Murray Leinster Books Overview

The Mutant Weapon

The only links between the far flung space colonies were the Medical Services spaceships. When these lonely travelers paid a call, they were always given a royal welcome. So why did the landing grid on Marix III try to destroy Med Serviceman Calhoun’s ship?

This World Is Taboo

‘The little Med Ship came out of overdrive and the stars were strange and the Milky Way seemed unfamiliar. Which, of course, was because the Milky Way and the local Cepheid marker stars were seen from an unaccustomed angle and a not yet commonplace pattern of varying magnitudes. But Calhoun grunted in satisfaction…
‘ Written by Murray Leinster a pseudonym of William Fitzgerald Jenkins’s This World Is Taboo was first published as ‘Pariah Planet’ in Amazing Stories, July 1961, and is the second volume in the Med Services series. Leinster wrote more than 1500 stories and articles during his career and is credited with first using the concept of parallel universes in his fiction.

The Last Spaceship

Kim Rendall will not yield to the tyranny of the power madrulers of Alphin III. Branded an outlaw, he is in danger of psychological torture worse than death from the Disiplinary Circuit, which keeps the mas*ses in check.

His one hope lies in the Starshine, an outmoded spaceship. In a world where teleportation is the norm, no one travels by interstellar vessel anymore. Rendall plans to use the Starshine to save his girlfriend and himself and possibly his entire planet!

Space Platform

Reach for the Stars: We now accept space travel as a reality, but what of a city in space, built on an ever suspended platform? When young Joe Kenmore came to the little desert town of Bootstrap to install pilot gyros in the top secret Space Platform project he hadn’t bargained on sabotage or murder or love. But Joe soon learned that ruthless agents were determined to wreck the project.

Space Tug

30 Minutes to Live! Joe Kenmore heard the airlock close with a sickening wheeze and then a clank. In desperation he turned toward Haney. ‘My God, we’ve been locked out!’ Through the transparent domes of their space helmets, Joe could see a look of horror and disbelief pass across Haney’s face. But it was true! Joe and his crew were locked out of the Space Platform. Four thousand miles below circled the Earth. Under Joe’s feet rested the solid steel hull of his home in outer space. But without tools there was no hope of getting back inside. Joe looked at his oxygen meter. It registered thirty minutes to live. Space Tug by Murray Leinster is an independent sequel to the author’s popular Space Platform.

Operation: Outer Space

FASTER THAN LIGHT!

‘But what can be done with it?’ asked Cochrane practically.

‘Nothing,’ said Jones succinctly. ‘It changes the properties of space, but that’s all. Can you think of any use for a faster-than-light radiation-pipe? I can’t.’

Cochrane cocked an eye at Jamison, who could extrapolate at the drop of an equation. But Jamison shook his head.

‘Communication between planets,’ he said morosely, ‘when we get to them. Chats between sweethearts on Earth and Pluto. Broadcasts to the stars when we find that another one’s set up a similar plate and is ready to chat with us. There’s nothing else.’

The Black Galaxy

Murray Leinster 1896 1975 was the nom de plume of William Fitzgerald Jenkins, an American science fiction and alternate history writer. Leinster wrote and published over 1,500 short stories and articles, 14 movie, and hundreds of radio scripts and television plays over the course of his career.

Colonial Survey / The Planet Explorer

YOU ARE THERE! Centuries, eons from now the peculiar, fantastic, astounding MIND OF MAN will conquer strange, new worlds, presently beyond the reaches of imagination and probe the meaning of the central core of infinity with instruments of incredible scientific precision! YOUR ARE THERE! In the far off era when man will defy gravity, space, time to explore the UNIVERSE and make immensity his own! Murray Leinster is widely acknowledged by fans as the ‘Dean of Science Fiction’ and even as ‘Mr. Science Fiction.’ LIFE has reported that he reads more technical literature than most research scientists. He is also a successful inventor in his own right.

The Pirates of Zan / The Pirates of Ersatz

An impulsive action, on his part? Hardly. Bron Hoddan went to the ship that landed on his native planet of Zan, the ship whose heartless crew was intent on lining up all his relatives for execution…
and he stowed away. Bron had planned it all long before, hoping to escape to the planet Walden, a place of wealth and peace where he might have a chance to prove himself as an electrical engineer, then find the beautiful wife of his dreams…
And compared with Zan, home of space pirates, Walden turns out to be a fine place indeed, where he quickly establishes himself with his brilliant work…
Until suddenly the police broke down his door! Will Jenkins 1896 1975, writing as Murray Leinster, was called the Dean of Science Fiction, and was author of such popular novels as Timeslip! He won the Hugo award for 1956 novelette ‘Exploration Team.’

