HE SAVED ALL HIS MONEY TO BUY A PLANET. THERE IS JUST ONE PROBLEM WITH ITS MATTER.

Chuck Lambert has one dream: own a planet. After eleven years of saving, sacrifice and wishful thinking, he finally gets his chance through Madman Murphy, the self-proclaimed king of planetary realtors.

The bargain world looks beautiful—until Chuck tries to live on it. Gravity does not behave. The air is wrong. The water is worse. Everything he bought is exactly as advertised, which may be the biggest problem of all.

A bargain planet.

A very persuasive salesman.

And laws of physics that make the fine print look harmless.

Funny, inventive and packed with strange possibilities, A Matter of Matter is classic science fiction adventure where ordinary ambitions collide with extraordinary worlds—and ingenuity is the only way out of the deal.

Four complete science fiction adventures in one volume. Also included are:

The Conroy Diary—A struggling author writes outrageous space adventures that no one on Earth believes—yet somehow the ridiculous book is making him very real money.

The Planet Makers—With a planetary-engineering deadline collapsing around him, the maddeningly relaxed Sleepy McGee seems more interested in poker than terraforming—until the real job comes into focus.

The Obsolete Weapon—A World War II soldier is hurled into ancient Rome, where modern weapons, gladiators and Nero make survival a problem across two different ages.

Bringing his gift for storytelling to science fiction, L. Ron Hubbard crafted fast-moving tales where big speculative ideas become human problems—filled with adventure, ingenuity, humor, danger and unexpected reversals.
