Psychologists and psychiatrists have long argued over the levels of mental activity.How much influence does the sub-conscious exert over our waking lives?
Does the deep unconscious affect both the higher mind levels?
Are mind and brain synonymous, or is one psychial and the other physical?
If a creature born in the imagination could be given enough energy electronically to convert thought into matter, what would be the outcome?
Do ancient thoughts linger on, like drifting sand and sighing zephyrs, long after the minds that bore those thoughts are dead.
Could an electrical receiver and energiser of adequate calibre, re-vitalise and substantiate such thoughts?
Dare the intrepid space explorer switch on that fantastic current?

Dolores Foster was walking home from work when she noticed an oddly shaped glittering something at the edge of the pavement.

The metal was engraved with peculiar semi-geometrical patterns and she thought it was vibrating as she held it...

Reactor XK9
Publication: 1963, Badger Books SF96 (the book is undated; year is taken from isfdb)
Font size: small
Abercrombie was a strangely secretive man even for a top atom scientist. He had peculiar, advanced theories of his own which he would communicate to no one. The Government research project was well provided with safety factors. In theory the Pile was safe... but theory and practice are poles apart. There is always room for human error. The only man who did not run was Abercrombie. Was he a hero or a megalomaniac? His body was never found, but inexplicable things happened after the accident. It was as if a presence or an essence lingered over the rebuilt Project Headquarters.
The accident at the Pile and the strange rumours surrounding Abercrombie's name were all but forgotten when the Aliens appeared. Terrible inhuman intelligences aided by powerful androids and monstrous robots threatened the Earth and Man's concept of civilised life. Then there was another strange phenomenon at the Pile and Abercrombie was no longer forgotten...

Uranium 235
Publication: 1962, Badger Books SF67 (the book is undated; year is taken from Tuck)
Font size: small
Atomic Alloys Amalgamated could always use a research technician. A man like Rosco Cawdor was sure of a job there. The security department hadn't been terribly keen. Cawdor had no living relatives. No one knew him. A few strands of circumstantial evidence were his only proof of identity.
Condition (acceptable/poor)
Exterior: minor shelf wear, marks & creases
Interior: tanned, heavier marks, writing at front; what looks like damage from a knife cut through middle of book (from back cover to about 1/3 way in) - text is still legible
Binding: split in book middle, but no loose pages
Descriptions are not exhaustive, but along with my images of the book(s), I aim to provide a good idea of overall condition, including any significant defects.
