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."

INVADERS OF SPACE

Tandem SF paperback, 1968. Cover artist uncredited.

"Things were quiet that night in the space port. Then the 'Theban' arrived without warning, bringing with it a surly crew, led by a blustering captain, Larson... 

The 'Theban' was old, propelled by a totally obsolescent interplanetary drive. The only way Larson could get it off the ground was to kidnap the young engineer, Horn, who he hoped could at least manage to keep the ship in flight until it reached its final rendezvous. 

Their destination was the spaceship 'Danae' - a ship loaded with millions in space credit notes. If horn wanted to save the 'Danae' from the onslaughts of the Space Invaders, he had his work cut out for him..."

ANYTHING YOU CAN DO...

Lancer paperback, 1969. Artwork by Bill Skurski

"Aliens aren't Human! 

No matter what the shape of an alien body or how great the intelligence of an alien brain, a creature born under another star and reared on another planet is not a man. He (or it) will not think, feel or react as a human would in the same circumstances - which doesn't mean that aliens cannot be thinking, feeling, or reacting creatures. When one Nipe is shipwrecked on earth, the entire race of man finds itself in a ten-year battle against a different mind - a battle to gain ten million years of alien knowledge - a battle to win the stars!"

MAN OF TWO WORLDS

Pyramid paperback, 1963. Cover painting by John Schoenherr.

"CALL ME KETAN! 

Like all my companions in Kronweld I emerged full-grown from the temple of birth. My needs, my wishes, my passions were coldly filed in the perforated transparencies that constitute the integrated will of Kronweld.

But I alone harbor curiosity about our past. I alone know the Bors of dark land and how they are born. I alone have discovered the hidden secret of our birth...And have heard the groaning fertility prisoners of the other world. Here is their message: 

"if any of you live, come through to us. Save us. Bring weapons!" 

I am going to them now, I do not know whether I will ever return from the great edge..."

"Disease-ridden, overpopulated; robots and prison-gangs tending the bare, poison-drenched countryside; the people near starvation. This is the world Knowie Noland, ex-convict, ex-traveller, and captain of the tramp freighter trieste star knows and accepts - because there is nothing better to hope for. 

To the beautiful girl named Justine it is a degrading and inhuman condition which can be overcome by global war - a war she wants knowie to start. 

Knowie has always believed that war was a futile and senseless answer to man's problems. But under Justine's persuasive logic he begins to hope that a shot he can fire will lead to the ultimate death of millions and be the start of a better world for the survivors."
