The Astounding, the Amazing, and the Unknown: A Novel - Softcover

"Affectionate and entertaining . . . An adventure that swoops from romp to chills, from humor to dread. Malmont's big, lush novel is sly and charming, nostalgic and intriguing fun." --Katherine Dunn, author of Geek Love

"Here we go again--careening back into America's pulp past, where history, fantasy, and what-if collide like out-of-control space rockets. If James Ellroy were steeped in science fiction instead of crime, he'd be Paul Malmont." --Patton Oswalt

"Effervescent, fact-drenched, comedic . . . With cameos by Einstein, Vonnegut, and Bradbury, Malmont's funny, zesty, brain-teasing love letter to sf heroes affirms the glory of creativity and science, sacrifice and courage." --Donna Seaman, Booklist

"A rip-roaring adventure." --Billy Heller, The New York Post

"The very definition of a page-turner . . . Undeniably effective entertainment, and a gateway into the history of science-fiction pulps." --Rowan Kaiser, The Onion's A.V. Club

"A wholly original romp through WWII-era technology and intrigue." --Matthew Pearl, author of The Dante Club

A sequel to "The Chinatown Death Cloud Peril" finds Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, and their literary associates confronting a powerful adversary who threatens to tip the balance of power during World War II.