The Wailing Asteroid

THE PUBLIC ABRUPTLY ceased to be interested in news of the signals. Rather, it suddenly wanted to stop thinking about them. The public was scared. Throughout all human history, the most horrifying of all ideas has been the idea of something which was as intelligent as a man, but wasn’t human.

Operation Terror

Lockley was on a routine surveying mission near Boulder Lake, Colorado when a mysterious object from space appears to land in the lake. When radio contact with the rest of the survey party is interrupted, most men would have tried to escape, but Lockley’s first thought was of Jill Holmes and rescuing her. Facing a terrifying incapacitating weapon of the aliens and a government quarantine surrounding the landing site he hopes to escape from…

Talents, Incorporated

Charlatans or Prophets? At best, the tiny Kandarian Air Fleet would fight until its last ship was blown into infinity. At worst, it would be annihilated without a chance. To young Captain Bors, either course was unthinkable. The ruthless Dictator of Mekin had already subjugated twenty two helpless planets. Now he wanted Kandar’s unconditional surrender, or his vastly superior forces would blast it out of existence. It took a lot of guts, and the hope that is frequently born of despair, for a military man like Bors to throw in his lot with Talents, Incorporated, an untried, unscientific organization. Through peculiar gifts of extra sensory perception, its personnel could, their leader insisted, out think and out guess even the most deadly dictator in the history of mankind. Could it? It just might. And it just might not…
. But there was absolutely nothing to lose, and a free world and a beautiful girl to win. Captain Bors made his decision, and the loaded die was cast! Aficionados of science fiction recognize and respect Murray Leinster as a writer of rare talent. His ingenuity of plot, his technical know how and flight of imagination in Talents, Incorporated will go far to increase his stature and popularity as an exciting and thought provoking storyteller.

The Duplicators

Murray Leinster 1896 1975 was the nom de plume of William Fitzgerald Jenkins, an American science fiction and alternate history writer. Throughout much of his career, Leinster strove to tell entertaining stories. He certainly does here: ‘The Duplicators,’ is good, light fun.

Sand Doom

Murray Leinster was the pen name of American SF writer William Fitzgerald Jenkins. Jenkins served in the US Army and the Committee of Public Information in World War I and the Office of War Information during World War II. Publishing his first story in 1916, he went on to publish fifteen hundred short stories and articles, as well as writing fourteen movie and hundreds of radio and television scripts. His work inspired the TV series Land of the Giants and Time Tunnel, and he won the Hugo, Retro Hugo, and Liberty Awards. ‘Sand Doom,’ published in Astounding Science Fiction in 1946, is part of Leinster’s ‘Colonial Survey’ series. Bordman, a Colonial Survey officer, en route to the new world of Nosa II to certify it as open for visitation, and Aletha Redfeather, a representative of the Amerind Historical Society, find themselves stuck on the planet with a circular problem. They need repair parts but without them, they can’t bring in the ship that carries the repair parts.

The Runaway Skyscraper

Murray Leinster 1896 1975 was the pseudonym of William Fitzgerald Jenkins, an award winning American writer of science fiction and alternate history. He wrote and published over 1,500 short stories and articles, 14 movies and hundreds of radio scripts and television plays. Leinster began his career as a free lance writer before World War I; he was two months short of his 20th birthday when his first story, The Foreigner, appeared in the May 1916 issue of H. L. Mencken’s literary magazine The Smart Set. Over the next three years, Leinster published ten more stories in the magazine. His first science fiction story, The Runaway Skyscraper, appeared in the 1919 issue of Argosy. In the 1930s, he published several science fiction stories and serials in Amazing and Astounding Stories and continued to appear frequently in other genre pulps. Leinster is credited with the invention of parallel universe stories. Sidewise in Time was published in the June 1934 issue of Astounding. This was probably the first time that the concept of alternate worlds appeared in modern science fiction.

Long Ago, Far Away

The Moon’s wounds have never healed…
not since that great event in the distant past when the mystery planet between Mars and Jupiter blew apart in a massive explosion, sending fragments to devastate the surfaces of Earth and Moon.

The mystery of that missing planet has long intrigued Soames, who spends his hours charting celestial bodies in search of answers. Now a new mystery presents itself: for in detecting a meteor and trying to track it, he has come up empty handed. He is obtaining no data at all.

Abruptly his twin radar screens flash white, while Inter Base Radio lets out a screaming, shrieking uproar no radio had ever emitted before. And unknown to Soames, at this instant the same horrifying sounds are emerging from every radio and television set around the world!

Pioneering author Will Jenkins 1896 1975, writing as Murray Leinster, was long regarded as the Dean of Science Fiction.
