Sandra Foster studies fads - from Barbie dolls to the grunge look - how they start and what they mean. Bennett O'Reilly is a chaos theorist studying monkey group behaviour. They both work for the HiTek Coporation, strangers until a misdelivered package brings them together. A moment of synchronicity - if not serendipity - which leads them into a chaotic system of their own, complete with a million dollar research grant, cafe latte, tattoos and a series of unlucky coincidences that leaves Bennett monkeyless, fundless and nearly jobless. Sandra intercedes with a flock of sheep and an idea for a joint project - after all, what better animal to study both chaos theory and herd mentality? But scientific study is rarely straightforward...Cover art by Bruce Jensen. -

This casebook includes: the knife that was thrown at its victim - from nowhere; the chair that brought death to all who used it; a chilling shadow that terrified a down-to-earth nurse so much that she spent time in a nursing home recovering from the fear; the hand of death that saved a life - and much more. A good collection of cases and incidents that have not been covered in similar volumes. -

Book I of Catteni. When the Catteni ships descended on Earth it was the most terrifying experience humankind had ever known. Kris Bjornsen, along with thousands of others, was herded by forcewhips into the holds of giant spaceships to be transported to the slave compounds of an alien planet. After a partially successful escape attempt, Kris was once more shipped across space - to an apparently untamed and empty planet. The Catteni just dumped an assorted load of humans and aliens on the strange world and left them to see what would happen. The refugees began to organise themselves for survival. The planet was eerie - and not quite abandoned. Someone - or something - had built huge storage barns. The planet was being used as a huge larder, for an entity they could not comprehend. As Kris and her patrol set out to explore the enigmatic world, she had yet another problem - Zainal, the high-ranking patrician Catteni who had been abandoned with the rest of them. He was strong, brilliant and kind. Kris is puzzled by his presence, his personality - and the tenuous tie she feels towards this man - who was not a man but one of the hated Catteni.
