of his twin hearts.

Where they came from, they were called androids—synthetic men, conditioned by their masters to complete their deadly purpose on Earth as advance agents for an invasion from space.

The only man who knew of their existence was Brent Taber, secret agent, specially commissioned to find out their plans and avert the world's destruction.

The big problem was to figure out a way to appeal to the mindless, soulless creatures who knew no emotion—pleasure or pain. But every move he had made so far had ended in failure and time was running out—for him and everyone on the face of the Earth ...
