| Title: A Matter of Matter |
| Series: Golden Age Stories |
| By (author): L. Ron Hubbard |
| ISBN10-13: 1592122396 : 9781592122394 |
| When it comes to big dreams and schemes, young Chuck Lambert would give Walter Mitty a run for his money. In fact, Chuckâ s biggest dream of all is really out of this world. Because heâ s got his eyes on a prize in the sky. Chuck wants to buy a planet of his own.â ¦ Madman Murphy, the King of Planetary Realtors, is more than happy to oblige. Heâ s got a whole galaxy of planets for sale. All Chuck needs is money â ¦ and a lot of it. Eleven years later, saving every penny he can scrape up, Chuckâ s dream comes true. He takes possession and takes off for Planet 19453X.â ¦ One problem: Madman Murphy has sold Chuck a world of trouble. Because on Planet 19453X the water is undrinkable, the air is unbreathable, and the laws of physics donâ t apply. Has Chuckâ s dream turned into a nightmare? Not quite. As heâ s about to discover, sometimes, to fulfill your true desire, itâ s simply a matter of digging a little deeper.â ¦ By the time A Matter of Matter appeared in 1949, L. Ron Hubbardâ s stature as a writer was well established. As author and critic Robert Silverberg puts it: he had become a â master of the art of narrative.â Hubbardâ s editors urged him to apply his gift for succinct characterization, original plot, deft pacing and imaginative action to the genre of science fiction and fantasy. The rest is Sci-Fi history. Also includes the science fiction adventures, â The Conroy Diary,â in which the man who opens up the universe to mankind also opens himself to charges of fraud and tax evasion; The â Obsolete Weaponâ , the story of an American GI involved in the 1943 invasion of Italy who slips back in time and finds himself fighting a different kind of battleâ as a gladiator in ancient Rome; and â The Planet Makersâ , in which a great deal is at stake for the engineers who make planets habitable, but one of them has a surprising plan all his own. â â ¦ this is a real corker, pulp fiction at its most entertaining.â â Booklist* An International Book Awards Finalist |

| By (author): L. Ron Hubbard |
| ISBN10-13: 1592123384 : 9781592123384 |
| A charming rogue cut from the same cloth as Robert Mitchum, American engineer Dan Courtney is learning fast that it takes more than a little charm to lay the groundwork for a railroad. Particularly when the plan is to build it across some of the roughest and most dangerous territory on earth.Courtneyâ s been hired to survey the land that would link up the Uganda Railway to the Anglo-Egyptian railroad. Running through desert, jungle and mountains, this is one lineâ and storyâ with more twists and turns than the New York City subway system.Diamond smugglers. A fearsome native tribe. A beautiful young American woman . . . and a man determined to kill her. Put them all together and youâ ve got a world where All Frontiers Are Jealous. Itâ s up to Courtney to tame those frontiersâ take on the tribe, save the woman, and save the future of the railroad . . . before his blood ends up on the tracks.L. Ron Hubbard based this story on the real-life history of the countless harrowing attempts in the late 19th and early 20th century to link up the two railroads. An experienced civil engineer and surveyor himself, Hubbard had worked in rough and dangerous terrain as part of the West Indies Mineralogical Expedition. All Frontiers Are Jealous may be a work of fiction, but as far as Hubbard was concerned, in his own life, the adventure couldnâ t have been more real.â Terrific from beginning to end.â â Midwest Book Review |

| Title: Beyond all Weapons |
| Series: Golden Age Stories |
| By (author): L. Ron Hubbard |
| ISBN10-13: 1592122469 : 9781592122462 |
| Han Solo of Star Wars could learn a thing or two from Firsten Guide, the tough, wise-cracking rebel leader whoâ s light years ahead of his timeâ and about to lead his crew into a battle thatâ s Beyond All Weapons. Because the force is most assuredly with Firsten.He and his fellow colonizers of Mars have faced a brutal crackdown engineered by Earthâ s tyrannical government. But the resourceful Firsten has developed an extraordinary new fuel that enables him and his hardy band to escape into spaceâ and time.Escape, however, is not enough. Firsten wants revenge. But the universe is full of unexpected twists and turns. Just as Prometheus flew too close to the sun, Firsten will soon discover that when you break the laws of physics, you can get burned.Hubbard was a pioneer in his use and development of Einsteinâ s theories of space and time as a plot point in his fiction. In Beyond All Weapons, he explains: â As mass approaches the speed of light â ¦ it approaches infinity. And, as mass approaches infinity, time approaches zero. It was only nine days back from Alpha. But in those nine days, six thousand years have passed by Earth.â It stands as one of the earliestâ and most succinctâ descriptions of the theory.Also includes the science fiction adventures Strain, the story of a space warâ s brutality and one manâ s struggle to keep a secret under the pain of torture, and The Invaders, in which the distant crystal mines are under attack until a technician crystallizes a unique strategy to undermine the attackers.â A thrilling space adventure â ¦ the terror and excitement builds through to the end.â â Publishers Weekly |

