The Galaxy Raiders/Space Station #1

by William P. McGivern, Frank Belknap Long

Armchair fiction presents the best in nostalgic science fiction double novels. The first novel, "The Galaxy Raiders," features an impending alien invasion from outside the solar system. A rogue space captain, a beautiful stowaway, and an edgy crew are sent to stop the approaching alien armada. They find themselves caught on a planet inhabited by an army of robots. "Space Station #1" features a mystery aboard a giant space station when the daughter of a powerful industrialist is kidnapped by persons unknown. Behind it all is a seedy cosmic plot. Lots of great space opera is featured in both of these exciting novels, penned by two of sci-fi's best, William P. McGivern and Frank Belknap Long.
