"Nobody Beats Bar Holliday 

He was paid to find terraformable worlds, new planets for his corporation to plunder. Up until the day he came upon the Peace Victory, an abandoned generation ship hovering ominously above a definitely habitable planet, he believed nobody ever could.  

Nobody Beats Bar Holliday 

...because he was never satisfied with anything lower than first place, because he was always the oddball, in charge of his own welfare, his own destiny...A man determined to make his mark in the world and win all games at any cost. 

Nobody Ever Beats Bar Holliday 

...because he only took the wrong chances at the right times. But on the planet Patmos, where everything looked safe, but nothing was, Bar Holliday had at last met his match!"

THE CITY

"In the aftermath of mankind's final war the few survivors scratch an existence from the ruins. This is no brave new world. From the shattered fragments of a once great civilization crawl the Rats - to claim the domain as their own. The city and its pitiful human inhabitants finally belong to them. The people have become prey, the hunters the hunted. But now the traveller has arrived and he is no victim. In search of his past, he has come to take back the dream of life as it was before. But in the city the only dreams left are nightmares."
