  • Endless voyage...that's an old saying in the Explorers. But for every Explorer there is, somewhere, a planet he will not leave. For some, the cause is love. For others, the desire to give up the strange roving life of the star wanderers who live outside of planet-time. Even for the ones who love the metal ships that are their only home there is still a planet waiting, a planet that will hold them forever - in the final clasp of death. But until then, life is adventure and wonders undreamed of by mere planet dwellers, an Endless Universe of the unknown.  Cover art by Lombardo.  Later re-written and published as Endless Universe.
  • She had rejected her noble birthright and embraced the freedom only a man could claim. She was Romilly, who spurned humanity for its evils and jealousies and lived among the birds and the beasts of the forests. There was war in the lands of Darkover - but Romilly wanted none of it. Yet, dressed as a man or mindful of the creatures, she was also human. And duty to her own kind pointed her to the ultimate decision. Cover art by Bruce Pennington.
  • Zadieyek of Gyre - a dangerous fighter, a star gladiator who is greatly feared - has been captured and sold as a slave. Suffering from amnesia, she remembers nothing of her life before the trip across the desert with the slavers - and, due to a head injury, remembers mercifully little of that. But she does know that she would rather fight in the arena than be a harlot for the men who do...Cover art by Peter Jones. N.B. This is NOT a typical MZB - legend tells that she wrote it as a result of a bet with her son and in response to the Gor novels.
