  • Star Trek Adventures Series, No. 3. While investigating rumours of renewed activity by the Klingo  Empire within the Galactic Core, the U.S.S. Enterprise makes contact with a shuttle craft from the U.S.S. Rickover - a Starship presumed lost with all hands over twenty years earlier. The lone occupant of the shuttle craft is Thomas Clayton, once Kirk's room mate at the Starfleet Academy, now the self-proclaimed Chosen Son and favoured prophet of a deity he calls Ay-nab. Kirk disregards this until his engines are taken control of by an unexplained outside force - a force which Clayton insists is now taking Krk and company to meet his god.  Cover art by Alister Pearson.

  • Prisoner of war, optometrist, time traveller...these are the life roles of Billy Pilgrim, the hero of this moving, bitter and funny story of innocence faced with apocalypse. One of the world's great anti-war books, this centres on the infamous bombing of Dresden  during Word War II, Pilgrim's odyssey through time reflects the journey of our own fractured lives as we search for meaning in what we are afraid to know. Slaughterhouse-Five made Kurt Vonnegut a cult hero in American literature, a reputation that only strengthened over time, despite his being banned and censored by some libraries and schools for content and language. But it was precisely those elements of Vonnegut’s writing - the political edginess, the genre-bending inventiveness, the frank violence, the transgressive wit - that have inspired generations of readers not just to look differently at the world around them but to find the confidence to say something about it.

  • On July 2, 1947 something crashed in the desert outside of Roswell, New Mexico. An explosion of light and sound made the sheep wail, the chickens squawk, and the children scream. And then the ranchers heard a noise they thought could only have come from the devil himself. For forty years, Majestic Agency director Wilfred Stone helped the CIA pretend the landing never happened. Then his conscience got the better of him. This is the real story, told to reporter Nicholas A. Duke by the guilt-racked shell of the man who once worked tirelessly to cover it all up.  It is a truth so terrifying that Whitley Strieber had to call it fiction. Cover art by Ted Seth Jacobs©  
  • Book III of The Damned. After millennia of useless war, the union of alien races was on the verge of winning a decisive victory - thanks to their new Earth allies.  But then the birdlike Wais scholar, Lalelelang, found disturbing evidence that huamns might not adapt so easily to peace.  When her field research revealed the existence of a secret group of powerfully telepathic humans called the Core, it looked as if Lalelelang would be the first victim in a new war between Humans and their allies.  At the last moment, a lone Core commander took a chance on her intelligence and compassion, to gamble the fate of Humanity on the remote chance they  could find an alternative to a galaxy-wide bloodbath.
