  • Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1955)
    On a quiet fall evening in the small, peaceful town of Mill Valley, California, Dr. Miles Bennell discovered an insidious, horrifying plot. Silently, subtly, almost imperceptibly, alien life-forms were taking over the bodies and minds of his neighbors, his friends, his family, the woman he loved -- the world as he knew it.

    First published in 1955, this classic thriller of the ultimate alien invasion and the triumph of the human spirit over an invisible enemy inspired three major motion pictures.

  • Assault on a Queen (1959) with Paul Bacon, Illustrator
    Fire Island in early May, after the winter ice melts and before the summer crowd arrives, is the ideal time to raise a submarine from the dead. Six adventurers - five men and a woman - salvage a World War I German submarine from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. They will use it in executing a daring idea, an idea methodically planned and timed with scientific precision. Their goal seems fantastic, but if they can bring it off each one of them will be rich for life. Only the factor of human relations is not taken into account, and the tension between these six people begins to mount unbearably as the moment looms closer and closer for an Assault on a Queen.

This time Reuben Prien at the secret, government-sponsored Project wants Si to leave his home in the 1880s and visit New York in 1912. Si's mission: to protect a man who is traveling across the Atlantic with vital documents that could avert World War I. So one fateful day in 1912, Si finds himself aboard the world's most famous ship...the Titanic.
