STIRRING NOVELETS OF ALIEN WORLDS THE BLUE BEHEMOTH (by Leigh Brackett) Shannon’s Imperial Circus was broke—and jinxed. Its biggest asset was a blue Venusian cansin. And then, in a grey Venusian swamp, the asset became a liability which had to be paid for in human lives. THREE PLANET SHORT STORIES STRANGER FROM SPACE (by Hannes Bok) He was a god from space—and strangely inhuman. GRIFTERS’ ASTEROID (by H. L. Gold) It was a special con men’s free-for-all—three slickers outgyping each other. MENACE OF THE MISTS (by Richard Storey) A mindless horror poured from the sea-bottoms of Venus.

He has spent the last three decades weaving together his belief system, a tapestry of Eastern spirituality, Born Again Christianity, and New Age doggerel. In a compound near the Mexican border, his disciples tend the garden, take classes, and serve their guru while they wait for the end of the world. Joseph L. Flatley is a journalist who has spent years investigating Gabriel and his cult, the Global Community Communications Alliance. The result is New Age Grifter: The True Story of Gabriel of Urantia and his Cosmic Family. More than just another true crime book, it places Gabriel's religious community in the broader context of contemporary American belief.
