Two stories from the illustrious "Dr. Kinney" series by a pioneer of science fiction are presented. Early twentieth-century pulp publications included writing by Homer E. Flint, who began by penning scripts for silent films. When cars and movies were in their infancy, Flint foresaw genetic testing and had time travel fantasies. The two tales in this collection were first released in 1921 as issues of Argosy magazine. In The Devolutionist, Dr. Kinney and his friends take off from Earth in a specially designed sky car. They visit a totalitarian civilization on the Earth-like planet Capellette of the star Capella, where two worlds traverse through space bound to a shared axis, and they have access to potent telepathic abilities. In The Emancipatrix, the explorers travel to the planet Sanus, which is orbited by the star Arcturus, where they practice their newly acquired telepathic abilities with apes living in a hive community. A self-sufficient, regionally-based small press publishing enterprise is The Library of Alexandria.
