Mission to a Distant Star: Science Fiction Triple Feature
Three Science Fiction stories for the price of one from Science Fiction and Fantasy Master, Frank Belknap Long.
“Mission to a Distant Star”— The Scorpions had conquered space on so vast a scale that they could see little difference between an Earth satellite and a high-flying kite released by a wide-eyed child. But that shining victory had a darker side.
“Time Trap”— Somebody waited for old Charley Grimes, plodding across that darkside Luna crater—somebody who couldn’t exist.
“The Miniature Menace”— I could have slugged Lt. James for giving the little guy a hard time. But I couldn’t know what he had up his sleeve.
