EVERYONE AGREES REALITY IS AN ILLUSION. ONE STUBBORN MAN REFUSES TO LET THE WORLD DISAPPEAR.

A new guru has convinced the world that thought creates reality—and that the physical universe can simply be wished away. Nearly everyone accepts the idea. Shellback does not.

As people, places and solid ground begin to vanish, one stubborn old man clings to the unfashionable belief that reality ought to stay put. To save what remains, he will have to outlast a movement built on belief itself—and confront the man who expects to be the last mind standing.

The world is disappearing.

Belief has become power.

And stubbornness may be the only thing solid enough to stop it.

Funny, provocative and delightfully strange, One Was Stubborn is classic science fiction built around a reality-bending what-if—paired with two more adventures of space-station mischief and lunar intrigue.

Three complete science fiction adventures in one volume. Also included are:

A Can of Vacuum—A newly commissioned ensign is sent on a classic space-station fool’s errand—to fetch a can of vacuum—and comes back with an answer no one expected.

240,000 Miles Straight Up—A hard-drinking young officer is pulled into a Cold War race to the Moon where national humiliation, secret bases and lunar danger turn one mission into a struggle for power.

Bringing his gift for storytelling to science fiction, L. Ron Hubbard crafted fast-moving tales where big speculative ideas become human problems—filled with adventure, ingenuity, humor, danger and unexpected reversals.
