Zeta Major: Simon Messingham
$20.00Past Doctor Adventures XIII. In his fourth incarnation, the Doctor landed on the planet Zeta Minor, a world located on the edge of the known universe, the bridge-point for the opposite universes of matter and anti-matter. Now in his fifth life, the Doctor meets the same race the landed there before, and once again they are eager to harness its secrets - with terrifyingly dangerous results. Caught up in a situation akin to a Jacobean revenge tragedy, the Doctor must fight his way through layers of court intrigue before he can try to stop the people really in control from allowing the forces of Anti-matter free reign to destroy every life-form in the universe. -

With Gallen and the others newly sworn to her service, the young queen begins the great struggle against the aliens. Leaping from world to world via an ancient system of instantaneous transport gates, the heroes face terrible dangers and great wonders as they seek the heart of the dronon worlds, carrying the battle straight to the enemy.

Wildside: Steven Gould
$20.00It's another world: a pristine earth where mammoths and sabre-toothed tigers still roam. There are no laws, no cities, no highways, no pollution - no people. It lies just beyond the heavy wooden door, hidden at the back of the barn, through a tunnel that enters a hillside in South Texas, but doesn't come out the other side. It belongs to Charlie, a whole world accessible only through the doorway on the ranch his uncle left him free and clear. But to explore a planet, you need money. And equipment. And the money to buy the equipment. Money to live on while you explore; money for taxes on the ranch and to pay for the training needed to survive in a completely wild world. So Charlie captures some extinct birds - passenger pigeons - and sells them on the tame side to finance his venture. He sells more than a dozen, and Wildside Investments is born. That is the beginning of the end - for how can you keep a secret like that one anyone gets wind of it? Charlie and his trusted friends will have to fight for the preservation of the Wildside - and their own lives. Cover art by Nicholas Jainschigg.

He still resides there today, and he hasn't aged a day since the war ended in 1865 - nor has his home, impregnable to any known weapon. For years he has secretly manned a way station for a galactic federation's transit network, acting as Earth's unassuming diplomat to the stars. The world around him has gone about its business, slowly building towards another World War and a modern America on the brink of war keeps tabs on odd folks within its borders.

Meanwhile, the galactic federation is in turmoil. Now, both his home and the galaxy need a miracle to survive - a miracle that falls to Enoch Wallace to provide. Cover art: Almost Home, Randy J. Lagana. -
