Book II of Starcats. All is not well on Qsaprinel. The normally peaceful world, ruled by crustacean-like creatures blessed with a dry wit and the philosophical good sense of a Mahatma Gandhi, has suddenly turned up "Classified" on all Federation records. Duncan Kinnear isn't an important Federation investigator - but then Qsaprinel isn't an important planet. Besides, Kinnear has a modest record of success in odd jobs where even the problem is unclear, to say nothing of the solution. And he has some unlikely allies: the big red cats called Ungrukh - dangerous, telepathic and fiercely loyal to their friends. Kinnear saved their world; they will help him save this one - even though the natives do look more like crayfish than one normally expects of a race of philosophers, and are not good to eat. With the help of a psychic reader of Tarot cards and a chilling rumor about mutant humans (not inclined even slightly toward philosophy) on Qsaprinel, Kinnear and company are on their way. -

Book I of Petaybee. Major Yanaba Maddock wasn't a lot of good to the company any more. Lungs practically destroyed by poison gas in a military debacle, she could barely breathe without coughing, never mind doing anything strenuous. But the company still had a use for her and sent her to the icy planet Petaybee to do their spying. Strange things were happening there: geological survey teams sent to examine newly detected mineral deposits were coming up empty or - disappearing altogether. Unauthorised genetically engineered species were being spotted. And the locals weren't talking. The company believed the locals were hiding something - or even plotting rebellion. Yana quickly learned that the locals were more than willing to adopt a sickly newcomer - they taught her to cook, how to keep warm, all the survival ropes - even a home made remedy that helped her lungs more effectively than anything the company had to offer, for all their state of their art. As her health improved, Yana became determined to protect her new home and new people - for something wonderful and strange was happening on Petaybee - it was worthy fighting for, dying for - but most of all it was worth living for.

Or will the Norse tricksters use their greater power to make up for their smaller numbers? The computers and the massed spectators wait eagerly to find out.
