Product: Tunnel Through Time
Description: Go backward through space-time into prehistory? It seemed fantastic, but the machine -- invented by Bob's father in connection with his research on the interrelation of time and gravity -- actually existed. Bob and his friend Pete are anxious to be the first to visit the era of the dinosaurs. Overruled, they watch Pete's father, a famous paleontologist, step into the shimmering ring -- and disappear into the past. But when he does not return on schedule because the machine jams, Bob and Pete follow on a daring rescue mission...

A thrilling time-travel adventure as only master storyteller Lester del Rey could tell it!

Product: Day of the Giants
Description: Leif Svensen's neighbor, come to warn him that the farmers were going to take violent action against his dog for killing their livestock, mentioned that he'd seen an angel the night before. "Big blonde woman on a white horse, singing loud enough to raise the dead, about a hundred feet up in the air."

Then, on his way to find his madcap twin, Leif met a stranger who knew his name and who spoke of "the Fimbulwinter already upon us." Fimbulwinter! The dreadful winter that in Norse mythology preceded Ragnarok -- the final war between the gods and the giants! Fimbulwinter -- which presaged the Day of the Giants!

Leif Svensen and his brother were caught up in the destinies of a real but alien world. For if the giants triumphed, they would overrun Earth; and if the Aesir -- the gods -- won, Earth would be their footstool!

Product: Step to the Stars (Winston Science Fiction Book 23)
Description: “Only a decade away!" Yes, according to the well-known author of STEP TO THE STARS, this remarkable age that has produced rocket ships, guided missiles and hydrogen bombs will have a space station circling the Earth within the next ten years. World domination will be in the hands of the country that constructs it, and man will know, once and for all, whether he is free or slave.
Such thoughts were far from Jim Stanley's mind when he was investigated by the FBI and later subjected to strange and rigorous tests. It wasn't until he satisfied the stiff requirements that he learned the United States was in the space station race for keeps and that he could count himself among the handful of men destined to breach the barriers of space in operation "Big Shush."
Fascinating details of the construction and operation of the station are part and parcel of this tense and dramatic story. Treacherous sabotage by a dangerous foreign spy; Jim's almost fatal fall into the "empty, hungry depths of space"; and a savage fire which threatened the existence of the station add to the rising tide of excitement. Tying these explosive events together is a narrative that skillfully portrays the reaction of men to new and staggering experiences.
Unequaled in its impact, STEP TO THE STARS is an adventure too probable to ignore. Whether you read it as a tale of the future or a forceful case for world co-operation, you can't help but feel that here indeed is the "prelude to space."

Product: Battle on Mercury (Winston Science Fiction Book 12)
Description: When sun storms periodically swept Mercury with waves of solar fire, radiation and electricity, it was usual for the authorities to order evacuation of the small mining communities on the side of the planet that faced the Sun. But as time for the most violent solar eruption known to earthlings approached, no rescue rocket ship appeared outside the Sigma dome that housed Dick Rogers and his family.
Around one of the universe's most awesome events — sun spots — Lester del Rey has written a tale of rugged courage and heroism in the face of impending doom. Young Dick Rogers wasn't too well liked by the townspeople. He insisted on keeping an erratic "wispy" — the strange form of Mercury life that took the shape of an electrically charged ball of flame — as a friend. And though Dick's favorite "wispy," Johnny Quicksilver, could usually be trusted, the mining engineers were never sure whether it was he who periodically blew out fuses and upset delicate electrical circuits.
Against this background, the story of Dick Rogers' odyssey through Mercury's bleak and blazing landscape takes on desperate urgency. How he, an ancient robot and the Mercury veteran "Hotside Charlie" withstand Mercury's 800 degree temperatures, escape rivers of molten lead, and fight the planet's horrifying silicone beasts, is in the best science fiction tradition.
