The Androids take Krug for their God and seek to become one with flesh-and-blood mankind through his wisdom. But Krug is not God - and it takes a God to control the terrible emotions that Krug has stirred...Cover art by Colin Hay. -
Book I of Galactic Milieu. In the year 2051, Earth stood on the brink of acceptance as full member of the Galactic Milieu, a confederation of worlds spread across the galaxy. Leading humanity was the powerful Remillard family, but somebody - or something - known only as "Fury" wanted them out of the way. Only Rogi Remillard, the chosen tool of the most powerful alien being in the Milieu, and his nephew Marc, the greatest metapsychic yet born on Earth, knew about Fury. But even they were powerless to stop it when it began to kill off Remillards and other metapsychic operants - and all the suspects were Remillards themselves. Meanwhile, a Remillard son was born, a boy who could represent the future of all humanity. His incredible mind was more powerful even than his brother Marc's - but he was destined to be destroyed by his own DNA...unless Fury got to him first! Cover art by Stephen Bradbury. -

They have forgotten their origins and their society has reverted to that of a Stone Age culture that flourished on Earth centuries ago. Is it a racial memory that has been awakened? Or is there a more alien reason for the change, embodied in the symbol of their oracle, the Earthwind? Elspeth Mueller and Peter Ashka have both come to the planet to seek the truth behind the Earthwind - but they have brought with them the seeds of their own slow destruction.

Caliban III. Asimov's famous Three Laws, which provide far-future humanity with omni-compliant robots, ultimately led to a vision of hell - a human existence with all challenge and conflict removed. Thus Asimov proposed the New Laws to Roger McBride Allen, laws which provide humanity with helping hands, but not slaves. On Inferno, the tensions between Spacer and Settler are as strong as ever; but now the majority of robots are working on terraforming rather than as personal servants. Caliban and Prospero, New Law robots, and their fellows have settled in Valhalla, a city in the northern Utopian region. Unbeknownst to them, the Governor is planning to bring down the Comet Grieg on Utopia in order to bring about changes essential for further terraforming. Valhalla and its inhabitants are...expendable... Cover art by Bruce Jensen. -
