Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condición: Very Good: Light signs of wear. 1988 Edition. © 1987: 1st in the 'Heorot' series of books. 1st printing of 1988 paperback edition:- Synopsis: Leaving overloaded Earth, they found a second paradise. Civilization on Earth was rich, comfortable - and overcrowded. Millions applied for the voyage but only the best were chosen to settle on Tau Ceti Four. The Colony was a success. The silver rivers and golden fields of Camelot overflowed with food and sport nurtured by the colonists' eco-sensitive hands. It was an idyll, the stuff of dreams. Just one man, Cadmann Weyland, insisted on perimeter defences: electric fence, minefield, barbed wire. Against what? Surely humans are the most destructive creatures in the universe? Surely the planet is friendly? Surely it's safe to walk in the fields after dark? And beyond the perimeter the nightmare began to chatter:- Review(s): "A version of 'Aliens' by writers who know the difference between Hollywood science fiction and the Real Stuff" - Time Out / "Outstanding! The best ever, by the best in the field. The ultimate combination of imagination and realism" - Tom Clancy:- (original cost £3.50). Cover Art: Chris Moore (ilustrador). …

The daring theft of a magnificent necklace - invested, it is said, with a potency that will make the woman who wears it irresistible to men - sets the mighty Conan off on an incredible adventure, wherein he must rescue a beautiful noble woman in peril of her soul, outwit a band of bloodthirsty assassins sworn to belief in nothingness, and finally confront the arch-priest of the evil and degrading Cult of Doom - the satanic sorcerer Jhandar whose mystical powers hold Aghrapur's wicked citizens in perpetual and terrible thrall:- (original cost £2.50).

Soft cover. Condición: Good: Moderate signs of wear. 1982 Edition. © 1980: A stand-alone novel by Gregory Benford. 4th printing of 1982 edition:- Synopsis: The year is 1998, the world is a growing nightmare of desperation, of uncontrollable pollution and increasing social unrest. In Cambridge, two scientists experiment with tachyons - subatomic particles that travel faster than the speed of light and, therefore, according to the Theory of Relativity, may move backwards in time. Their plan is to signal a warning to the previous generation, but will they decipher the messages in time?:- Review(s): "Science fiction at its very best" - Anthony Burgess / "This is great science fiction in ideas, great fiction in its response to people and work and the complexities of reality" - Guardian / "'Timescape' is by turns serious and entertaining, nostalgic and forward-looking.

A woman wants to help him - but she can inhabit the body of any woman and there is no way to tell who she is at any time:- Review(s): "Elegance, humour, literacy, vivid action and a lightly applied but complex background of tarot, alternate worlds, Olympian gods and a magic so neat and clear that computers can learn it" - Publishers Weekly:- (original cost £2.99).

Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condición: Near Fine: Small signs of wear. 1988 Edition. © 1987: A stand-alone novel by Gordon R Dickson. 1st printing of 1988 edition:- Synopsis:- "Like giants in human form, medieval and out of place, the two massive Aalaag loomed beside him." When they conquered Earth, the Aalaag crushed all trace of resistance. First they taught the subjugated millions the superiority of their weapons, then of their bodies and minds, and finally of their law. The human spirit buckled. On the surface, Shane Evert serves his new masters faithfully and well. In his heart, the spark of enraged rebellion will not die. And in a small act of defiance, he marks on the walls of Earth's cities the symbol of his own unconquerable will - a simple sketch of the elusive, humble Pilgrim. But even he could never have imagined the havoc the sign would cause. Suddenly, all over Earth, a new heart is beating, chains are broken, and the once passive are hurling themselves against an impregnable enemy at impossible odds:- (original cost £3.50).

His quest for vengeance took him across half the civilized worlds, to Cassida and Frieland, to St Marie and back to New Earth. He met men of all the splinter groups into which Mankind had evolved and he used them all to bring about his revenge - until Padma the Exotic taught him how to use his special powers. And the frightening knowledge of the Final Encyclopaedia:- (original cost £2.99). Cover Art: Uncredited (ilustrador).…

Condición: Good: Moderate signs of wear. 1973 Edition. © 1970: 1st in the 'Ringworld' series of books. 16th printing of 1973 edition:- Review(s): Tremendous acclaim for Larry Niven's brilliant award-winning epic of deep-space adventure: "'Ringworld is the best of the newest wave, the return to classical hard-science fiction of the kind popular in the Golden Age.

Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condición: Very Good: Light signs of wear. 1984 Edition. © 1982: A stand-alone novel by Roger Zelazny. 3rd printing of 1984 edition:- Synopsis: Cat might have looked more like a one-eyed boulder but that was where the resemblance ended. Cat could read thoughts as well as most human telepaths, knew how to use a teleport booth and as a shapeshifter he was in a class of his own. After being cooped up in the zoo for fifty years he was mean as well. So when they asked the old Navajo tracker Billy Singer to eliminate an alien assassin, Billy knew at once whom he ought to subcontract the job to. After all, he was the one who'd captured Cat in the first place. But Cat had his price. Sure he'd help Billy. All he wanted was to get out of the zoo. But once he'd done what was asked of him, Billy had better start running:- Review(s): "Brilliant and moving" - Vonda McIntyre / "Zelazny at his best: stylistic brilliance, subtle characterization, originality and strong mythic themes of power" - Washington Post:- (original cost £2.50).
