  • Book III of Worlds Of Tiers. It was a world of tiers and layers - the Amerind level, the Garden of Eden level, the Talanac, the Atlantean - a universe of green skies and fabled beasts.  It was the playground cosmos of Lord Jadawin, with trans-gravitational gates to the other worlds and levels. But now those gates are being sabotaged to permit the entry of an invading force of 'Bellers' - human bodies housing the transferred minds of rebel Lords and their minions, who were seeking two things - total domination of every Lord's private cosmos, now that they had achieved immortality, and the life of Kickaha the Trickster, who knew too much. Cover art by Peter Goodfellow.

  • Book IV of World Of Tiers.  Behind the walls of Terra lay a secret no man could be allowed to learn. But Kickaha - the Earth-born adventurer of the tiered worlds - had to uncover that secret or watch his home world destroyed. Kickaha was returning to Earth from the World of Tiers, the many-levelled universe of the god-like Lords, that he had entered many years ago as Paul Janus Finnegan. Now he had returned to a world he no longer knew, to find it ruled by Red Orc, a Lord jealous of his personal domain and hostile to intruders. Yet Kickaha had to stay alive in order to defeat the deadly enemy that threatened Earth and the other worlds of tiers  - the 'Beller', the malignant creature that was the mind-essence of a rebel Lord.

  • Book III of Khokarsa. Fabulous Opar, whose ruins and primitive priestesses were memorable features of the Tarzan stories, was the birth-place of the warrior-hero Hadon, twelve thousand years ago, when the great inland seas made Central Africa and land of mighty cities and high civilisations. Hadon was the rightful claimant to the throne of that long-forgotten empire, but his was no easy route to power. Instead he had become the hunted prey of a tyrant's armies, accursed by the tyrant's gods and fighting for his very life.  Cover art by Roy Krenkel.
  • Book V of Riverworld. Thirty-five billion people from throughout Earth's history were resurrected along the great and winding waterways of Riverworld. Most began life anew - accepting without question the sustenance provided by their mysterious benefactors. But a rebellious handful burned to confront the unseen masters who controlled their fate--and these few launched an invasion that would ultimately yield the mind-boggling truth. Now Riverworld's omnipotent leaders have been confronted, and the renegades of Riverworld--led by the intrepid Sir Richard Francis Burton--control the fantastic mechanism that once ruled them. But the most awesome challenge lies ahead. For in the vast corridors and secret rooms of the tower stronghold, an unknown enemy watches and waits to usurp the usurpers...Cover art by Richard Clifton-Dey.
  • Book II of Khokarsa. Opar - the Atlantean colony in the heart of Tarzan's Africa; in the words of Edgar Rice Burroughs, a hidden city of  'gold and silver, ivory and apes, and peacocks.' And -  the starting point of this story,  twelve thousand years ago, when Africa had in inland sea and a high civilization bloomed along its forgotten shores, when lost empires flew their time-vanished banners, and deeds of daring were commonplace. Hadon, son of ancient Opar, whose claim of the throne launches him on a dangerous adventure. Cover art by Julek Heller. https://cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au/p/flight-opar-philip-jose-farmer/
  • Death will come to me as to every man. But until that moment I will live as if I were the strongest of all living things... Book II of The Secrets Of The Nine: He is James Cloamby, Viscount Grandrith. The one and only. The white monkey of the jungle. Slayer of wild beasts and righter of wrongs. Last of the wild men. Lord of the trees. Pristine spirit of darkest Africa. Member of the House of Lords and one of the wealthiest men on the planet. Thirty thousand years ago, some Stone Age people discovered the elixir of life. Unless they met with disaster, they lived for centuries. Going back to his roots in the Gabon, the Lord of the Trees is rudely intercepted. A 1200-foot plunge into shark-infested seas and a bloody rendezvous with jungle mercenaries gives him a taste for adventure again - which is just as well. For the Lord of the Trees has fallen into the grip of the Nine, grim and ancient rulers who control the world from distant mansions...Cover art by Les Edwards.
