Theodore Rose Cogswell (1918 - 1987) was an American science fiction author. His first published story, "The Spectre General" in the magazine ASTOUNDING (June 1952), was a humorous tale in which a long-forgotten maintenance brigade of the Imperial Space Marines holds the promise of reinvigorating a declining Galactic empire. It's a classic and was selected by the Science Fiction Writers of America as one of the greatest SF stories of all time. This volume (a reissue of Cogswell's 1968 collection, THE THIRD EYE) presents 16 of his classic stories and is the first of what should eventually be three Cogswell Megapacks, presenting his complete short stories. Included are: NO GUN TO THE VICTOR MR. HOSKIN'S HEEL THE CABBAGE PATCH LIMITING FACTOR DISASSEMBLY LINE A SPUDGET FOR THWILBERT TRAINING DEVICE IMPACT WITH THE DEVIL MACHINE RECORD ONE TO A CUSTOMER THE MAN WHO KNEW GRODNICK LOVER BOY THE OTHER CHEEK MINIMUM SENTENCE THE SHORT COUNT CONVENTIONAL ENDING If you enjoy this book, search your favorite ebook store for "Wildside Press Megapack" to see the more than 100 other entries in the series, covering science fiction, modern authors, mysteries, westerns, classics, adventure stories, and much, much more!

The late Reginald Bretnor (1911-1992) was never a prolific writer -- he wrote only a handful of books and about 100 short stories (and more than 120 short-short "Feghoots" under his Grendel Briarton pseudonym) -- over a 45-year writing career. In addition to wars, weaponry, and science fiction, Bretnor's broad interests included cats. (And puns. Did we mention the horrible puns?) These subjects are all touched on in this collection. A sly sense of humor permeates Bretnor’s fiction, and as we work to digitize his complete body of work and present it to readers in a series of Reginald Bretnor Megapacks, we know you’ll have fun reading it all. Included in this volume are: SUGAR PLUM GNURRS COME FROM THE VOODVORK OUT CAT MAYBE JUST A LITTLE ONE UNKNOWN THINGS BUG-GETTER AUNT'S FLIGHT DR.
