West of Eden I. When dinosaurs ruled the earth... In Harrison's imagination, they still do. The catastrophe that ended the Age of the Dinosaurs 65 million years ago in the world we know never happened. The evolution of the great reptiles continued, climaxing with the Yilanè, the most intelligent and advanced race on Earth. But when the onset of a new Ice Age forces them to cross the ocean to explore and colonise a vast, strange continent, they clash violently with a savage new breed of mammal that they have never before encountered. Mammals that walk erect, hunt and use crude stone tools - and weapons...Cover art by Gino d'Achille; illustrations by Bill Sanderson. -
One day the tough, dangerous, dirty jobs will be done by robots...invulnerable soldiers with superhuman strength and killer instinct; miners and sandhogs who can work on distant planets too deadly for humans; incorruptible judges, fearing neither political pressure or criminal vengeance; librarians with total knowledge instantly available...a chilling, yet piercingly prophetic picture of the Robot Age -when Man's 'slave' machines have learned their own strength - and the weaknesses of their masters. Cover art by Chris Moore.

L. M. Greenspan, the head of ailing Climactic Studios, gave producer Barney Hendrickson five days to get a major movie in the can - and Climactic out of it. Impossible? Not with Professor Hewett's miraculous technicolor time machine. Hollywood's sexiest star...a real Hercules of a hero... and a genuine eleventh century background for a an epic historical film - it was a Hollywood producer's dream. Nipping back to A.D. 1,000 with a whole film crew and two glam stars, Barney sets out to prove that the Vikings discovered America five hundred years before Columbus - and to film the event in glorious Technicolor. The only trouble is the extras - how do you control a lot of real wild eleventh century Vikings? Well...you could try escaping back to the present day and return to the eleventh century when the row's over... And this is one film with a lot of crazy out-takes and extras you won't want to miss!

Stainless Steel Rat Book V. It was totally impossible for Cliaand to wage interstellar war - but the crazy little planet was winning, whatever the odds. And there wasn't much the peaceful galaxy could do...except send Slippery Jim diGriz a.k.a. The Stainless Steel Rat to wage his own kind of guerilla campaign against the grey men of Cliaand and the leader, the indomitable Kraj. But then the Rat was aided by a band of liberated Amazons and his own beloved murderous Angelina - and they had to swing the odds in his favour! Cover art by Bruce Pennington. -

But the family is soon fighting an enemy of a different sort, when the humans-only galaxy of the League is invaded by all manner of hideous aliens. The Rat, disguised in the most hideous combination of alien physical features, is sent into the centre of the aliens' stronghold, where he finds himself the object of desire among the aliens. His task is to stop the aliens, who plan to wipe out every human in the universe. And time is running out...Cover art by Peter Elson. -
Someone was tampering with time, altering the past to eliminate the present, fading people out of existence into a timeless limbo. One of the victims was Angelina, the lovely, lethal wife of James Bolivar Di Griz - better known as the Stainless Steel Rat. That put Slippery Jim on the trail of the villains, a trail that went back to 1984 and an ancient nation known as the United States of America. The Stainless Steel Rat was determined to rescue his wife. And before he was through he'd thrown dozens of centuries through time on BOTH directions. But then he didn't have much choice: to save Angelina, he had to save the world. Again. -
You can't keep a good rat down, of course nor out of trouble. Jim and the lethal, lovely Angelina owe themselves a honeymoon and Paraiso-Aqui looks like the place. Settled long ago by voyagers from the southern continent of Earth (or Dirt as it was also known) Paraiso is warm and easy. But all is NOT well in paradise. The serpentine General Julio Zapilote is about to sail back into office in another rigged election and the chance to scupper him is too good for Jim to pass up. Corruption, bribery, graft and chicanery...as usual. Cover art by Peter Elson. -
