You're on your own, Ace.

The TARDIS is invaded by an alien presence, and is then destroyed. The Doctor disappears.

Ace, lost and alone, finds herself in a bizarre deserted city ruled by the tyrannical, leech-like monster known as the Process.

Lost voyagers drawn forward from Ancient Gallifrey perform obsessive rituals in the ruins.

The strands of time are tangled in a cat's cradle of dimensions.

The place is Earth. The time is the near future - all too near.

Industrial development has accelerated out of all control, spawning dangerous new technologies and laying the planet to waste. While the inner cities collapse in guerilla warfare, a dark age of superstition dawns.

As destruction of the environment reaches the point of no return, multinational corporations and super-rich individuals unite in a last desperate effort - not to save humankind, but to buy themselves immortality in a poisoned world.

If Earth is to survive, somebody has to stop them.

From London to New York to Turkey, Ace follows the Doctor as he prepares, finally, to strike back.

HE LOOKED LIKE A MAN

BUT HE WASN'T A MAN....

Detective R. Daneel Olivaw was a robot!

When Lije Baley was summoned by the police commission to investigate the murder of Spacetown's leading scientist, he was told his partner would be a robot... a very special robot, created by the murdered man himself.

News of the crime had to be kept secret.  And it had to be solved before the hostile Spacetowners could use it to cause political upheaval.

Olivaw's identity also had to be kept secret.  Anti-robot feeling was reaching riot proportions.

The mission was almost impossible... for a human.  But R. Daneel Olivaw wasn't human.  Detective Baley found Daneel's way to the truth the most terrifying experience of his life.

GRAND SCAM

Robots were infiltrating the Federation. Someone was kidnapping people and substituting indetectable, synthetic imitations. Somewhere, aliens were studying the Federation, using techniques beyond human developments. The trail led back to Cerberus and the Lord who ruled that planet.

Cerberus, however, was one of the Warden Worlds - and those Worlds were the untouchables of space. There a strange microscopic life-form invaded all matter, and anyone so infected died on leaving those Worlds. Men could go there, but never return.

But the Federation had its own techniques. They took a criminal named Qwin Zhang and stripped her mind of all memory and personality. Then they poured into that empty receptacle the full mind of the Federation's best operative. They exiled her to the prison world of Cerberus. The mission: Find the Lord who ruled, kill him, and take over. Too bad there were things about Cerberus they couldn't know!

Miles Vorkosigan and his cousin Ivan are sent on a diplomatic mission to the court of the Cetagandan Empire, Barrayar's former enemy. This sophisticated, genetically advanced but in many ways alien society both fascinates and repels, and when the Cetagandan Empress and her attendant die suddenly, Miles and Ivan find themselves embroiled in intrigues that are hard to fathom. Ivan's romances and Miles' infatuation with a nobel Cetagandan lady further complicate matters in this novel by four-time Hugo Award winner Lois McMaster Bujold. Publishers Weekly wrote of CETAGANDA: "Set in a vividly realized world where Machiavellian intrigues are played out behind a facade of aristocratic discretion, this novel … blends high adventure with wry commentary on the seemingly unbridgeable gulf between human ideals and political realities."

Ten centuries after the War of Energy, Melody of Mintaka - daughter of Flint the Caveman - assumes the forms of alien and animal, male and female, to bring victory to the people of Cluster against the Adromedan spacefleet.  But first she must endure untold humiliation...

ASSIGNMENT:
HELL WORLD!

They took the body of Park Lacoch and stripped away his mind, transplanting the mind of a top Confederacy operator to his brain.  Then they stuck him aboard a spaceship and exiled him to Charon, on of the Worlds of the Warden Diamond, from which no man could ever return.  A mysterious organism on those world infected everything, making life away from them impossible afterward.

Charon was a well-world in literal fact.  It was too near the sun, making life all but unbearable in its hot, steamy atmosphere.  Strange beasts roamed the jungles - and stranger still, the group known as the Witchcraft plotted with the Lord in exile to take over the planet.

There Witchcraft was real - for on Charon, magic worked!  The Warden organism could be made to perform almost any feat under the control of a skilled witch or sorcerer - as Park Lacoch discovered when he was transformed into a changeling - a half-beast half -man, with the beast rapidly gaining ascendancy.

After that, his assignment really became difficult...

A freak storm on Mars throws Tara, Princess of Helium and beautiful daughter of John Carter, wildly off course after she embarks on an imprudent flight. Gahan, Jed of Gathol, her new admirer, takes off in pursuit and they soon find themselves in a land of bodies without heads and heads without bodies.

The Overlords appeared suddenly over every city - intellectually, technologically, and militarily superior to humankind. Benevolent, they made few demands: unify earth, eliminate poverty, and end war. With little rebellion, humankind agreed, and a golden age began.

But at what cost?  With the advent of peace, man ceased to strive for creative greatness, and a malaise settles over the human race. To those who resist, it became evident that the Overlords have an agenda of their own.

As civilization approaches the crossroads, would the Overlords spell the end for humankind... or the beginning?

CHRISTMAS ON A RATIONAL PLANET

AN ORIGINAL DOCTOR WHO NOVEL

'An end to history.  An end to certainty.  Is that too much to ask?'

December, 1799.  Europe is recovering from the Age of Reason, the Vatican is learning to live with Napoleon, and America is celebrating a new ara of independence.  But in New York State, something is spreading its own brand of madness through the streets.  Secret societies are crawling from the woodwork, and there's a Satanic conspiracy around every corner.

