  • Outward Bound was the second colony ship being sent to Mars by an Earth in dire need of more living space and raw materials.

Meanwhile UNIT is called in when a plane missing in strange circumstances is rediscovered, contaminated with radiation and particle damage that cannot possibly have occurred on Earth. As the mystery deepens, what little light they can shed on the matter leads the Brigadier to believe that with the Doctor away, Earth's only hope may lie with its greatest enemy.

  • When the ship that brought him to Earth crashed and Tweedlioop (not his real name) was the only survivor, he found himself at the mercy of Earth and its inhabitants. Some were kind and understanding: Bill saved him from wolves in the Alaskan wild; Danni battled authorities for his custody, and Laurie became his one true friend. They all wanted to help him return to his people. But the U.S. Government didn't. They trapped him - to test him and to hold him hostage. They planned to trade him for the key to his people's stardrive. If his friends could not help him before the ship arrived to rescue him, it would be too late, not just for Tweedlioop but for all of Earth. Cover art by Doug Beekman.

  • All over the world, quite independently, thousands of people are claiming they have been abducted by aliens. Often these people are ridiculed by the media, regarded as unblanaced by scientists and ignored by the governments that are supposed to protect them - in spite of this, they persist with their claims. Former UK Government UFO investigator Nick Pope has written the definitive book on the alien abduction mystery, delving into folklore, the contactee movement, and more modern claims that people have not just seen UFOs, but encountered extraterrestrials. He also examines the reaction of governments, and of the scientific community, as well as examining the world's most famous alien contact cases and highlighting the common threads that bind them together. Pope devotes a significant portion of the book to detailing a number of cases that he investigated personally, before drawing things together by discussing the various theories that might explain what lies behind this fascinating mystery.
