  • The author is not only convinced that extra terrestrials are visiting Earth, but that the continued UFO presence over the last 100 years has produced a change in human awareness. In this, the sequel to UFO Quest, he explains how we have been receiving communications from deep space for over twenty years and how, through specific channels and key individuals, messages from a powerful group called the Council of Nine have been received. The messages allegedly contain a wealth of information on the past, present and possible future of the Earth.

  • Three by Connie Willis: Uncharted Territory: Explorers Findriddy and Carson are sent to Boohte to survey the ridges and scrub-covered hills of the planet. Back home, their adventures are followed by countless breathless fans, but the reality is far less romantic as they deal with dust, nitpicking regulations, and uncooperative aliens. Teamed with a young intern whose specialty is mating customs and a native guide of indeterminate gender, the group sets out for a previously unexplored sector of the planet. As they survey canyons and cataracts, battle dangers, and discover alien treasures, they will soon find themselves in alien territory of another kind: exploring the paths and precipices of sex. And love. Fire Watch: A time-traveling graduate student from a future Oxford University is sent to the London Blitz due to a clerical error. He was supposed to travel with St Paul for his practical exam, but instead ends up assigned to the Fire Watch for St Paul’s Cathedral - and he hasn't the least idea what's going on. Even The Queen: Virtually every new technology spawns those who insist that whatever-it-is is a bad thing. But in this case, an entire cult is involved. Cover art by Mick Van Houten.

We've walked on the moon, developed the Internet, unlocked the building blocks of life and yet there are some events and circumstances that continue to baffle us. Some of the most puzzling are those that are still unsolved, such as Jack the Ripper and the Bermuda Triangle; and then there's  mysterious creatures such Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster - and the countless reports of extra terrestrial interaction. Lavishly illustrated with photographs, this book provides a glimpse of mysteries that encourages the reader to seek further information.
  • Book III of Worldwar. From Warsaw to Moscow to China's enemy occupied Forbidden City, the nations of the world had been forced into an uneasy alliance against overwhelming odds.  In Britain and Germany, caches of once-forbidden weapons were unearthed and unthinkable tactics employed against the enemy. Even as lack of fuel forced people back to horses and carriage, physicists worked frantically to recreate humanity's first nuclear bombs - with horrific results. City after city joined the atomic pyre as the planet erupted in fiery ruins.  The tactics of daring guerillas become increasingly ingenious against a superior foe whose retaliation would grow ever more fearsome. No-one had ever put the United States or the world in such deadly danger.  If the carnage and annihilation ever stopped, would there be any pieces to pick up? Cover art by Stan Watts
