Books Update: Alias Binder And Jones

Posted on 13th January 2016 by 30CC13th January 2016

*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: Four books from two, but apparently three, greats of Science Fiction. Confused? Read on….. Lords Of Creation and Menace Of The Saucers are by Eando Binder, which was actually the pen-name of Earl and Otto Binder (hence E and O Binder), but in fact by the time these were written, Otto had taken over all writing duties, still finding time to write for Captain Marvel and Superman as well. Space War and Twin World are by Neil R Jones, a writer little remembered today, but who was a huge formative influence on several major writers. He was the first to use the ideas of future history (later used by Heinlein and Cordwainer Smith), cryonics (inspiring Robert Ettinger, the ‘father of modern cryonics’ ) and cyborgs and robots (Asimov) as well as being one of the first writers to use the term astronaut. Space War and Twin worlds both concern Professor Jameson, the last surviving human, who was revived from suspended animation by the robot-like Zoromes. Both books are Ace Editions, with the added attraction of Gray Morrow cover art.
