THE WORLD IN BETWEEN AND OTHER STORIES:

WONDER WORLDS BY A WONDER CRAFTSMAN
Edwer Thissel, Consular Representative of the Home Planets, had his problems. A notorious assassin had arrived on the planet of Sirene - and instructions had come for Thissell to capture or kill him!

When an out-worlder's body was found in the river, Thissell knew where the criminal was - behind one of the masks worn by the three remaining out-worlders on Sirene. But how to tell which one, on that world where everybody lived behind masks, where men never spoke but sang to instruments, and where any act of intervention in another man's business was punishable by death!

The Moon Moth is only one of the highly imaginative and exciting stories in this delightful collection by Jack Vance.

MONSTERS IN ORBIT:
Though still quite young, Jean Parlier had already had an active interplanetary life. Wanted on her native world, she had escaped to Earth on wits and courage. A very pretty girl, she had a very unusual type of personal vitality which captivated men. But her aim was not a man, but first getting her hands on a million dollars.

There was a way open to do that. Go to Earl Abercrombie's private satellite and get him to marry her.

On any other worldlet, it would have been simple. But on Abercrombie Station, the free-weight home for ultra-fat people, where Jean was considered a scarecrow freak, and Earl Abercrombie was mad only about space monsters, it was anything but simple!
