The story primarily focuses on the crew of the starship Dawn, which is dispatched to explore an unexplored star system, known as "Two-Five". The system contains several habitable planets, but there's an underlying mystery surrounding it - something about the system seems to be. off. The crew quickly learns that their mission is not just about scientific discovery, but about survival and uncovering secrets that were never meant to be discovered. The novel delves into themes of isolation, trust, and the unknown, with the crew members encountering strange phenomena, both natural and unnatural, as they explore the planets. Tensions build among the crew as they deal with the psychological strain of their mission, as well as the strange, otherworldly forces at work in the system. One of the core elements of 'Interstellar Two-Five' is the exploration of human nature when pushed to the limits of endurance and understanding. The further the crew goes into the unknown, the more they realize how little they truly know about the universe and their own place within it. This evolving understanding, mixed with a sense of existential dread, creates a tense and thought-provoking atmosphere throughout the novel:- (original cost unmarked).

UK SFBC #117:- Synopsis: What went on at the 'Defence Research Station' on the remote Scottish island of Ronan no one knew, but there were persistent rumours of a new and horrific weapon, of hallucinations and madness among the personnel. For different reasons a left wing journalist and a rather weird woman on psychic subjects independently decide to investigate. They meet in the island inn, owned by the whiskey soaked, pibroch playing Flora MacCrimmon, and at first have more luck than they had dared for. But then, along with the local ferryman whose help has been enlisted, they are forcibly drawn into the heart of the mystery, coping as best they may with ruthless security men and a megalomaniac station director, not to mention the fourth dimension and an Angel who plays the bagpipes. But where does reality end and hallucination begin? That is not the least of their problems in the fast moving series of adventures that befall them until at last they emerge into unmistakable reality. And before you say this is a fantastic and incredible story, please remember that our peculiar civilization has already invented the hallucination producing weapon:- (original cost unmarked).

Slight wear to spine, covers, corners & dustjacket.; GPT"The Great Explosion" is a science fiction novel by Eric Frank Russell, blending humor and satire to explore themes of freedom, government, and human nature. The story unfolds four centuries after Earth has sent out colony ships to distant planets, many of which have developed societies with unique governance systems or lack thereof. The narrative centers around a bureaucratic and militaristic Earth government's attempt to reassert control over these far-flung colonies. A ship, the Bureaucrat, embarks on a mission to bring these independent worlds back under Earth's authority. However, the crew encounters a variety of societies that challenge their preconceptions about governance and human organization. The most memorable of these is the planet of anarchists, who live in a state of organized chaos that surprisingly functions quite well. Through these encounters, Russell critiques authoritarianism and advocates for individual freedom and self-reliance. The novel is celebrated for its witty examination of societal structures and the innate human drive for autonomy.; 19 x 13 x 1.7 cms; 203 pages.…
