Crewman number 6 realized, after a long, frightful moment, that everything he’d heard was true–he was a goner. The transporter would never make it to him in time.
And not even the decency to credit the author the way he always preferred to have his name presented… “E.E. Smith, PhD”

I prefer books where the author or their authorized agent have signed off on the proof pages.
I am painfully aware how poorly proofed and formatted public domain texts can be. Such free reads are worth every penny you pay for them. (Yes P.D. texts can be a godsend to fans of out-of-print works.)
There is a word for people who dredge the public domain for their own profit, and the word is not “fan”.

“Hm, yeah, pretty boring.”
*Scroll down and see rest of cover*
“PpPpPpPpPp” [loud involuntary raspberry sound]

Such is the fate of redshirts, unfortunately.
If only I didn’t have only one, but two lazy eyes, 6 thought – I would not have been running in the wrong direction. – Well, I will try yodelling.
