BOOK TWO IN THE CLASSIC HEOROT SERIES FROM GENRE LEGENDS LARRY NIVEN, JERRY POURNELLE, AND STEVEN BARNES.

Some twenty years have passed since the passengers and crew of the starship Geographic established a colony on the hostile alien world of Avalon. In that time, a new generation has grown up in the peace and serenity of the island paradise of Camelot, ignorant of the Great Grendel Wars fought between their parents and grandparents and the monstrous inhabitants of Avalon.

Now, under the influence of a charismatic leader, a group of young rebels makes for the mainland, intent on establishing their own colony, sure that they can vanquish any foe that should stand in their way.

But they will soon discover that Avalon holds darker secrets still.

2730 A.D., planet Destiny

Wide and smooth, the Road was seared into planet Destiny's rocky surface by the fusion drive of the powered landing craft, Cavorite. The Cavorite deserted the original interstellar colonists, stranding them without hope of contacting Earth.

Now, descendants of those pioneers have many questions about the Road, but no settler who has gone down it has ever returned. For Jemmy Bloocher, a young farm boy, the questions burn too hot - and he sets out to uncover the many mysteries of Destiny's Road.

"Jemmy is a believable and sympathetic character, the pacing is flawless, the science is rock-solid, and my disbelief was so suspended it could have been on Neptune." - The San Diego Union-Tribune

"Niven has always been good at giving his worlds texture, but the high-tech high-jinks of Known Space tend to obscure that part of his art.  Here, with the space operatics turned way down, the hear that, by god, the man really can sing." - Locus

LARRY NIVEN
Hugo and Nebula Award-winning creator of Known Space, home to Gil Hamilton, Beowulf Shaeffer... and the classic Ringworld!

---

Gill "The Arm" Hamilton was one of the top operatives of ARM, the elite UN police force.  His intuition was unfailingly accurate; his detective skills were second to none; and his psychic powers - esper sense and telekinesis - were awesone.

Tough and deadly, Gil Hamilton could reach right into a person's brain for the truth... or for the kill!

Read all the stories of the legendary ARM operative, collected here in one volume for the vrey first time:

• Organleggers aren't stopping at robbing body parts from the corpses of the frozen dead.  Now they're stealing from the living... and Gill is a prime target!
• The most beautiful woman on Luna has been falsly accused or murder.  Unless Gil can prove her innocence, she's doomed to end up as a sack of spare parts in the organ banks...
• And more... Plus an all-new, never-before-published Gil Hamilton adventure!

THESE
ARE THE
STORIES
SVETZ...
And his mad adventures with horses, unicorns, ostriches, rocs, and other unlikely fauna, both extinct and as yet unborn, and of the extrabrdinary difficulties into which a simple, humdrum time-.trayeller can get when his Department supplies him with inadequate information.  But then, the Civil Service has ever been notorious for truly staggering foul-ups.  Several hundred centuries ahead or behind makes little difference except to complicate matters even further...

AND HERE THERE BE (ALSO) WARLOCKS, WEREWOLVES and divine witchery.

Proving that LARRY NIVEN can write on both sides of the science fiction fence.

Shoogar was absolutely livid - a natural state for any self-respecting witch doctor.

But this time he had a reason.  His territory had been invaded by a completely insane shaman who hadn't had the grace to announce himself and didn't even appear to know the common ground rules of the magicians' guild - in fact, the idiot was practicing witchcraft (incompetently, no doubt, but nevertheless practicing it), without having first made his gift to the local witch doctor.

In an absolute fury, Shoogar prepared various ghastly spells - and the villagers trembled...

Eighteen years in the making - here at last is the sequel to one of the most acclaimed science fiction novels of our time, THE MOTE IN GOD'S EYE.

Robert Heinlein called it "possibly the finest science fiction novel I have ever read."  The San Francisco Chronicle declared that "as science fiction, The Mote in God's Eye is one of the most important novels ever published."  Now Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, award-winning authors of such bestsellers as Footfall and The Legacy of Heorot return us to the Mote, and to the universe of Kevin Renner and Horace Bury, of Rod Blaine and Sally Fowler.

