Catching the attention of Scott Duvenney, who is one of New York's leading criminal defense attorneys, the beautiful Edna Raalhof appears from nowhere. Scott Duvenney is determined to win her attention and then her affection. Treating her kindly, he cannot give the credit to his manners, but rather to his attraction. She was by no means the first woman in his life to accept or reject his advances. Because she was a tough "read," he chose to read her attitude toward him positively. Little does he know Edna Raalhof, an adventuress, seems to have an inexplicable purpose of her own, which only intrigues Scott Duvenney even more. Where did she come from? Why is she here? What are her plans? Will she discover his true dealings? Is she in cahoots with "Wildcat" Casey, a secret agent who was mystifying to both police and underworld circles - and even Scott Duvenney?

Book excerpt: If the name Phil Nowlan is not well-known today, it is because it has been eclipsed by that of his most famous creation, Buck Rogers. Buck began life as Anthony Rogers, in Nowlan's first published story, Armageddon 2419 AD., and its sequel, Airlords of Han, quickly became a phenomenon that popularized science fiction in the first half of the twentieth century in the same way that Star Trek and Star Wars popularized it in the second half. But until now, Nowlan's other science fiction stories have been forgotten in the wake of Buck's immense popularity. Collected here with the original Anthony Rogers stories are The Time Jumpers, The Onslaught from Venus, The Prince of Mars Returns, and Space Guards.
