Dwight V. Swain Livres

Techniques of the Selling Writer provides solid instruction for people who want to write and sell fiction, not just to talk and study about it. It gives the background, insights, and specific procedures needed by all beginning writers. Here one can learn how to group words into copy that moves, movement into scenes, and scenes into stories; how to develop characters, how to revise and polish, and finally, how to sell the product. No one can teach talent, but the practical skills of the professional writer's craft can certainly be taught. The correct and imaginative use of these kills can shorten any beginner's apprenticeship by years. This is the book for writers who want to turn rejection slips into cashable checks.

For the first time in paperback, Armchair Fiction presents extra large paperback editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel, “Terror Station,” is a sci-fi nail-biter by Dwight V. Swain. A desert of doom? On a secluded military base in the middle of the desert, Carl Stone encounters a distinct change in his comrades perceptions upon his return to base from a trip to D.C. The entire contingent appears to have a tenuous grasp on reality…and what was that constant buzzing sound? Suddenly, sheer madness—monstrous creatures appearing out of nowhere. Yet Stone knew it was not madness he was fighting—but a vicious mind-controlling enemy. The stake: Earth! The second novel, “The Weapon From Eternity” is another great outer space epic. Once again, the Federation was ruled by madmen, twisted by their greed and lust for power. They sought the “ultimate weapon” to quash the Raider planets for good, and claim the universe as their prize. Jarl Corvett, freeborn Raider, thought of those who’d lived, and those who’d died, whether they lived or died for good or evil. He thought of freedom… Here is another great tale from Dwight V. Swain, a master story-teller not only in the field of science fiction, but in the mystery, western, and action adventure genres as well.

Two classic science fiction novels in one book. "The Terror Out of Space" by Dwight V. Swain and "Quest of the Golden Ape" by Ivar Jorgensen and Adam Chase.
