  • From the holiday planet of Paradiso one could go on so many exciting excursions - Mars, Venus, the Moon, even the most distant and alien worlds were accessible to the inquisitive holiday maker, courtesy of Starways, Inc. - the giant combine which owned Paradiso and half the galaxy.  But there was only one trip which interested Ram Burrell and it was the one that Starways seemed to be actively discouraging trippers from taking - the trip to  Earth, the birthplace of Man. And once Burrell had got a ticket for the journey, he began to discover why Earth had been the least visited planet and why Starways and worked so hard to keep it that way.  Cover art by Vincent Segrelles.
  • We'd all like to save the world but there seems to be a lot of it and the individual seems so puny.  Hence the appeal of the very marketable Claustrosphere, invented by despotic media mogul Plastic Tolstoy: a domestic, self-contained, stunningly tough eco-shelter for the average bloke.  It is also the most irresponsible idea ever: the death of the Earth becomes survivable. When Nathan, a self-absorbed British script writer gets access to Tolstoy to pitch his end-of-the-world movie, he feels his time has come.  But why is Nathan's script so dangerous?  It's the perfect vehicle for Max, the ex-jeans model and multi-media superstar.  And should Max be falling for beautiful and utterly stroppy eco-terrorist Rosalie?  And what is it about the Claustrosphere marketing campaign that requires the loss of innocence and the slaughter of the innocent?
  • We'd all like to save the world but there seems to be a lot of it and the individual seems so puny. Surely it's sensible to make other arrangements. Hence the appeal of the very marketable Claustrosphere, invented by despotic media mogul Plastic Tolstoy: a domestic, self contained, stunningly tough eco-shelter for the average bloke.  It is also the most irresponsible idea ever: the death of the Earth becomes survivable.

  • When the crew of the four-person scout ship Santa Maria first sighted the new life-zone planet, they  called it "Worthless". A little too far from the mother sun for comfort, caught in the grip of conflicting gravitational pulls, it was a planet in constant uproar and not at all fit for human colonisation. Still, time was running short for the people of Earth to find a new home and this was the first place that approached even remotely livable conditions.  Don and Zees decide to do close up study of the surface while Breed and Ellen stay in orbit overhead.  But just after they landed there came a cataclysmic upheaval that killed many of the primitive life forms and left Don and Zees stranded.  Forced to go native and live off the land until their crew mates could rescue them. they had no idea that the next meal they ate would change the future of the planet.

The destruction of all life could be only a countdown away....
