About this ebook

The eighth and final volume of Sci-Fi Film Fiesta: The Swingin' 60s takes readers beyond the boundaries of Earth and into the vast, mysterious reaches of space, where confidence, courage and technology are repeatedly tested against the unknown.

In "Way Out Worlds," daring astronauts, explorers and adventurers set course for distant destinations believing themselves prepared for whatever awaits them. Yet time and again they discover that the universe is far stranger—and far more dangerous—than they ever imagined.

Travel to Venus in the international science-fiction adventure First Spaceship on Venus (1960). Encounter bizarre alien mysteries in The Phantom Planet (1961), and join a solitary castaway struggling for survival in the classic Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964). Venture into the haunting and atmospheric nightmare of Planet of the Vampires (1965) and experience the realistic tensions of the space race in Countdown (1968). Finally, conclude with the rugged frontier spirit of lunar adventure in Moon Zero Two (1969).

So strap in, set your coordinates for the farthest reaches of the imagination, and prepare for a final voyage into worlds where the unknown waits just beyond the next horizon.
