| 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! | |

| 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...

| 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! | |
