Ether Ore: H.C. Turk
$8.00Melody wanted more than anything to be on Marz - but when she got there, there wasn't much to do except dig for ether ore. The only interesting place was the top-secret laboratory where the essence of pure idea was refined. She got her pert little nose too close to the idea-essence and literally faded away. She became a ghost, only to arrive stark naked on a new and different Marz, where primitive farmers greeted her as a witch and gleefully made preparations for burning her at the stake - and then things got complicated!

Book II of Blake Walker: The universe had opened up for Blake Walker when he discovered that his world - our own Earth - was just one of hundreds ranked side by side on alternate timelines, each more strange and wondrous than the other, all coexisting at once, and all available to Blake Walker and the few natives of those other-Earths who could break the barriers between timelines. But Blake's new existence is threatened now - his time-traveling patron's daughter has been kidnapped. The engineers who could control the time-travel process are in open rebellion. And Blake himself has stumbled across a plot by a powerful and dangerous band of conspirators to ravage all the Earths in their reach. Blake must stop them. He knows that somewhere in the infinity of time there lies the key to solving this crisis. If he only knew when to look...Cover art by Victor Kalin. -

Intervention: Julian May
$65.00For 60,000 years the five races of the Galactic Milieu have watched and waited for the time when human mental development on Earth is ready for the Intervention. As the 20th century draws to an end, phenomenal mental powers are displayed by operants all over the Earth - they can 'farspeak' to one another telepathically. They can build mind-shields and they are capable of coercion by the power of mind. One of these is Rogatien Remillard, a dealer in second hand books, whose memoirs - written a century on - are the basis of this chronicle. Here is a world where the mind is a weapon; here are two brothers, each possessed of extraordinary powers. One is a peace-bringer and the other is an advocate of evil. Cover art by Stephen Bradbury.
