From the dawn of the Space Age comes an unexpected visitor … and a new challenge for CAPTAIN FUTURE and the Futuremen as they confront the enigma of the LOST APOLLO! The spacecraft that has emerged from a cosmic rift between Earth and the Moon looks like something from a museum, yet history has no record of either an Apollo 20 lunar mission or the three NASA astronauts who are aboard the archaic vessel. Have they travelled here from a parallel universe? And if so, then how and why? Curt Newton and his heroic team intercepts the 20 th century space vessel and offers sanctuary to its baffled crew. Together with an old foe, they seek to return the stranded astronauts to their own timeline. And it's there that they encounter a menace that threatens not only the two universes but many others as well, as Captain Future searches for a way to bring home the LOST APOLLO. Classic space adventures featuring the greatest space hero of science fiction's Golden Age continue with a NEW storyline that begins here! PLUS: a long-lost interview with Space Opera masters EDMOND HAMILTON and LEIGH BRACKETT! "The right way to revamp classic pulp characters." — The Pulp Super-Fan

Journey far beyond the solar system to a planet of danger with CAPTAIN FUTURE as he confronts the greatest menace humankind has ever faced … 1,500 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME! No ship from Earth has ever ventured past the outer worlds of the system. But that wasn’t until Ul Quorn, the criminal overlord called the Magician of Mars, stole an experimental warp drive and used it to hurl a hijacked spaceliner and his cut-throat gang across the galaxy to an inhabited planet orbiting Deneb, one of the largest and brightest stars in the known universe. For what purpose? No one knows … until now. Curt Newton, the adventurer known as Captain Future, is about to find out, for he has inadvertently joined Ul Quorn’s quest to Deneb. Yet neither man is prepared for the horrors they’ll find there or the alien doomsday machine lurking nearby. The battle of wits between the two adversaries is only getting started, and the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance! “Allen Steele has updated and supercharged the original incarnation of Curt Newton, reimagining him for 21st century readers. It’s a pleasure to see him back and in capable hands.” — Will Murray, author of Tarzan, Conqueror of Mars.

Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight Two months since the stars fell... Two months of silence, while a world held its breath. Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met? You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there. Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
