Book III of The Planet Pirates series. These people will save the galaxy: Lunzie, who's discovered that the one good heavyworlder she has ever met isn't so good after all; Fordeliton, who is investigating the connection between the super-rich and the planet pirates, and who is dying from a mysterious slow poison; Dupaynil, who has made the mistake of pushing Sassinak too far and has been exiled; and Aygar, who is out to prove he has brains as well as heavyworlder brawn. And of course, there's Sassinak...ordered to report to FedCentral for the trial of the mutineer Tanegli. She'd been told to disarm her ship when it enters restricted space; she'd been told her crew can't have liberty or leave; and she'd been told to follow all the rules. But the only person who might be able to stop the disaster ahead has never been one to follow the rules...

A double helping of Dr. Who adventures. The Myth Makers: Long, long ago on the great plains of Asia Minor, two mighty armies faced each other in mortal combat. The Greeks and the Trojans would fight for Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world. To the Greeks it seemed that the city of Troy was impregnable and only a miracle could bring them success... And then help arrives in a most unexpected way as a strange blue box materialises close to their camp, bringing with it the First Doctor, Steven and Vicki, who soon find themselves caught up in the irreversible tide of history and legend...The Gunfighters: Back in the gun-totin', hard-hittin', fast-shootin' days of the Old Wild West, when outlaws ruled the land and the good guys stayed off the streets, a troupe of traveling players - Miss Dodo Dupont, Steven Regret and the mysterious Doctor Caligari - moseyed into the town of Tombstone one October afternoon. Their method of transportation was a mite peculiar though. After all, a police box materializing out of thin air sure ain't the usual way to enter a sedate town like Tombstone. And when the Doctor and his pardners meet up with Wyatt Earp and the notorious Clanton brothers, they soon find out that the scene is all set for high noon at the O.K. Corral.

Book II of The Void. The Intersolar Commonwealth is in turmoil as the Living Dream's deadline for launching its Pilgrimage into the Void draws closer.

Countering the various and increasingly desperate agents and factions is Paula Myo, a ruthlessly single-minded investigator, beset by foes from her distant past and colleagues of dubious allegiance...but she is fast losing a race against time. At the heart of all this is Edeard the Waterwalker, who once lived a long time ago deep inside the Void. He is the messiah of Living Dream, and visions of his life are shared by, and inspire billions of humans. It is his glorious, captivating story that is the driving force behind Living Dream's Pilgrimage, a force that is too strong to be thwarted. As Edeard nears his final victory the true nature of the Void is finally revealed. Cover art by David Marchal and Paul Youll. -
Omnibus volume: Santiago and The Return Of Santiago. Bandit, outlaw, known to all, seen by none, has he killed a thousand men? Murderer, madman, myth...Hiis legend as as great as the Galactic Rim itself, his trail as elusive as starlight in the great empty realms of space. Rewards have been posted on half a million worlds. His name is...Santiago. They hunt for him on the Galactic Rim, at the very edge of the Outer Frontier, where traders, miners, outlaws and misfits touch down on outpost worlds. They chase him at the Inner Frontier, towards the core of the galaxy where the stars press so close together that night is as bright as day. They are bounty hunters, like Giles Sans Pitié, of the hard heart and steel fist; Sebastian Nightingale Cain, a disillusioned revolutionary turned professional killer; and the deadliest of the them all, the Angel. They are journalists, like Virtie MacKenzie, who will stoop to any means, including blackmail and murder, to get her story. They are connoisseurs of fine art, like the Jolly Swagman, who wants a few pieces said to be held by Santiago. They are poets and preachers, bandits and pundits, magnates and madmen, aliens and cyborgs - and they all want a piece of Santiago. And a merry chase it is. But just wait till they catch him! For Santiago is much more - and less - than they think. And a hundred years on, when a cunning burglar named Danny Briggs finds a long lost manuscript, Santiago will ride again...

All over the world there are fantastic ruins and improbable objects which cannot be explained by any conventional means or theories. The sacred books of many faiths have descriptions of Gods who came down from the sky in fiery chariots and who always promised to return - and an ancient Sanskrit text contains what could only be a description of a journey in a space-ship complete with a graphic description of the force of gravity. What explanation can be offered for a huge block of stone weighing 20,000 tons the size of a four storey house complete with steps, ramps and decorations - and what force turned it upside down? Illustrated with black and white photographs.
