The Touch of Reality
E. C. Tubb
In his youth he had dreamt of the Moon and all it wonders— but not of this nightmare journey stalked by death at every turn
Tomorrow
E. C. Tubb
This is a grim story. It takes place in a raw and grim atmosphere—amidst the remnants of civilisation waging an unrelenting battle for survival in the aftermath of atomic war. Where the weak go under and only the strong survive. It points a grim moral, too.
Death Is A Dream
E. C. Tubb
Beyond the cryonic horizon. "Suspended animation," the doctor had said. "turned out to be simple, once we managed to iron out the bugs. This place is built like a vault. You'll be safe enough in here until we wake you and when we do, we'll have the know-how to cure what's wrong. All you have to do is go to sleep and when you wake, your troubles will be over." Brad Stevens, Twentieth Century physicist, had made the choice and chosen the long cold sleep. It worked out, too, just as the doctor had predicted. There was only one matter nobody had mentioned: the little matter of paying the fee at the future end of the line. For Brad, death had been indeed a dream, but the awakening proved to be an incredible nightmare.

The Complete Dumarest
E. C. Tubb
The Complete Dumarest is a 33-volume series of science fiction novels by Edwin Charles Tubb written between 1967 and 2008. Each story is a self-contained adventure, but throughout the series, Earl Dumarest, the protagonist, searches for clues to the location of his home world, Earth.
The Terra Data
Part #22 of "Dumarest" series by E. C. Tubb
That there was ever a planet called Earth only Earl Dumarest believed. He had been seeking it a long time, though nobody else at the crowded galactic center believed in it. He had acquired some bits of information during his search outwards: a Terrestrial zodiac, an authentic painting of Luna, a general series of hints that he was getting closer. Then he learned of a man who knew where Earth was, who had the special coordinates that would take a starship directly to it! The man had lived on Elysius, and his widow knew where his data were. She demanded a price from Dumarest--a chore that involved a mining expedition which would bring her back a fortune and him the information. But Elysius was not the Elysium its name projected--and The Terra Data not so rapidly come by! Genre: Science Fiction
The Wonderful Day
E. C. Tubb
"Then the Devil had smiled. The door of Hell cracked open and, for a while, the churches were full of desperate creatures pleading to the God they had ignored for help and protection. The door of Hell had opened wider and, when it finally closed, something of Hell itself remained behind so that the world would never be the same again and craters glowed where cities had sprawled and things too horrible to be called human had been born to parents maimed without outward sign of injury..." Here are six stories of man in space and man on Earth, in each case facing some crucial decision that will impact the future of a settlement, of an individual, of humanity itself. First-rate science fiction adventure by a master of the form.

Destroyer of Worlds
E. C. Tubb
Epub v5 (retail)
All
is well aboard the Ad Astra, exploratory spaceship. Commander Carl Maddox
watches carefully for any signs of cabin fever or unrest, but the crew is
occupied with their jobs and hard at work.
The inaugural performance of an onboard play is commenced and all is going
perfectly – until the audience’s perceptions of the play take on a life of
their own.
“Turn back! Back! Back!”
A warning – but from whom?
Each spectator was given the message in a slightly different way, their
subconsciousness tailoring it for maximum effect. As Commander Maddox, chief
medical officer Dr. Claire Allard, and the rest of the crew try to solve the
mystery of the mental hijacking, one of the scout ships is attacked by another
mental warning – this time with dire consequences.
They have failed to heed the warning, a move they would later dearly regret.
The Ad Astra has discovered a bubble in space, a self-contained universe – one
they are now trapped in. A strange sentient planet had been quarantined by a
long-dead alien race. And for a very good reason … it was a Destroyer of Worlds!
E.C Tubb manages a large cast of characters while exploring one of the oldest
stories in a new way – Man vs. that which seeks to destroy him. Destroyer of
Worlds is a story in the classic science fiction style. The mystery and alien
tension will hook any reader and keep them turning each page until the end.
