Star Trek Original Series No. 88. The Hawking left Earth during the 21st century on a one-way mission to colonise a distant world.

When the Enterprise comes to the rescue of the malfunctioning Hawking, the colonists find themselves thrust into a universe and an era that has left them behind. Captain Kirk intends to help the colonists adjust as best he can - but it's not simple. The newcomers are survivors of a more violent, more paranoid time and they have brought old suspicions - and an ancient weapon of mass destruction - into a world of unexpected challenges and dangers. -
Book I of Acorna: She was just a little girl, with a tiny horn in the centre of her forehead, odd-looking feet, beautiful silver hair and several curious powers: the ability to purify air and water, make plants grow and heal scars and broken bones. A trio of grizzled prospectors found her drifting in an escape pod amid the asteroids, adopted her and took her home to sizzling controversy. Officious bureaucrats wanted to put Acorna in a home and cut off her 'deformity'. Ambitious scientists wanted to isolate and study the 'unicorn girl'. Which was worse? Acorna's 'uncles' weren't waiting around to find out - they took her back at knife-point and ran to the bandit planet Kezdet where no questions are asked and she might grow up free. But Kezdet has dark secrets - an army of toiling, silent children in the mines and factories, unnamed, unloved and unseen, administered to by a mystery man known as 'The Piper'. And the Piper has plans for Acorna...Cover art by John Ennis.

Erich von Daniken undertakes to prove that in prehistoric and early historic times the Earth was visited by unknown beings from the Cosmos; that these extra-terrestrials created human intelligence by a deliberate genetic mutation; that the extra-terrestrials ennobled hominids 'in their own image'; that these visitors to Earth were recorded and handed down in various religions, mythologies and popular legends; and that in some places, the extra-terrestrials left physical evidence of their presence on Earth. He draws his evidence from all over the world: from the Turkish mountains where carved monoliths and giant stone heads mysteriously survive the centuries; to the secret caves of Ecuador, where treasured remnants of a bygone era remain hidden; to equatorial Africa, where the 'primitive' Dogon have been familiar for centuries with the complex movements of Sirius, a star only discovered by western astronomers since the invention of the radio telescope. He searches the ancient documents of the Hindus, the Jews and the Christians; examines religions, mythologies and legends and fins a recurring theme of 'human' gods, heavenly chariots, 'space suits', floods and disasters. The evidence is largely circumstantial - but he challenges all comers to produce an interpretation that better fits the facts. Illustrated with black and white photographs. -
Book III of Revelation Space. Humanity has endured centuries of horrific plague and a brutal interstellar war. It's time for a few decades of peace and quiet. No such luck - there's a new threat. Stirred from aeons of sleep, the Inhibitors - ancient alien killing machines designed to eliminate any emergent intelligence - have targeted mankind. Fleeing the first wave of machines, a ragtag group of refugees headed by war veteran Clavain waits for the next phase of the cull. But with Clavain sunk deep in despondency, the leadership falls to Scorpio, the product of a flawed experiment in genetic engineering who has every reason to hate humanity. Then their little colony receives an unexpected visitor: an avenging angel, a girl born in ice, gifted with the power to lead humanity to safety and the ability to draw down mankind's darkest enemy. On Hela, where vast travelling cathedrals circle the world in endless processions, the witnessing of a miraculous event has created an apocalyptic new religion. And as the cathedrals crawl closer to to the treacherous fissure known as Absolution Gap, a dark and unsettling truth becomes apparent: to beat one enemy, it may be necessary to forge an alliance with something much, much worse...Cover art by Chris Moore. -
Dr. Fiore, a practising psychologist, has found that many of her patients who suffer from psychological and health problems have actually been traumatised by past close encounters of the third kind - visitations and abductions by extraterrestrials, the memory of which has been buried in the victim's subconcious. Beginning with a short history of UFO sightings fro prehistoric times to the present, the author explores some of the more famous abduction cases, followed by ten of Dr. Fiore's actual case histories showing the various forms these encounters take. Finally there is a checklist for the reader in order to recognise possible signs and symptoms.

An alternate history set in 1973, which has been shaped by Washington losing the Battle of Lexington and being executed as a traitor. Now America is a British colony dreaming of independence. Columbus didn't discover the Americas and the cultures of South America have not been destroyed. Here is a British Empire which, in the 20th century, is still influenced by its Victorian creators. But this ideal is threatened by increasing unemployment and the threat of economic decline. The empire needs something to boost its fortunes. So is born an engineering project to link Britain with its colony: a tunnel beneath the sea. Employment will increase and manufacturing will prosper. Our hero is Captain August Washington, engineer & descendant of the traitor. As well as wishing to see the tunnel's success, he wants to see his homeland achieve independence or - at least - the dominion status of Canada and Australia. He's also in love with Iris, daughter of the genius behind the project, Sir Isambard Brassey-Brunel, who despises the upstart colonial engineer.If the project is a success, the credit will go to Washington and it is his hope that his success will at last erase the shame of George, hanged as a traitor to his king more than 200 years ago.
