This first book publication of three exciting novelettes from science fiction’s Golden Age includes: LAST CONFLICT, in which an artificial storm of incredible violence--a storm that destroys London and all its environs--reveals the rise of a ruthless new scientist who uses his newly acquired control of the weather to gain ultimate power; NEMESIS, in which a rogue asteroid heading straight for Earth is driven out of control by a ruthless dictator who wants to conquer the stars--and instead may only destroy himself and the planet; and THREE’S A CROWD, in which explorer Bruce Langden's beautiful new wife, a descendant of a lost race of Incas he's recently discovered in the Amazon jungle, either suffers either from some strange disease--or is having an affair with his best friend and fellow traveler; the truth is stranger than fiction!
