Gloriana rules an Albion whose empire embraces America and most of Asia. A new Golden Age of peace, enlightenment and prosperity has dawned, in dazzling contrast with the brutal austerity Albion endured under the iron hand of Gloriana's father, King Hern. Gloriana is Albion, and Albion is Gloriana; if one falls, so will the other. Much depends on Montfallcon, Gloriana's Chancellor, and his network of spies and assassins - in particular cold-hearted Captain Quire, seducer of virtue and murderer of innocence. When the two quarrel and Arabia conceives a plan to ruin Gloriana, a huge intrigue is hatched, threatening to destroy Albion, the Empire and the Golden Age, in a love affair between the Queen of Virtue and the King of Vice. Cover art, detail from Sappho by Gustave Moreau (1893) -
This omnibus volume contains: An Alien Heat: Enter a decaying far, far future society, a time when anything and everything is possible, where words like 'conscience' and 'morality' are meaningless, and where heartfelt love blossoms mysteriously between Mrs Amelia Underwood, an unwilling time traveler, and Jherek Carnelian, a bemused denizen of the End of Time. The Hollow Lands: Jherek Carnelian, one of the small population of hedonistic immortals remaining on earth at the end of time, is still obsessively in love with Mrs. Amelia Underwood, a reluctant time-traveler from Victorian England. After narrowly escaping death in nineteenth-century London, Jherek again is separated from his love by several millenniums. And so he begins a new, headlong campaign - seesawing through space and time regardless of risk or consequence - to reunite himself with Mrs. Underwood. The End Of All Songs: For the hedonistic immortals who dwell at the End of Time, the return of Jherek Carnelian with Mrs. Amelia Underwood - a reluctant time-traveler from Victorian England - is cause for jubilant celebration. Led by Jherek's mother, the Iron Orchid, the immortals set off on a mad spree of spectacular festivities. And in no time at all, Amelia, with her radiant beauty and quaintly platonic way of looking at things (especially Jherek), becomes the toast of the End of Time. But as the pandemonium progresses, some delicious and long-held mysteries are revealed and some distressing omens appear on the horizon. Due to circumstances beyond their control, immortality - at least as far as the immortals know it - will never be the same again. Cover art by Rodney Matthews. -
It is nearly three decades since the discovery of the sub-spacial alternates - twenty-four lumps of matter hanging in a limbo outside space and time, each sharing the name of Earth.

Professor Faustaff's life is dedicated to fighting the merciless demolition teams, trying to correct the Unstable Natter Situations they create. But he feels it is a battle he cannot win. -

When he boarded the mysterious vessel, he learnt from his shadowy captain that he was to serve a strange quest side by side with other heroes from other times.

In the towering City of Switzerland, after a century of peace, political power was deadlocked between the Solar Referendum Party and the Radical Liberal Movement. Until the laughing Fireclown arrived. His jovial personality, grotesque appearance and powerful speeches in favour of a return to Nature: all these excited the masses- and struck fear into the ruling elite. Was the Fireclown merely a romantic anachronism, a potential vote catcher, an issue with which to distract the populace from Earth's real problems? Or was he a genuine threat to humanity's future? Only Alan Powys and Helen Curtis tried to understand what the Fireclown was really saying...Cover art by George Underwood.
