So she contracted herself into the service of an off-world trader, who assigned her to buy cloth from the mysterious Wyverns.

  • Book II of Solar Queen. Lured by exotic gems and valuable oils, the crew of the space trader Solar Queen landed on the newly discovered planet Sargol, only to find their most ruthless competitor there ahead of them. Still they tried for fair trade, even according to the sly rules of the feline natives - whose beauty and grace were equalled only by their determination to drive a hard bargain.

Now they are forbidden by Federation rules from landing on any inhabited planet - and their supplies are running dangerously low...Cover art by Tony Roberts.
  • Book II of  Blake Walker: The universe had opened up for Blake Walker when he discovered that his world - our own Earth - was just one of hundreds ranked side by side on alternate timelines, each more strange and wondrous than the other, all coexisting at once, and all available to Blake Walker and the few natives of those other-Earths who could break the barriers between timelines. But Blake's new existence is threatened now - his time-traveling patron's daughter has been kidnapped. The engineers who could control the time-travel process are in open rebellion. And Blake himself has stumbled across a plot by a powerful and dangerous band of conspirators to ravage all the Earths in their reach. Blake must stop them. He knows that somewhere in the infinity of time there lies the key to solving this crisis. If he only knew when to look...Cover art by Victor Kalin.
  • When Raf Kurbi's Terran spaceship burst into unexplored skies of the far planet Astra and was immediately made welcome by the natives of a once-mighty metropolis, Kurbi was unaware of three vital things: one was that Astra already harbored an Earth colony - descended from refugees from the world of the previous century. The second was that these men and women were facing the greatest danger of their existence from a new outburst of the inhuman fiends who had once tyrannised Astra. And number three was that the natives who were buying Kurbi's science know-how were those very fiends - and their intentions were implacably deadly for all humans, whether Earth Born or Star Born.

  • They weren't ordinary cats. There was something strange about the way they looked at Jim and Elly, as if they could see inside their minds and knew exactly what they were thinking.

But when Jim and Elly crossed their path, the Star Ka'ats suddenly found their plans might have to change... For younger readers.

Cover art by Josh Kirby.
  • Book III of Time Traders. Travis Fox, once the unwilling captive of the runaway spaceship Galactic Derelict, has volunteered - eagerly this time - for the mission to colonise Topaz.
