Hall Of Mirrors by Fredric Brown - It is a tough decision to make—whether to give up your life so you can live it over again! For an instant you think it is temporary blindness, this sudden dark that comes in the middle of a bright afternoon. It must be blindness, you think; could the sun that was tanning you have gone out instantaneously, leaving you in utter blackness? Then the nerves of your body tell you that you are standing, whereas only a second ago you were sitting comfortably, almost reclining, in a canvas chair. In the patio of a friend's house in Beverly Hills. Talking to Barbara, your fiancée. Looking at Barbara—Barbara in a swim suit—her skin golden tan in the brilliant sunshine, beautiful. You wore swimming trunks. Now you do not feel them on you; the slight pressure of the elastic waistband is no longer there against your waist. You touch your hands to your hips. You are naked. And standing. Whatever has happened to you is more than a change to sudden darkness or to sudden blindness. You raise your hands gropingly before you. They touch a plain smooth surface, a wall. You spread them apart and each hand reaches a corner. You pivot slowly. A second wall, then a third, then a door. You are in a closet about four feet square. Your hand finds the knob of the door. It turns and you push the door open. There is light now. The door has opened to a lighted room ... a room that you have never seen before.Mostra libro

Tom Denby expected a lonely death. When the drive tube of his small ship blows out millions of miles from help, the numbers leave him only one grim certainty: a drifting orbit that ends far from rescue. Then an asteroid appears in his path, and Denby decides to meet the collision head-on rather than wait years to starve. But the asteroid isn’t empty. A research station sits on its surface, and the first face Denby sees there belongs to Betty Day—the brilliant classmate who once convinced him he was wasting his talent playing it safe. Their reunion lasts only moments before armed raiders storm the station and seize control. The intruders aren’t ordinary bandits. They’re the remnants of a vanished war fleet, hiding beyond the asteroid belt and hunting for the power they need to escape. Denby quickly realizes the pirates’ ship is running on borrowed time. One wrong fuel choice will destroy their engine hours after departure—if he can persuade them to take it. The plan requires trading their only bargaining chip, sending Betty into the darkness of space alone, and convincing killers that his offer is genuine. If Denby’s calculations are wrong, the pirates will return and finish the job they started. If he’s right, the most dangerous men in space are already doomed—they just don’t know it yet. Clyde Beck wrote a small number of science-fiction stories during the early 1950s, publishing in magazines that fed the growing appetite for space exploration adventures in the postwar era. “Collision Orbit” appeared in Astounding Science Fiction, the influential magazine edited by John W. Campbell that launched and shaped much of modern science fiction. Beck’s story blends engineering realism with frontier-style space drama, placing a lone pilot, an isolated asteroid station, and a band of fugitives into a situation where quick thinking matters more than firepower.Mostra libro
