  • Donal Graeme, Dorsai of the Dorsai, was the final link in a long genetic train, the ultimate soldier, whose breadth of vision made him a master of space war and strategy - and still greater, the focus of centuries of evolution, the culmination of planned development and through him a new force made itself felt. The Dorsai were renowned throughout the galaxy as the finest soldiers ever born, trained from birth to fight and win, no matter what the odds. With Donal at their head they embarked on the final, impossible venture: they set out to unify the splintered worlds of Mankind.  Cover art by Tony Roberts.
  • Aliens: Moties. First contact A.D. 3017 in the region of space known as The Coalsack - otherwise known as 'The Face of God.' To the distress of the pious, the mote in His eye (a ruby-red beam of light in the blackness) is revealed to be the blood-red sun of the only aliens Mankind has ever encountered. Human observers, all too soon astounded by Motie sexual practices, have many surprises in store...Cover art by John Harris.
  • Book II of Lensman series. No human had ever landed on the hidden planet of Arisia. A mysterious barrier, hanging unseen in space, turned back all ships. Then the word came to Earth, inexplicably but compellingly: 'GO TO ARISIA!'  Virgil Samms, founder of the Galactic Patrol went -  and came back with the Lens, the strange device that gave the wearer powers that no man had ever possessed before. Samms knew that the price of this power would be high. But even he had no idea of the ultimate cost - nor of the strange destiny awaiting the First Lensman. Cover art by Chris Foss.
  • A full length version of the classic short story on which the original film - starring Michael Rennie - was based. Out of the sky it comes - alien and mysterious and menacing. For more than two days the people of earth watch as it crisscrosses the globe. All over the world there are the same reactions: mystifiction - and fear. Then it lands. In an open park near the heart of Washington D.C. , it sits for a day and a night. After many hours, a panel in the ship opens. From it come two figures - a man and a robot. For a long moment they face the silent crowd..then the man speaks: "I am Klaatu and this is Gnut." He raises his right arm, palm outward, in the universal signal for peace. The gesture is rewarded with a burst of gunfire. Mortally wounded, the alien falls to the ground...and thus begins a classic story about invaders from outer space. The story that inspired a classic movie. With black and white stills from the original film.
  • In a post-nuclear future, women rule the world. Having expelled men from their vast walled cities to a lower-class wilderness, the women in this futuristic universe dictate policy and chart the future through control of scientific and technological advances. Among their laws are the rules for reproductive engagement, an act now viewed as a means of procreation rather than an act of love. In this rigidly defined environment, a chance meeting between a woman exiled from the female world and a wilderness man triggers a series of feelings, actions, and events that ultimately threaten the fabric of the women's constricted society. Trying to evade the ever-threatening female forces and the savage wilderness men, the two lovers struggle to find a safe haven and reconcile the teachings of their upbringings with their newly awakened feelings.

  • If there weren't so many of the world's new visitors, nobody would believe their outrageous claim. That they come from the future. But they arrive in their millions - a constant stream of people escaping into the past to flee an invasion of murderously savage aliens; people to whom the world now has a responsibility, for they are our children's children. The refugees' time tunnels, the one-way passages that conduct them to a temporary haven on earth, are supposedly secure and adequately guarded by contemporary weapons. But when the alien monsters breach their defences the world is in for an orgy of indiscriminate warfare and slaughter...
  • Book I of Finisterre. The planet could have been a paradise for humans,with its fertile farmland and towering ore-rich mountains. But its riches lie beyond their reach. For here, all animals, from tiny willy-wisps to fierce goblin-cats, survive by telepathy, projecting images that drive humans mad. Only the Riders, a handful chosen by the native Nighthorses, have any kind of protection. Whilst townsfolk cower behind a religion based on fear and ignorance, Riders and their Nighthorses, bonded telepathically, challenge the Wild. Then comes a time of killing and chaos that climaxes in a blinding day of secrets and blood, terror and truth, with the fates of the Riders, the Nighthorses and an entire world at stake. Cover art by Mick Posen.
  • Book III of Lord Valentine. Treachery and wizardry run rampant under the reign of the mighty Pontifex, as both the rightful and the unworthy heirs to the throne anxiously await his demise. Korsibar, son of the current Coronal, plots with his twin sister and ambitious companions to seize the power of the Coronal when his father ascends to the throne of the Pontifex. But the burdens of the crown and scepter exact more of a price than Korsibar is prepared to pay. His rival fights to take his appointed place as keeper of his beloved Majipoor...and to restore order to the utter chaos that has befallen their world. Cover art by Jim Burns.
