Amazing Tales Volume 109 brings together four unforgettable stories of discovery, danger, and defiance. From the depths of space to the farthest reaches of science and the mysteries of the mind, this anthology delivers gripping tales that push the boundaries of imagination. In "Asteroid H277—Plus," a daring betrayal aboard the Sun-freighter *Cinnabar* sparks a desperate fight for survival. When a fortune-hungry schemer orchestrates the perfect crime, the remote asteroid where he plans his escape becomes the setting for a far deadlier reckoning. Twists of fate and cosmic justice collide in this tense, high-stakes space thriller. "Volpla" takes a different turn, following a scientist whose playful experiment in genetic engineering yields astonishing results. His creations—small, winged beings called volplas—quickly evolve beyond expectation, developing language, culture, and an insatiable desire for freedom. As their flight becomes more than just physical, the boundaries between creator and creation blur in a story that soars with wonder. In "Beyond Bedlam," society has reshaped the human mind itself, enforcing a world where split personalities and chemical controls dictate every aspect of life. But one man refuses to conform. As he struggles against a system designed to suppress emotion and individuality, his fight for love and self-determination becomes a rebellion against the very foundation of civilization. Finally, "Spawn of the Venus Sea" plunges readers into terror on the open ocean. When the crew of the *Mermaid* hauls in an unexpected catch from the depths of Venus, they awaken something ancient, shape-shifting, and deadly. As a storm closes in, survival depends on unraveling the monstrous secret that lurks beneath the waves. Amazing Tales Volume 109 is a journey through worlds both thrilling and strange, where the unknown is just the beginning.
