  Miracle by Ray Cummings - A summons from yesterday, a promise from tomorrow–they had commanded Alan Dane to tear apart the pages of history–to save his unborn son! 
  "But how can you possibly know that time traveling has never been done?" the chemist protested. "Someone from our future may have gone into the past many times." 
  "I should think they'd have created quite a commotion," the lawyer observed. "Wouldn't we have heard of it from our historical records?" 
  "Of course." The chemist was smiling now. "We probably have. History tells of many important occasions on which a 'vision' appeared. A miraculous presence, such as Joan of Arc, for instance, or the Angel of Mons." 
  "Or the appearance of the Sun God to the Aztecs. I get your point," one of the other men interjected. "You think that there might have been a time traveler who materialized just long enough to take a look—and the superstitious natives took him for a god. Why not? That's probably just what would happen." 
  Young Alan Dane sat in a corner of his grandfather's laboratory, listening to the argument of the group of men. He was well over six feet in height, a sun-bronzed, crisply blond young Viking. Beside him sat Ruth Vincent, his fiancée, a slim girl of twenty. Alan's heart was pounding. Somehow it seemed as though this bantering talk of time traveling were something momentous to him, something requiring a great and irrevocable decision. 
  Then abruptly old Professor Dane held up his hand and, quite casually, said, "What you do not know, gentlemen, is that for half my life I have been working to discover the secret of time travel." 
  His audience was suddenly tense. Professor Dane was loved and respected by each of them, and his word in his chosen field of physics was final. If he said a thing could be done there was no mistake.

  The Space Beasts - No Air No...

  When Captain Johnny Lodge and Karen Franklin venture deep into the forbidden Asteroid Belt, they expect danger—but not proof that the miners’ wild tales are true. A radiant blue flame, abandoned derelict ships, and creatures that defy every law of known biology soon surround them, transforming their mission into a fight for survival and understanding. 
  As the crew confronts living entities born of radiation and mutation, they uncover a mystery that challenges humanity’s assumptions about life itself. In a place where ancient pyramids glow in space and music can still monstrous beings, escape may depend not on firepower, but on courage, compassion, and the willingness to accept an entirely new form of existence. 
  Clifford D. Simak was one of science fiction’s most thoughtful and humane voices, blending cosmic wonder with deep emotional insight. His stories often explored the boundaries between humanity, alien life, and the moral choices that arise when those worlds collide. 
  Best known for classics such as City and Way Station, Simak’s work earned multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards and helped define a quieter, more philosophical strain of science fiction—one where empathy mattered as much as imagination.
