Omnivore: Piers Anthony
$5.00Book I of Of Man And Manta. Herbivore: one who eats only vegetables; carnivore: one who lives by bloody and flesh; and omnivore: who feeds on all things to sustain life. And so there were three; all human, all held together in an indeterminate love triangle: the man of brawn, the cripple and the woman. They were scientists on a troubleshooting expedition to the planet Nacre, the silent, dusky planet of multiform mushrooms and spore-clouds, where eighteen had died or disappeared before them. They were there to explore, discover, record - not really afraid, but then... not really prepared for the awesome secret of Nacre's mystical third kingdom of fungi. Cover art by Peter Jones. -

They are joined by a most unlikely companion: Burgess, a tentacled Bug-Eyed Monster who will be their Anchor in the new world. More usually found as a fossil, here Burgess is alive to his tentacle-tips and soon has a place in the company of friends as they travel through the now-fragmented Modes and is a guard against the evil grip of the mind-predator that pursues Colene. But the predator is full of tricks and Hlahatar lies beyond the terrifying Chaos Mode...Cover art by Steve Crisp. -

Book VI of Apprentice Adept. All seems lost for the powers of good in the worlds of Phaze and Proton. Bane and Mach have been forced to co-operate with the evil Adverse Adepts who now have access to the Book of Magic and the Oracle and are gaining power by the minute. But Stile and the Blue Adept still hold the trump card - the secret powers of their grandchildren Flach and Nepe, who like their fathers Bane and Mach are able to communicate at will across the frames. One by one, the good Adepts fall into the power of the enemy until a contest is arranged between the forces of good and evil simultaneously on both frames - the prizes will be the Book of Magic and the Oracle, the keys to the balance of power in the two frames, and if the Adverse Adepts win, they will use them for their own selfish ends and impose a cruel dictatorship on both animals and humans.

His dragon son Horace is in love with another dragon, Ember, equally telepathic. And although his daughter Merlain doesn't know it yet, her true love, whose name is Glint, is just about to come into her life - unless Zady gets to him first. The stakes are high. The last battle is on.