| Title: Black Towers to Danger |
| Series: Golden Age Stories |
| By (author): L. Ron Hubbard |
| ISBN10-13: 1592122353 : 9781592122356 |
| Drilling for oil is a dirty business, and for Bill Murphy, itâ s about to turn positively filthy. But Murphyâ s as big and tough as his home state of Texasâ a man in the mold of a young John Wayneâ and heâ s more than a match for everything the oil-rich land of Venezuela can throw at him. Everything, that is, except for one woman.â ¦Her name is Marcia Stewart. Sheâ s fiery, sheâ s brave, and sheâ s beautiful â ¦ and sheâ d like nothing better than to see Bill Murphy dead. Her oilman fatherâ s been killed, and Marcia tags Murphy as the murderer.Murphyâ s guilty of a lot of things, but murderâ s not one of them. Heâ s drilling down for the truth, and now itâ s his land, his love for Marciaâ and his lifeâ that are on the line. With so much at stake, heâ ll go to any length to come out on top of the Black Towers to Danger.When Black Towers to Danger was first published in 1936, the editor wrote: â L. Ron Hubbard, as you know, is a pilot, a writer, and an engineer. The one thing he doesnâ t work at is engineering. He was in China at 15 and has covered a lot of territory since then. If heâ s on a flying fieldâ or anywhere elseâ you canâ t miss himâ heâ s a tall, slender chap with very fair skin and bright red hair. Something picturesque about him as there should be about a flyer.â And not only was he a man with a commanding presence, so too did he have command over his material, researching the entire oil drilling process for this story.â Roars to life.â â Publishers Weekly |

| Title: Branded Outlaw |
| Series: Golden Age Stories |
| By (author): L. Ron Hubbard |
| ISBN10-13: 159212349X : 9781592123490 |
| Take the law into your own hands, and you risk losing your grip on everything elseâ including your life. Lee Westonâ a young Paul Newman with a Colt revolver at his hipâ is as good-looking as he is quick-tempered, and heâ s got a lot to be angry about.His father murdered, his family ranch torched, he goes gunning for Harvey Dodgeâ the man who heâ s convinced is the killerâ and itâ s Lee who ends up on the wrong side of the law. Shot in a gunfight, on the run and running out of time, he holes up in a mountain hideout and waits for death to come find him.But he wakes up in the arms of a beautiful woman who has beat death to his door and nursed him back to life. Sheâ s the first and only woman he has ever fallen for, and her name is Ellen Dodgeâ Harveyâ s daughter. Can a great loss lead to a great love? Can the search for revenge lead to redemption? The answers lie in the wild heart of the Wild Westâ in Branded Outlaw.L. Ron Hubbard was so prolific, and his stories so much in demand, he occasionally had to publish under a pseudonym to ensure that his name wouldnâ t appear twice in a single issue of a magazine. Thus did Branded Outlaw originally appear as being written by a writer named Barry Randolph. But as is clear from the action and authenticity of the story, it was Hubbard behind the curtain pulling the levers. This is one of sixteen westerns Hubbard wrote in 1938â all influenced by a foray into New Mexico to round out his research. His unsurpassed knowledge of the West originated in his years growing upâ and riding onâ the range. â Packs a ton of action and some priceless shootout scenes.â â EZReader.com |

| Title: Brass Keys to Murder |
| Series: Golden Age Stories |
| By (author): L. Ron Hubbard |
| ISBN10-13: 1592122817 : 9781592122813 |
| U.S. Navy Lieutenant Steve Craig is in one hell of a mess. Being accused of murder is bad enough, but the local police are convinced heâ s killed his own father. Alfred Hitchcock couldnâ t have conceived a more diabolical plot for Cary Grant â ¦ and now, for Steve Craig, the plot is about to get down and dirty.Steveâ s safe from the cops as long as he stays aboard his Navy shipâ but the word safe isnâ t in his vocabulary. He slips off the vessel and vanishes into the seamy underside of the city, determined to find out who took his fatherâ s life â ¦ even if it means risking his own.He follows a trail of smoke and mirrors and sudden violence to the Brass Keys to Murder. With them, Steve will seek to unlock the terrible truth behind his fatherâ s death â ¦ and an astonishing secret that will change his lifeâ and that of the woman he loves forever.Ron knew well the life at sea and the world surrounding it. Not only was he the son of a naval officer, he traveled back and forth across the Pacific, plied the China coast in a working schooner and commanded an expedition aboard a four-masted ship to the Caribbean. He walked the waterfronts of countless ports, sharing stories with the colorfulâ and often shadyâ characters inhabiting them. Originally published in April 1935 under the pen name Michael Keith, Brass Keys to Murder is a direct result of those adventures. |

| Title: Cargo of Coffins |
| Series: Golden Age Stories |
| By (author): L. Ron Hubbard |
| ISBN10-13: 1592121705 : 9781592121700 |
| If Lars Marlin had three wishes, two have already been granted: he has escaped from Devilâ s Island â ¦ and he has come face to face with the man who put him thereâ Paco Corvino. But the third wishâ putting a bullet in Corvinoâ will have to wait. Theyâ re off to sea, and not since Fletcher Christian and Captain Bligh set sail on the Bounty have two more heated enemies been in the same boat.Corvino is a convict, con-man and killer who has schemed his way into a position as chief steward on a luxury yacht sailing out of Rio de Janeiro. And, in a twist as devious as it is diabolical, heâ s managed to install Larsâ his hated rivalâ as captain of the very same vessel. And there are even darker twists to come.â ¦Lars is determined to find out what Corvino has up his sleeve â ¦ and what killer cargo heâ s hiding on board. But the yacht ownerâ s daughter proves to be a beautifulâ and dangerousâ distraction. Will Lars be safe in her arms â ¦ or is she part of Corvinoâ s plotâ a deadly trap set with honey?Like several leading writers of the day, L. Ron Hubbard was invited to Hollywood to write scripts, where his superior talent and productivity attracted numerous lucrative offers from the studios. But, as he wrote in a letter to the editor of Argosy magazine in August 1937: â I love to tie a yarn and try to make it blaze in print. The mags will never lose me to the movies. Never, at any salary!â And as Argosy gleefully responded in its pages: â Next to exorcise the Hollywood virus from his veins was L. Ron Hubbard â ¦ he has set to work to give Argosy some more of his rousing yarns. The first, â Cargo of Coffins,â is due to appear in the November 13th issue, and a serial is likely to follow.â |