There, twenty-five years have passed since humanity quarantined the mysterious aliens known as Moties within the confines of their own solar system.  They have spent a quarter century analyzing and agonizing over the deadly threat posed by the only aliens mankind has ever encountered - a race divided into distinct biological forms, each serving a different function.  Master.  Mediator.  Engineer.  Warrior.  Each supremely adapted to its task, yet doomed by millions of years of evolution to an inescapable fate.  For the Moties must breed - or die.

And now the fragile wall separating them and the galaxy beyond is beginning to crumble.

THE PERFECT CRIME

The invention of displacement booths produced one hell of a crime wave.  If a man in, say, Hawaii could commit murder in, say, Chicago and be back in the time it would take him to visit the men's room, he would have a perfect alibi.  And the police would have a problem.

But that's only one of the problems found in Larry Niven's universe.  In this collection of stories all about teleportation, deep space, black holes, artificial worlds and Louis Wu - our old friend from the "Known Space" cycle - Larry Niven once again proves he's a master builder of fantastic worlds!

"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!" -Locus

INTRODUCING THE NEWEST WONDER
OF THE UNIVERSE

In any list of ten great science-fiction writers, four names are always at or near the top: Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert A. Heinlein - and Larry Niven, famed for his breadth of vision and the awesome extrapolation of his hard-science novels.

Critics long thought Niven would find it difficult to surpass his Hugo-winning novel Ringworld - the story of an artificial world, a ribbon of unreasonably strong material 1 million miles wide and 600 million miles long...
They were right.

Until now, that is.

In The Integral Trees Niven presents a fully fleshed culture of evolved humans who live without real gravity in the gas torus that rotates about a neutron star.

This is the novel his fans have been awaiting!

THE LUCKY ONES WENT FIRST...

The gigantic comet had slammed into Earth, forging earthquakes a thousand times too powerful to measure on the Richter scale, tidal waves thousands of feet high. Cities were turned into oceans; oceans turned into steam. It was the beginning of a new Ice Age and the end of civilization.

But for the terrified men and women chance had saved, it was also the dawn of a new struggle for survival--a struggle more dangerous and challenging than any they had ever known....

"The first satisfying end-of-the-world novel in years... and ultimate one.... masively entertaining."
CLEVELAND PLAIN-DWELLER

"Take your earthquakes, waterlogged condominiums, swarms of bugs, colliding airplanes and flaming what-nots, wrap them up and they wouldn't match one page of Lucifer's Hammer for sweaty-palmed suspense."

THE MAGIC
GOES AWAY

ONCE THERE WAS MAGIC IN THE WORLD...
But hordes of selfish, short-sighted magicians have used up the mana that moved the world, and the magic goes away.  Even the most powerful spells are fast becomming futile, and so Orolandes, sad Achaean with half a sword, goes on a quest in search of the lost power.

But all the gods and Fait Atlantis are dead.  The creatures of spirit, the unicorns and centaurs, are dying.  Soon all the sparkling things will be gone from the world and only clay will remain - and those damned stupid barbarians with their damned stupid swords will win after all...

"LARRY NIVEN WRITES THE BEST AND MOST CONSISTENT FANTASIES SINCE LEWIS CARROLL. OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT UNPREJUDICED, BUT DAMN IT, HE'S JUST INCREDIBLY GOOD.  AND THE MAGIC GOES AWAY IS HIS BEST FANTASY YET.  READ IT!" - JERRY POURNELLE co-author of LUCIFER'S HAMMER

ONCE THERE WAS MAGIC
IN THE WORLD....

Unlimited magic, enough magic for every wizard's son who ever wished to cast a spell. But the "mana," the power that makes the magic and fuels the spells, is drying up, a natural resource wasted by centuries of careless and short-sighted magicians.

