About this title

Synopsis

2 short novels: "The Molecule Men" & "The Monster of Loch Ness":
"The Molecule Men" concerns a fluid invader who takes over Earth by way of shape changes through a summit conference of blanked-out world leaders. But it all begins on a low level of intimidation: "...a man has turned somehow into a swarm of bees..."
If you've assumed there's something nasty in that Scots tourist attraction "The Monster of Loch Ness" there is--& when it's bombed for its subversive activities, it raises hell. The style's a bit crowded & ragged but these are two examples of the triumph of matter over method.
