Vintage Science Fiction & Star Trek Paperback Choice

This curated selection of vintage paperbacks represents a journey through the "pulp" and "media-tie-in" eras of science fiction. The collection ranges from the rare 1943 classic The Comet Kings by Edmond Hamilton to the expansive 1980s and 90s Star Trek universe, featuring works by celebrated authors like Alan Dean Foster and Vonda N. McIntyre. Each book serves as a premier "scholarly curiosity," offering not just a story, but a tactile piece of mid-century publishing history. The cover art—bold, surreal, and often experimental—makes these volumes perfect for a Dark Academia-inspired bookshelf or a dedicated space-age collection.

Please make your selection from the following titles:
1. The Comet Kings by Edmond Hamilton (1943)
2. Star Trek, The Fate of the Phoenix by Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath (1985)
3. Five Fates (anthology) (1971)
4. Flash Gordon, Book One: Massacre in the 22nd Century (1980)

These books are in good, readable condition, possessing the soulful character that only decades of "prior enjoyment" can provide. You will find the honest "found-history" patina of age here: softened cover corners, the characteristic scent of vintage paper, and warm tanning to the pages. Some volumes may feature a quiet bookstore stamp on an inside cover, a small mark of their journey through previous collections. Whether you are seeking a rare wartime publication or a classic 25th-anniversary Star Trek novel, each selection adds a layer of academic gravitas to your personal library.
