Son Blurb: “THE TREE FROM ANOTHER GALAXY
"A vast, breathing, sappy mass, a trunk five miles in diameter, and twelve miles from the great kneed roots to the ultimate bud-the Vital Exprescience' in the cant of the Druids. The Tree ruled the horizons, shouldered aside the clouds, and wore thunder and lightning like a wreath of tinsels. It was the soul of life, trampling and vanquishing the inert, and Joe understood how it had come to be worshipped by the first marveling settlers on Kyril."
For Joe Smith, the sight of the Tree was the beginning of an experience that would forever change his life. He had journeyed into space in search of a man, but what he found was a tree, a huge sky-dominating tree, that held the power of life and death over millions of slaves.”
Iszm Blurb: “BUMPER CROP OF PODS, PALACES, AND COSMIC PERILS
The people of Iszm lived in homes that were alive.
Their dwelling places were elaborate, lush hollow trees, wherein the very walls, floors, ceilings, and even the furniture and plumbing, were all part of the living, thriving plant.
The Iszic, alone of all the people of the universe, possessed the secret of cultivating such a dwelling.
The result was that they were holders of a gigantic, lucrative monopoly, exporting millions of such homes to all the other worlds.
For decades, aliens from other worlds, including Earth, had been desperately trying to steal a female house-seed in order to break the monopoly. The Iszic security force had squashed every attempt success-fully.
This is the story of yet another plot-the most ingenious of all-to carry off a prize worth billions, just one seed from THE HOUSES OF ISZM.”
