      Armchair fiction presents extra large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. "Under the Triple Suns" is a terrific tale by one of the early masters of modern science fiction, Stanton A. Coblentz. When the Cosmic Blight overwhelmed Earth there was only one thing Man could do--leave Earth or die! Atomic power had made space flight possible, but in view of the scarcity of spaceships, not more than one person in thousands could save themselves. As civilization disintegrated, men thought only of their own survival. Dave Harrowell, director of the Rand Astral Project, was no exception. His spaceship, Shooting Star, lay ready on its launching site. In a state of suspended animation, Harrowell, his wife, and a third unwelcome pas¬senger--the man partly responsible for the Cosmic Blight--blasted off into space, heading toward faraway Alpha Centauri. However, when the Shooting Star landed, it was far from the Alpha Centauri system. Harrowell and his companions had landed on a strange planet--a planet with three suns! Where they were, they could not tell. Not that it mattered, because Earth was lost to them forever...
