  • Footfall: Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle

    $25.00
    When the object headed toward Earth from the vicinity of Saturn was detected, the immediate reaction of the USA and the USSR was one of suspicion but this soon gave way to the astonished realisation that the impossible was happening - Earth was about to receive visitors from a distant star. And surely they hadn't travelled for centuries just to be hostile - they must be friendly.  A welcoming party was assembled and sent to an orbiting space station This was catastrophically wrong. Once in range the alien spacecraft launched a debilitating attack on the space station and took the bulk of the welcoming party prisoner. Missiles launched at it were destroyed with ease, and a single nuclear detonation in the upper atmosphere emitted an electronic pulse that played havoc with telecommunications on the ground. Earth was at their mercy. They could bombard the Earth with with pinpoint-accurate lasers and small meteors that struck with the force of nuclear explosions - and all this without using their major weapon, one they mysteriously called The Foot...Cover art by Tony Roberts.

  • To The Land Of The Living: Robert Silverberg

    $12.00

    What if there were an Afterworld?  Not Heaven or Hell, per se, but a place where everyone who has ever lived reawakens when they die, to live again and die again and live again, for ever. Warrior-King Gilgamesh has been in such an Afterworld longer that almost anyone else save the Hairy Men from Before the Flood, and in recent centuries he's seen it change beyond recognition as the newly dead import their machinery, weaponry and Industrial Age attitudes.  Gilgamesh's dissatisfaction with this behaviour sends him on a quest through the Afterworld realms of such luminaries as Prester John, Simon Magus, Walter Raleigh and Pablo Picasso in search of a gateway that is rumored to exist - a gateway that leads back to the land of the living. Cover art by Steve Crisp.

  • The Still, Small Sound Of Trumpets: Lloyd Biggle, Jr.

    $60.00

That was why the IPR teams working throughout the galaxy operated in secret, mingling with the unsuspecting natives in their efforts to bring democracy to the humanoid worlds. Kurr, though, was a problem: the King's shrewd understanding of his down-trodden people, backed up with periodic torture, defeated the IPR's efforts. Until Cultural Survey Officer Forzon arrived. Despite a frightening lack of knowledge, a price on his head and treason in his own ranks, Forzon fought his own unconventional way to a solution that resulted in a  revolution.

  • Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones: R.A. Salvatore

    $12.00
    There is a great disturbance in the Force. . . . From the sleek ships of the glimmering Coruscant skyscape to the lush gardens of pastoral Naboo, dissent is roiling. The Republic is failing, even under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, elected ten years earlier to save the crumbling government. Separatists threaten war, and the Senate is hopelessly divided, unable to determine whether to raise an army for battle or keep the fragile peace. It is a stalemate that once broken, could lead to galactic chaos. Mischievous and resolved, courageous to the point of recklessness, Anakin Skywalker has come of age in a time of great upheaval. The nineteen-year-old apprentice to Obi-Wan Kenobi is an enigma to the Jedi Council, and a challenge to his Jedi Master. Time has not dulled Anakin’s ambition, nor has his Jedi training tamed his independent streak. When an attempt on Senator Padmé Amidala’s life brings them together for the first time in ten years, it is clear that time also has not dulled Anakin’s intense feelings for the beautiful diplomat. The attack on Senator Amidala just before a crucial vote thrusts the Republic even closer to the edge of disaster. Masters Yoda and Mace Windu sense enormous unease. The dark side is growing, clouding the Jedi’s perception of the events. Unbeknownst to the Jedi, a slow rumble is building into the roar of thousands of soldiers readying for battle. But even as the Republic falters around them, Anakin and Padmé find a connection so intense that all else begins to fall away. Anakin will lose himself - and his way - in emotions a Jedi, sworn to hold allegiance only to the Order, is forbidden to have.

Edward Davis, a promising rookie in the Time Service is sent back to find them...back much further than he has ever been before.

As the scheduled hour of his rendezvous with the time field approaches, Davis is faced with the truth behind the fate of his former colleagues and the prospect of sharing that fate.
