Those covers are really classy! and it appears both "The Best of" and "Judgement Night" (a personal favorite) are free on the Kindle store at the moment.
Nice. They put out a bunch of Kuttner last year, but only one was a Moore collaboration.
I guess I should do one of my periodic checks for classic authors who've been been reprinted digitally.
ETA: Ooo, somebody's republished D.F. Jones' Colossus (AKA The Forbin Project). Oddly, though, they've put out second sequel but not the first. They also have The Earth Has Been Found, a fun Wyndhamesque cozy catastrophe -- but none of the Jones novels I haven't read.
You're right. I got confused because "Colossus and the Crab" is a horrible name for the final book of a trilogy (and the plot's not much better -- I mean, the Crab Nebula as a threat to the solar syster?)

I remember "Earth Has been Found" as more creepy than cozy (extra-dimensional insect-like parasites?) but it has been a while since I read it.
I was going to say you might have heard of his Venus Prime collaborations with Arthur C. Clarke but aaaaactually the book you're most likely to have encountered (as a movie) is The Core.
I read Core back when, but for some reason all I remembered of the plot was that it featured an antagonist in the form of none other than dear old Saddam Hussein, who hatches a plot to use a deep diagonal borehole and an H-bomb to trigger earthquakes and wipe out Israel, so I never made the connection to the movie. Preuss doesn't even have a story credit on IMDB for the film - I wonder if it's really based on his novel at all.

Colossus
Thanks for the pointer; I'll go snatch up Colossus and The Fall of Colossus as ebooks.
It's been years since I've read them but isn't Fall the second book, and thus the first sequel, in the series?
