  • On July 2, 1947 something crashed in the desert outside of Roswell, New Mexico. An explosion of light and sound made the sheep wail, the chickens squawk, and the children scream. And then the ranchers heard a noise they thought could only have come from the devil himself. For forty years, Majestic Agency director Wilfred Stone helped the CIA pretend the landing never happened. Then his conscience got the better of him. This is the real story, told to reporter Nicholas A. Duke by the guilt-racked shell of the man who once worked tirelessly to cover it all up.  It is a truth so terrifying that Whitley Strieber had to call it fiction. Cover art by Ted Seth Jacobs©

  • An omnibus of the three volumes of the Towers series. Out Of The Dead City: The Empire of Toromon had finally declared war. The attacks on its planes had been nothing compared to the final insult - the kidnapping of the Crown Prince. But how would the members of this civilisation - one of the few that survived the Great Fire - get beyond the deadly radiation barrier, behind which the enemy lay? And assuming they got beyond the barrier, how would they deal with that enemy - the Lord of the Flames - whose very presence was unknown to the people among whom he lived? The Towers Of Toron: The Lord of the Flames was loose on Earth once more - this deadly alien entity had nearly destroyed the Empire of  Toromon with its first attack. Its return now would mean a new era of chaos and conflict for the remnants of humanity.  Somehow mankind must defeat this strangest of all enemies - an enemy that could be anyone or anywhere, an enemy that could reduce the human race to primitive savagery... City Of A Thousand Suns: he war was over. The great computer which had arranged and directed the complex military operations of that future nation was to be dismantled. But the computer had become expert in the science of self-defence...and it resisted. The government buildings were blasted. Rockets rained on the great city, and the Empire of Toromon, the first great hope of humanity after the millennia of radiation wreckage, faced disaster at the hands of a super-scientific monster of its own creation. But, unknown even to Toromon's desperate leaders, was the fact that behind the berserk computer lurked the unearthly mind of a real enemy - a foe from the most distant realm of space, intent on making the Earth the first victim of galactic conquest.  Cover art by Bob Haberfield.

  • Book I of Dinosaur Planet. On Earth they had died out 70 million years ago, but on Ireta the dinosaurs ruled in all their bizarre splendour.  The expedition sent to explore this seemingly bland planet was trapped within its energy as quickly and mysteriously as their relief ship vanished.  And half the expedition's personnel reverted to type and as predatory carnivores systematically hunted down their colleagues.  Only the frozen sleep of cryogenics offered an escape.   But for how long?
  • Book II of Dinosaur Planet. Having been in cryogenic sleep for at least two generations, Kai, Varian and their companions find the Dinosaur Planet much changed.  There has been a regression to primitive barbarity and much necessary life support equipment has malfunctioned or has disappeared.  A rescue ship is on the way but new problems have arisen.  What are the motives of the mysterious Theks? Why are the intelligent Giffs acting so strangely?  And what is causing the mindless hostility?
