  • Book IX of the Elric Saga.  Elric returns on the wings of a dragon to the ruined place of his birth, the Dreaming City.

  • 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. Now there are only fifteen of them - the rest blown to extinction by the ruthless attacks of the D-squads. Even the surviving plants are doomed to a cruel, mutilated existence. 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.
  • Book IV of The History of the Runestaff. As it is written: Those who swear by the Runestaff must then benefit or suffer from the consequences of the fixed pattern of destiny that they set in motion. Baron Meliadus of Kroiden had sworn such an oath, had sworn an oath of vengeance against all of Castle Brass, had sworn that Yisselda, daughter of Count Brass would be his, for he had fixed the pattern of fate...Cover art by Bob Haberfield.
  • Book III of The Adventures of Oswald Bastable. Chrononaut Bastable, Member of the League of Temporal Adventurers, has crossed and re-crossed many different time streams. On this occasion, he is travelling backwards in time from a shell-shocked Singapore to a Tsarist Empire seething with conflict and preyed on by motley bands of rogues and adventurers. Here he meets up with Miss Una Persson, and together they change the course of a history whose mythical deeds go beyond the boundaries of everyday imagination and glitter in the exuberant land of the eternal present. Cover art by Paul Damon.
  • Book III of The History of the Runestaff. In Earth's dim future the Dark Empire had grown more powerful - so powerful that it threatened to destroy even the well-protected province of Kamarg. Only the ancient crystal machine of the wraith folk could save Karmag's people by warping them into another dimension. And so, they found sanctuary. But Dorian Hawkmoon knew that sanctuary was an illusion - and suffocatingly dull! He knew his destiny was still ruled by the Runestaff - but while he strove to discover where in time and space he was, King Huon's scientists perfected deadlier war machines. The armies of the Dark Empire spread further and faster across the globe, staining the map with blood...Cover art by Bob Haberfield.
  • Book IV of The Elric Saga. Elric of Melniboné, kinslayer and last lord of a dying race, comes in search of the evil sorcerer Theleb K'aarna and arrives in Lormyr, the oldest of the Young Kingdoms. His former foe Myshella, Empress of the Dawn, awaits the doom-driven albino in Castle Kaneloon, offering a pact against the Pan Tangian sorcerer. But although Elric bears and destiny greater than he knows and controls the mighty runesword Stormbringer, his pursuit of vengeance drives him to look despair in the face.

  • Book III of Second Ether. Rose von Bek travels many of London's byways, glimpsing many lives and and many worlds. At times she meets with knights of the road Dick Turpin and Colonel Jack, a man better known to his mukhamirim fellows as plain Sam Oakenhurst. Othertimes with Prince Lobkowitz or her mother Nellie in Begg Mansions, Sporting Club Square. But London is only one of many such scales of existence awaiting the adventurous Rose. One of them, perhaps Las Cascadas - pinned 'twixt  brisk Atlantic and seductive Mediterranean - or Lost Pines Ranch, Texas, home to her eccentric uncle, will surely bring her back to the nefarious Captain Horatio Quelch, pirate of the Singularity, enemy of her kind...Ultimately, the great war between Law and Chaos, which some will call the War in Heaven, spills over into all realms of existence and the final battle is fought to determine the Nature of Reality itself. Cover: St Georges et Dragon by Gustave Moreau.

  • Book I of The Adventures of Oswald Bastable. Suppose that a few of our present inventions had been made earlier and others not discovered at all? How would the last century have evolved differently?  Based on long-missing documents, this is the story of Oswald Bastable, a Victorian captain who found himself in an alternate future - 1973 (from Bastable's point of view, of course) and the airship rules supreme - a future thathas little relationship to his earth or his time. Cover art by Patrick Woodroffe.

  • Book II of The Roads Between Worlds. The Fireclown, a painted demon, a fat messiah, ever-masked, leading hysterical subterranean riots, inciting the people to tear down and revolt. For his own deadly power? Or for galactic salvation? A grotesque political charlatan - or the only voice of sanity left on Earth? No-one knew but everyone was frightened and there were those who were prepared to exploit that fear. Earth, with its savage class structure, was dying. Complacently rushing toward a holocaust, corrupt and weakened by an impotent administration, Earth trembled before the threat of solar war. Only Alan Powys and Helen Curtis saw sense in the Fireclown's vision. But by then, he had vanished - and the greatest space chase in history was on. Cover art by Bob Haberfield.
