"200,000,000 YEARS A.D. 

The old continents of Earth have long since disappeared. The population is now ruled by temple princes and princesses, who in turn are dominated by more-than-human beings with the powers of gods. Vast armies stand ready to deal with any rebellion. 

Into this explosive situation comes Ptath, the greatest god of the all, believed lost for aeons. The goddess Ineznia, his deadly rival, has had him reincarnated in merely mortal form. So will Ptath, with only the limited strengths of a mere man, win his furious contest with Ineznia? Or is he secretly still the the most powerful force in all the worlds of time?"

NULL-A THREE

Bruce Pennington.

"WORLDS IN CRISIS 

Whoever it was that the Dzan had discovered in a space capsule floating perilously close to their battle fleet, it was certainly no ordinary mortal. 

It wasn't just that this Gosseyn - as he called himself - had apparently come from another galaxy. Nor that he'd been awoken from an ages-long state of suspended animation by their sudden intervention. 

What troubled the Dzan most was that Gosseyn was - by his own admission - the reincarnation of another human being, one who not only seemed to share the same brain as Gosseyn, but was clearly still very much alive. Once they'd accepted the existence of Gosseyn and his alter ego, they realised that here somehow might be the weapon they needed in their struggle with the alien Troogs - or the cause of their own imminent destruction..."

RENAISSANCE

NEL paperback, October 1980. Illustration: Gerald Grace.

"In a future world women are the dominant sex and men wear chemically treated spectacles to keep them in line.

Yet every moment he is being monitored by underground revolutionaries who need his powers for the overthrow of their extra-planetary masters..."

THE BATTLE OF FOREVER

NEL paperback, April 1980. Illustration: Gerald Grace.

"THE HOPE OF MAN... 

A mighty space cruiser coasts through the dreadful emptiness of space on its voyage of human survival. Multimillionaire Averill Hewitt built her, crewed her with handpicked men and women, and had her launched on a one-way trip to the planets clustered around Centaurus. But he had not counted on radical changes developing in the social hierarchy on board - on mutiny and revolution, on space madness - nor on the astounding scientific advances made in that awful isolation..."

THE PAWNS OF NULL-A

Sphere paperback, 1974 reprint. Cover painting by
Bruce Pennington.

"What was the follower? 

Gosseyn knew the creature threatened to destroy whole solar systems but not even his Null-A trained double brain could thwart the Follower's plans. Then he found himself face to face with a force that lay at the very roots of human intelligence.... 

And fighting an insane mind that had once controlled his body."

MORE THAN SUPERHUMAN

COSMIC ENCOUNTER

NEL paperback, 1981. Illustration: Gerry Grace.

"Time had collapsed. For a brief instant, like the sudden reopening of a disused mineshaft forty million years deep. The strata of millennia upon millennia had compressed, bearing their fossils of the future, impacted and pressed down irresistibly on one spot. AD 1704. The ship Orinda, outward bound on piracy, dipped through the Caribbean swell. Intent only on its murderous rendezvous with a fat ripe merchantman, it noticed nothing. Never saw the man from the future who climbed aboard. Only saw too late the alien bulk of the Lantellan battlecraft that loomed and filled the eastern horizon. Could not know that the Lantella was at war and would live in a universe of total hostility. But, uncomprehending and terrified, did see the boarding craft that was skimming towards them..."
