  • Star Trek No. 13. The Sackers may be the most hated race in the galaxy, so repugnant that their mere appearance makes most Federation citizens ill.

They've torn a hole in the fabric of spacetime, an expanding tear so that one universe is leaking into another, and unless the Enterprise crew can stop it, it will consume everything in its path.

  • Baby, Doll and Lati are three spunky alien babes who are trapped on Nufon, the most boring planet ever.  They steal a space ship and land in Sydney in search of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.  After kidnapping Jake, a rock wannabe - and tossing him into the spaceship's sexual experimentation chamber - the global warming really kicks off! The babes form a band and rocket to stardom.  But Jake and Baby are falling in love, a posse of Nufonians is headed for Earth and the US military is getting involved as well.  Add Eros the talking asteroid to the mosh pit and now it's a save the world situation.  A real fun read.
  • Imagine living on a planet where shimmering veils of pure energy fall at yearly intervals, sealing in everything and everyone on its surface into a time 'pocket'.  You can live in a time pocket that makes life an almost ageless state, where time passes so slowly that senility and death are meaningless concepts.  But the penalty is that only have free interaction with those of your own 'generation':  settlers from ten years before are seen only as blurred outlines and a settler from fifty years before could walk right through you.  Tourists are careful to heed the date of the next Veilfall, knowing that to be on Azlaroc at Veilfall is to be there forever.  And what if you're the one man on Azlaroc  that knows for a certainty that Veilfall is coming early, and without warning?

  • What do a dead cat, a computer whiz-kid, an Electric Monk who believes the world is pink, quantum mechanics, a 200-year-old Chronologist, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (poet) and pizza have in common?
