Operation — Frank Belknap Long

Armchair Fiction presents extra large paperback editions of classic science fiction double novels, complete with original illustrations. The first novel, “Operation Square Peg,” is a gripping account by Frank Belknap Long and Irving W. Lande of Earth's battle against an alien invasion. Earth's forces had finally seemed to gain the upper hand over the invading alien forces. Then one day the Enemy devised a new weapon and Earth's space pilots began succumbing to wild, irrational fear while in the midst of combat. The second novel, “Enchantress of Venus,” tells of love lost and found by Leigh Brackett. She cast him down into the hideous depths, beneath the seas of flaming gas, to where dead blossoms swayed, whispering, over strangely jumbled ruins… But there he found the secret of her power, and came surging back -- up from the depths, from the slime, the tortured swamps -- to storm her forbidden temple and seek her within.
