Аннотация
Auf der Flucht vor den Cyclan muss das Raumschiff Erce mit seiner Besatzung nach einem Notfall zunächst auf einem menschenfeindlichen Planeten notlanden, dessen tödlicher Bedrohung man nur knapp entkommen kann. Das nächstes Ziel der Mannschaft, der Planet Krantz, bringt Earl Dumarest dann aber vielleicht seinem Ziel ein Stück näher: Nachfahren eines Volkes, das auf dem Planeten wie in Sklaverei gehalten wird, scheinen die Koordinaten zu dem Planeten zu kennen, den Earl Dumarest sucht: der Erde. Aber auch der Cyber Avro kommt seinem Ziel näher und ist Earl Dumarest dicht auf der Spur.
Аннотация
As a young boy Atilus Cindras had been taken from Britain to Rome as a slave, and trained in the gruesome arts of the gladiators. Fueled by his hatred for Rome, he'd risen to the top of his killing trade with his fierce and deadly skill, and won the coveted Rudis, the wooden sword that gave him his freedom. But he wants more from Rome than this, and gambles all of his money on a commercial venture that fails. Now deeply in debt, he's pulled into a partnership with wealthy patricians who want to use his knowledge as a lanista–a manager of gladiators–to make them all rich. When one of his backers betrays him, and when Rome erupts in fire in the summer heat, Atilus must use every skill, every bit of knowledge, to save himself and his new British wife from the all-engulfing flames, and then somehow find a way to return to his native land. The stunning, action-filled conclusion to the Atilus Trilogy!
Аннотация
From the cold, misty shores of Britain, which the Emperor Claudius had invaded, Atilus Cindras was taken as a boy slave to work and fight for the greater glory of the Roman Empire. Eventually, he was sent to a gladiator school, and there trained to fight–and perhaps die–in the arena. But Atilus survives the years of decadent slaughter, and gradually gains power and riches as he navigates through the steamy politics of ancient Rome under the Emperor Nero. But Nero is a spoiled, selfish ruler who is forever seeking the favor of the Roman masses. And when he decides to appease the people's lust for something new and original in the ring, he picks Atilus to train the first troupe of female gladiators. Little does Atilus know, however, that he's being played, both by the Emperor and by his cronies–just a little joke: a second troupe of female fighters to be pitted against the twenty women that Atilus is managing. And if Atilus loses, he'll be made a slave once more! The second novel in the Atilus Saga features more rousing action and political intrigue by a master storyteller!

Аннотация
In the far future, humanity has split into two groups: Folk and People. The Folk man the star ships, spending their entire lives in space. The People dwell on planets, only using the ships for travel between the worlds. A freak accident in No-Space causes a ship to drop out of faster-than-light mode into normal space, to be stranded between the stars. The Captain is able to jury-rig the damaged engines, but only to shift half of the ship’s mass back into No-Space to continue the journey. After throwing out all nonessential structures, cargo, and fitments, both passengers and crew alike come to realize more mass–some of the humans themselves–must be ejected into space so that the rest may survive. But how to chose who lives or dies? And then a murderer strikes.... A chilling psychological tale of crime and passion.
Аннотация
Three days after asking the Captain of the Earth mothership to land his party of colonists on the planet Hyperon, Commander Williams has reason to worry. He's assumed that there'll be records left by the 500 original settlers that'll tell him what's happened to the men and women who were dropped here a decade ago. But there ARE no records–none that make any sense–and the colonists have just vanished, abandoning homes, equipment, and personal belongings. Is the planet inimical to human life? The climate's ideal, there's no animal life to threaten the settlers, and the local vegetation produces edible fruit year-round. But if this world is such a paradise…where are the people? Another great SF adventure by an entertaining storyteller!
