THE WORLD GRABBERS by Paul W Fairman

ARE YOU A FAILURE?
If success has passed you by there may still be time. Sri Ahandi has helped many to undreamed-of heights in achievement and personal satisfaction. Swami Ahandi will give a lecture on "The Human Potential" Tuesday evening at eight o'clock. 802 W. 10th St.

That was the entire ad, an obvious come-on for some con game. But somehow it pulled Dane Morrow like a magnet, almost beckoning with an invisible finger to come and be fleeced. Since Dane didn't have a nickel to his name, what could he lose?

It turned out that the swami guaranteed to make you rich - for a fee of $1,000 and a share of the wealth you would acquire through his astounding powers...

It was a hoax - except that Dane did immediately start making money, and found himself enmeshed in a miasmic complex of dangerous secrets, evil influences, and a sinister society of self-styled super-men known as The Enlightened Ones!

THE GODS HATE KANSAS by Joseph Millard

INVASION FROM THE STARS

It began with the landing of nine meteors in Kansas. Then, suddenly, it exploded into a massive catastrophe.

First, the meteorite investigating team were turned into automatons, ruled by an unknown, alien intelligence. They barricaded themselves from the world and began building a rocket project, aimed at traversing the stars.

Then the Crimson Plague struck, sweeping over Earth's population, destroying human capacities and defying scientific probing.

Only a few escaped the invasion from outer space, among them astrophysicist Curt Temple, whose girlfriend, Lee Mason, was enslaved, her personality changed.

Curt knew he had to pit his slim knowledge against the most perfect intelligence in the cosmos to save the world - and the woman he loved.
