Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook and features every story, every editorial, and every column of the original pulp magazine.
During the science-fiction boom of the 1930s, there were over a dozen pulp magazines dedicated to the subject. Analog, Startling Stories, Amazing Stories, Wonder Stories, Captain Future and Super Science Stories were just a few. In 1939, the pulp magazine publisher of Jungle Stories, and many others, added its own entry into the sci-fi field, Planet Stories. Until it folded in 1955, it published ground-breaking science fiction from some of the genre's brightest stars, including such luminaries as Ray Cummings, Frederic Arnold Kummer, Jr., Eando Binder, Leight Bracket, Isaac Asimov, Clifford D. Simak, Henry Kuttner, Ray Bradbury, Frederik Pohl, James Blish, A.E. van Vogt, Theodore Sturgeon, Alan E. Nourse and Robert Sheckley. Planet Stories returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.

Mars Is Heaven!

You won’t believe this story, which is a strange thing to say. Captain John Black and his crew didn’t believe it either, but they saw it through. And so will you.
Preview Of Peril
by A. Bertram Chandler
Nobody knew into what awful dimension the Mannschen Drive would hurl that first test-ship — nobody but Martin Wayne. And he found out too late — or was it too soon?
Brooklyn Project
by William Tenn
The last and greatest Project, this — and the safest to watch. Just two steel balls, going off into time. Why was Press Correspondent Culpepper so nervous?
Synthetic Hero
