Forbidden Worlds #67

Jerry Robbins, America's greatest test pilot, volunteers to fly Professor Alonzo Belding's experimental space rocket—a daring mission meant to show off his skills and prove himself to his fiancée Myrna Winsum. But when a bearing failure cripples the engines high above Earth, Jerry finds himself stranded in orbit around the planet, running low on supplies and with no clear way home. Things take a strange turn when a mysterious planetary object appears in his path, its gravity inexorably pulling him toward an unknown world and a crash landing that will change everything.

Bill Graham heads into the remote wilderness of British Columbia on a solo expedition for his museum boss, Mr. Andrews, to investigate the legend of the Subhuman Giants—massive, fur-covered creatures that local tribes claim inhabit the unexplored peaks around Morris Mountain. Armed with witness accounts and mysterious evidence, Bill scales the treacherous heights with his companion Gail, only to discover that the creatures are far more real—and far more noble—than anyone expected.

Young Will Emmons hides a box of fireworks as a boy, only to forget where he stashed them—but decades later, when he and his wife Polly find themselves trapped in their house as a catastrophic flood sweeps it downriver toward certain destruction, a startling discovery in the walls offers them one last chance at survival. What seems like a cruel twist of fate may be something far more mysterious, as Will learns that an old promise made long ago is about to come true.
