Away and Beyond

"The creature crept ...
A shapeless, formless thing yet changing shape and form with each jerky movement, it crept along the corridor of the space ship..."
So  begins the VAULT OF THE BEAST, a brilliant story of the search for a Martian treasure and for control of a mathematical secret, the unbreakable time lock. And it is also the beginning of a superb collection by A.E. Van Vogt, transporting the reader from a super-secret weapon in Germany to future worlds in galactic space.
It contains the following stories:
The Great Engine (1943)
The Great Judge (1948)
Secret Unattainable (1942)
The Harmonizer (1944)
The Second Solution (1942)
Film Library (1946)
Asylum (1942)