In The Magic Goes Away master fantasist Larry Niven chronicled the end of an age, and the beginning of a new world where steel and muscle rule.  In this eagerly awaited sequel, Larry Niven has invited Poul Anderson, Steve Barnes, Mildred Downey Broxon, and Dean Ing into his world to tap the hidden reserves of mana and uncover the forgotten places of power.  All is not lost.  The magic may return.

THE MAGIC MAY
RETURN

A black hole in space.  And piercing through, a beam of ruby light brighter than a hundred moons.  Was it the eye on the face of God, or the blood red-sun of our first intergalactic visitors?

"Possibly the finest science fiction novel I have ever read."
- Robert Heinlein

"One of the most engrossing tales I've read in years."
- Theodore Sturgeon

ONLY ONE PERSON COULD
HAVE BEEN ON THE LUNAR SURFACE...

Her name is Naomi Mitchison.  She's the most beautiful woman on the Moon; she was also the only person who was outside on the lunar surface at the right moment to send a near-fatal laser beam into the chest of the Fourth Speaker for the Asteroids.  But she's not a murderer - that much ARM investigator Gil "the Arm" Hamilton is sure of, even though all the evidence seems to point staight at her.  Trials these days are short and sentencing for captial crimes is always the same: the organ banks, where felons wait in huge tanks to repay society with bits and pieces of their bodies.  Gil has got to move fast to keep Naomi in one piece or the most beautiful woman on Luna is going to be a nicely arranged sack of space parts.

With the aid of over fifty superb interior illustrations by Fernando, match wits with the sharpest mind in science fiction in a classic Locked Universe mystery!

Phssthpok the Pak has been travelling for most of his 32,000 years - his mission, to save, develop and protect the group of Pak breeders sent out into space some 2 1/2 million years before...

Brennan was a Belter, the product of a fiercely independent, somewhat anarchic society living in, on, and around the outer asteroid belt.  The Belters were rebels, one and all, and Brennan was a smuggler.  The Belt worlds has been tracking the Pak ship for days - Brennan figured to meet that ship first...

He was never seen again - at least not by those alive at the time.

AFTER THE FALL

In the free-fall environment of the Smoke Ring, the descendants of the crew of the Discipline no longer remembered their Earth roots - or the existence of Sharls Davis Kendy, the computer-program despot of the ship.  Until Kendy initiated contact once more.

Fourteen years later, only Jeffer, the Citizens Tree Scientist, knew that Kendy was still watching - and waiting.  Then the Citizens Tree people rescued a family of loggers and learned for the first time of the Admiralty, a large society living in free fall amid the floating debris called the Clump.  And it was likely that the Admiralty had maintained, intact, Discipline's original computer library.

Exploration was a temptation neither Jeffer nor Kendy could resist, and neither Citizens Tree nor Sharls Davis Kendy would ever be the same again...

FIRST TIME IN PAPERBACK

GET OUT OF MY MIND!

Nothing quite prepared telepath Larry Greenberg for mind-to-mind contact with an alien.

In the interest of science, Larry tapped the mind of Kzanol - and that was his first mistake!

Kzanol was a thrint from a distant galaxy.  He had been trapped on Earth in a time-stasis field for two billion years.  Now he was on the loose, and Larry knew everything he was thinking.

Thrints lived to plunder and enslave lesser planets... and the planet Kzanol had in mind was Earth!

WHEN HE CAME BACK
FROM THE DEAD...
HE WISHED HE HADN'T

Jaybee Corbell awoke after more than 200 years as a corpsicle -- in someone else's body, and under sentence of instant annihilation if he made a wrong move while they were training him for a one-way mission to the stars.

But Corbell picked his time and made his own move. Once he was outbound, where the Society that ruled Earth could not reach him, he headed his starship toward the galactic core, where the unimaginable energies of the Universe wrenched the fabric of time and space and promised final escape from his captors.

Then he returned to an Earth eons older than the one he'd left... a planet that had had 3,000,000 years to develop perils he had never dreamed of - perils that became nightmares that he had to escape... somehow!
