GET READY FOR A GIANT, MIND-EXPANDING DOSE OF THE BEST SCIENCE FICTION EVER WRITTEN BY THE GREATEST SCIENCE FICTION WRITERS OF ALL TIME! When readers first encounter science fiction, they find adventures on other planets and in future worlds, explorations of future technology and its implications, and extrapolations of social trends and warnings of where they may lead—but they also encounter concepts heretofore undreamed of, and the impact on the readers' thinking does nothing less than turn their world upside down. Now, David Drake, Jim Baen and Eric Flint gather together some of the greatest science fiction ever written in one volume, with each story chosen for a startling breakthrough concept which left readers stunned and changed the course of science fiction. In the Golden Age of science fiction, the science fiction magazines weren't given titles such as Astounding, Amazing, Startling, etc., for nothing! Pick up this generous serving of the very best of science fiction and prepared to be astounded, amazed, startled—and entertained. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (DRM Rights Management).

Cover for Out of this World Adventures, July 1950

Developed in the 1890s and lasting into the 1950s, the "pulp" magazine (called pulp due to the kind of paper used) format was a low-cost means of delivering fiction short stories to the masses. In many ways, the pulp magazine was a predecessor to the comic book of today and several famous comic book heroes got their start in pulp magazines. Out of this World Adventures was published by Avon books, an imprint of Harper Collins. It contained a mix of several stories with about 30 pages of full-color comics. The pulp only had 2 issues, with releases in July and December of 1950. This July issue contains the following stories: The Planet-Smashers by Ray Cummings Letter from the Stars by A. E. Van Vogt Omega and the Wolf Girl by Lester del Rey The Puzzle of Priipiirii by William Tenn The Shipwrecked Boogeyman by Lloyd Williams Terror of the Mist Maidens by A. Bertram Chandler The Discord Makers by Mack Reynolds Forbidden Fruit by Kris Neville Lunar Station by John Michel, (illustrated by J. Kubert in full color) The Man-eating Lizards by Edward Bellin, (illustrated by J. Kubert in full color) Pallas Rebellion by W.
