QuasarDragon Presents "Potential Zero" by John Bloodstone

A classic SF novella from the pages of Science Stories. This is the first novella ever for the QuasarDragon Presents series. So it is by far the longest story yet. It is also, in my opinion, the best story so far.

"The Vanyans came from outer space bringing Earthmen invaluable gifts, and Earth received them—and their gifts —with open arms. But what was behind it all? What would the Vanyans ask in payment? With these questions came fear . . . and distrust . . . and hatred."

Quasar Dragon Presents "Delirium on Deneb"

"Delirium on Deneb" by Rolf Martell, from Thrilling Wonder Stories (April 1953). The latest classic genre public domain to premiere here.

"JON HORGA, big, bulky and space-tanned, sat alone in the spaceport bar, nursing the last drink he could buy. He savagely ground out his blue Venusian cigar and felt the single orange credit note in his jacket pocket. Tomorrow, he knew, a space patrol blacklist would be thrown at him for suspected wrecking, and he'd be grounded for good. Horga, though he burned with anger, was not badly worried. Flush with credits or broke, he'd always landed on his feet, because he'd always been a little harder and more ruthless than his enemies. And everyone —man or humanoid—he considered his potential enemy."
