Thirteen O’clock And Other Zero Hours

Put them all together…A clock whose hands point to 13 o’clock…a land of witches and demons where sorcery is the key to success, until American know-how takes over…a bewildered soldier-of-fortune in a future where heroes are unknown…a gorgeous female robot, programmed to arouse human desire, and wreak inhuman vengeance…a sofa filled with deadly invaders of Earth…a space ship designed to destroy itself…an eerie desert where life and death are one…

…and you have C.M. Kornbluth’s special brand of SF magic in a must-read gathering of unforgettable triumph.
