  • Book I of Bio Of A Space Tyrant. Though he was later accused of every crime and sexual perversion in the galaxy, Hope Hubris began as an innocent. Because he defended his older sister against the violent lusts of a wealthy scion, Hope and his peasant family were forced to flee Callisto, one of the moons of Jupiter. Pursued by the bloodthirsty scions across the airless desert, they barely escaped with their lives. The illegal space bubble was overcrowded with refugees, all hoping to reach Jupiter for asylum. But the space travelers had not reckoned on the terrible threat of high space-the pirates, barbaric men who rape, rob, and murder, with no thought but to satisfy their bestial appetites. It will take all Hope's ingenuity to survive, but the atrocities he witnesses will never die. There is only one way he can be rid of them...Cover art by Alan Craddock.
  • The sequel to Soldiers of Paradise. In the city-state of Charn the generation-long winter has given way at last to Spring and the lovers Thanakar and Charity are separated by war and social upheaval. Throughout the harsh winter, Charn's deterministic religion, based on astrology and the erotic love poems of an unwitting god, locks most of the population into unending, hopeless servitude of the Starbridge ruling class. The long-awaited spring - in accordance with prophecy and dim legends - is heralded by floods, the births of monsters and sweet, fertile rain which brings an intoxicating taste of chaos to the burdened poor whose minds are slowly turning to the bloody pleasures of revolution and riot. Thanakar Starbridge, fleeing a death sentence, escapes to distant Caladon and believes his lover to be dead. But Princess Charity journeys through a cavernous underworld to emerge into the sunshine, freedom and the freshness of a world renewed. Cover art by Don Maitz.
