    Invader From Infinity by George Whittington - "Destroy the Invader," the orders read—and Captain McPartland's expendable spacer flashed into suicidal battle. 
    Commander Jon McPartland stared with hard blue eyes into his view screen. He watched a tiny dot in one corner grow slowly, and heard the unnecessary words of his Lieutenant-Commander, Clemens: 
    "Observation Officer reports enemy craft sighted, Sir." 
    "Very good," acknowledged McPartland. "Have Lieutenant Parek compute their speed and course." 
    Clemens spoke softly into the intra-ship phone, and Commander Jon McPartland returned momentarily to his thoughts. His square jaw was set as though cast in bronze, with hard muscles machined into its contour. 
    Here was the enemy—the unknown, the alien, who spoke only with destruction! This was the ship that had destroyed System patrols; later a full battle fleet of the Solar System's most powerful space fighters. The interceptors had been unable to establish communication of any sort; and they were blasted into fiery chunks of space debris before getting close enough to use their own guns. 
    "Well, here they are, Clemens," the Commander said aloud, "and getting uncomfortably close to the System. It looks like they're some other System's dominant intelligence, and we've got planets they want." 
    "Yes, sir," said the other, "and here we are, with the fastest, most heavily armed space fighter ever built—in the System." 
    "In the Universe," snapped McPartland. His full lips curved into a grim smile. "Under sealed orders which every citizen from Pluto to Mercury knows are: 'Destroy this ship—or it conquers our System.'"

    In the frozen wilderness of the Yukon, a lone wolf-dog named White Fang must navigate the brutal laws of nature and the complexities of human society. Born in the wild and shaped by both savage survival and cruel treatment, White Fang learns the harsh realities of life, adapting to each challenge with intelligence and resilience. As he moves between brutal masters and kind-hearted guardians, his journey unfolds as an exploration of the thin line between savagery and civilization. Jack London’s White Fang is a gripping adventure that delves deep into the primal instincts of animals and humans alike, offering a timeless meditation on survival, loyalty, and the power of compassion. 
    This classic novel, first published in 1906, remains one of London’s most celebrated works, complementing The Call of the Wild with its reverse narrative—where a wild creature is gradually domesticated rather than a domesticated one returning to the wild. White Fang is an unforgettable tale of endurance, transformation, and the enduring bond between humans and animals.

    The Planetoid of Peril by Paul Ernst - Undaunted by crazy tales of an indestructible presence on Asteroid Z-40, Harley 2Q14N20 sets out alone to face and master it. 
    Harley 2Q14N20 stopped for a moment outside the great dome of the Celestial Developments Company. Moodily he stared at their asteroid development chart. It showed, as was to be expected, the pick of the latest asteroid subdivision projects: the Celestial Developments Company, established far back in 2045, would handle none but the very best. Small chance of his finding anything here! 
    However, as he gazed at the chart, hope came suddenly to his face, and his heart beat high under his sapphire blue tunic. There was an asteroid left for sale there—one blank space among the myriad, pink-lettered Sold symbols. Could it be that here was the chance he had been hunting so desperately? 
    He bent closer, to read the description of the sphere, and the hope faded gradually from his countenance. According to its orbit and location, and the spectroscopic table of its mineral resources, it was a choice planetoid indeed. Of course such a rich little sphere, listed for sale by the luxurious Celestial Developments Company, would cost far more than he could ever rake together to pay for an asteroid. 
    Shaking his head, he adjusted his gravity regulator to give him about a pound and a half of weight, and started to float on. Then, his lips twisting at his own absurd hopefulness, he stopped again; and after another moment of indecision turned into the archway that led to the concern's great main office. After all, it wouldn't hurt to inquire the price, even though he knew in advance it would be beyond his humble means.
