Here is an edge-of-the-seat story of the man who discovers that the vanguard of the aliens are indeed amongst us - and that the human species has but a few hours left before our time runs out.

2	1976		Interstellar Empire Interstellar Empire Cover Blurb	John Brunner
		JOHN BRUNNER "Interstellar Empire deals with a power play on a planet that was formerly part of the now-crumbling and decadent Empire. Three brothers struggle to regain the power usurped by a strange cult... "The most interesting thing about this book is Brunner's ability to create, with a few strokes of his typewriter, a new galactic empire, and characters to play on the stage of a crumbling imperial bureaucracy. The characterizations are impressibly vivid... "The panoramic view of the empire from the standpoints of the planets Annanworld, Delcadore, and Asconel, presents an interesting interpretation of human motivations and human nature. "John Brunner has succeeded once again in creating an excellent novel in the science fiction mode, re-establishing his well-deserved reknown and fame. By all means, read this book. It's bound to become a part of the 'Best of Brunner'" - Drexel Triangle - A DAW BOOKS ORIGINAL - FROM DAW THE PRODUCTIONS OF TIME by John Brunner UVV1329 - $1.50 THE STORM LORD by Tanith Lee UO361 - $1.95 GATE OF IVREL by C.

3	1963		Polymath Zarathustra Refugee Planets #2 Cover Blurb	John Brunner
		NAMELESS NEW WORLD Colonizing a new planet requires much more than just settling on a newly discovered island of Old Earth. New planets were different in thousands of ways, different from Earth and from each other. Any of those differences could mean death and disaster to a human settlement. When a ship filled with refugees from a cosmic catastrophe crash-landed on such an unmapped world, their outlook was precarious. Their ship was lost, salvage had been minor, and everything came to depend on one bright young man accidentally among them. He was a trainee planet-builder. It would have been his job to foresee all the problems necessary to set up a safe home for humanity. But the problem was that he was a mere student - and he had been studying the wrong planet. - A DAW BOOK ORIGINAL - NEVER BEFORE IN PAPERBACK

		The Shockwave Rider A SIENCE FICTION BOOK CLUB SELECTION "When John Brunner first told me of his intention to write this book, I was fascinated - but I wondered whether he, or anyone, could bring it off. Bring it off he has - with cool brilliance. A hero with transient personalities, animals with souls, think tanks and survival communities fuse to form a future so plausibly alive it has twitched at me ever since." - Alvin Toffler Author of Future Shock He Was The Most Dangerous Fugitive Alive, But He Didn't Exist! Nickie Haflinger had lived a score of lifetimes... but technically he didn't exist. He was a fugitive from Tarnover, the high-powered government think tank that had educated him. First he had broken his identity code - then he escaped. Now he had to find a way to restore sanity and personal freedom to the computerized masses and to save a world tottering on the brink of disaster. He didn't care how he did it... but the government did. That's when his Tarnover teachers got him back in their labs... and Nickie Haflinger was set up for a whole new education!

		NEW PLANETS FOR OLD The galaxy was caught in the crushing vice of a struggle for power. The political titans of the planets of mankind were making their bids for supremacy. The contestants: Counce, man of strange powers, authority in spheres of the intellect; and Bassett; man of money-power, financial and business wizard. As the association of human worlds drew near the teetering edge of internal revolutions, one of these men would be in a position to triumph. The only thing that neither side could foresee is that there were others hovering among the stars, looking for new worlds to conquer!