Roz Forrester is stranded in a town where festive cheer and random violence go hand-in-hand.  Chris Cwej is trapped on board the TARDIS with someone who's been trained to kill him.  And when Reason itself breaks down, even the Doctor can't be sure who or what he's fighting for.

Christmas is coming to town, and the end of civilization is following close behind...

LAWRENCE MILES feels the back cover will look a bit empty if he doesn't say something interesting about himself, especially now they've taken away the 'previously unexplored realms of space and time' bit.  He has a finite number of cats.

IN THE GARNET CAVES

Aton, child of the sun, was condemned to the ruby-dark mines of Chthon - prison planet, underground world, from which there was no escape.  His crime?  He loved a minionette.

These half-legendary creatures were feared and loathed on all the worlds of mankind - but none would say why.

There was no escape from Chthon - neither from Chthon the labrynthine planet, nor from Chthon the superhuman intelligence that penetrated the minds of all who lived there.  But the minionette called, and Aton would respond....

Enter a new frontier.

An empty apartment, a missing family, that's creepy. But this is like finding a military base with no one on it. Fighters and tanks idling on the runway with no drivers. This is bad juju. Something wrong happened here. What you should do is tell everyone to leave.

The gates have opened the way to a thousand new worlds, and the rush to colonize has begun. Settlers looking for a new life stream out from humanity's home planets. Ilus, the first human colony on this vast new frontier, is being born in blood and fire.

Independent settlers stand against the overwhelming power of a corporate colony ship with only their determination, courage, and the skills learned in the long wars of home. Innocent scientists are slaughtered as they try to survey a new and alien world. The struggle on Ilus threatens to spread all the way back to Earth.

James Holden and the crew of his one small ship are sent to make peace in the midst of war and sense in the midst of chaos. But the more he looks at it, the more Holden thinks the mission was meant to fail.

And the whispers of a dead man remind him that the great galactic civilization that once stood on this land is gone. And that something killed it.

In the city-state of Hokesh, time plays tricks; the present is unreliable, the future impossible to intimate. A derelict street child, Joey Quine, finds himself subject to horrifying visions and fugues. His only friend in this, the only one to whom he can turn for help, is a mysterious stranger who calls herself Ace.

And in an unknowable future the Doctor is busily inciting a state of bloody unrest, on the basis that one must be cruel to be kind -- simultaneously, for preference. The Glorious Ruler of the city, Magnus Solaris, is worried: his memory is failing him; his influence deserting him; his city is falling apart. What is happening to him truly? Only the Doctor knows -- and he’s not telling.

There is worse to come. As both world and time crumble, Magnus Solaris and Joey Quine will unearth secrets the like of which nobody in Hokesh could have ever possibly suspected.

The Doctor and his companions land in the city of Arkhaven, the last bastion of civilisation in a doomed world.

The inhabitants of the city are pinning all their hopes on a final desperate gamble for survival.  Behind the scenes there are jealous factions at work, secretly contesting for the chance to shape the destiny of a new world.  Beneath its ordered surface, Arkhaven is a city of secrets and mysteries where outward appearances can be deceptive.

Is the thing they call the 'Creeper' really at large in Arkhaven's eerie outer zone - and is it beast or machine?  What is the hidden force at work that has acted so strangely upon Susan?

With Barbara lost and the countdown to doomsday drawing to a climax, the Doctor must discover the true nature of the final enemy - or is that enemy simply fear itself?

MACHINE THAT COULD
BUILD CITIES

The entire population of that colonized planet was crowded into one all-enclosed self-functioning city construction.  For the majority the situation was like living forever in the steerage of an immigrant freighter.  For a few there were some privileges, and for the Highs, power and luxury had been secured by a change of language and the destruction of the old books.

Which was where the man Ryne came in.  For he was the last who could read the original language - and if they could ever locate the machine that could build new cities, he'd be the only one to read the instructions. The story of the search for the City Machine, the linguistics and logistics problems presented, and the fight
for Ryne’s very life is a science fiction novel of edge-of-the-seat excitement.

Each time a group of Earthmen began to rise fom the ashes, the Shing, the ravagers of Terra, the Liars, would crush them out.

Only one man could stand against them, and that man had alien amber eyes.  Before he dared oppose the enemy he had to prove his humanity, and to himself that he was not a tool of the Shing....

On Tschai, a vast, previously unexplored planet, Adam is taken as a slave by humans and learns that there are four other intelligent but nonhuman races dominant on this strange world. To solve the mystery of the distress call and the vicious attack on his ship, he must first gain his freedom, then find safe passage by the city and the alien Chasch and their treacherous cousins, the Blue Chasch.

New Orleans, the early 21st century.  A dealer in morbid artefacts has been murdered.  A charm carved from human bone is missing.  An old plantation, miles from any water, has been destroyed by a tidal wave.

Anji goes dancing.  Fitz goes grave-robbing.  The Doctor attracts the interest of a homicide detective and the enmity of a would-be magician.  He wants to find out the secret of the redneck thief and his blind wife.  He'd like to help the crippled curator of a museum of magic.  He's trying to refuse politely the request of a crazy young artist that he pose naked with the man's wife.

Most of all, he needs to figure out what all of them have to do with the Void that is hunting him down.

Before it catches him.

THE
DAEDELUS MISSION:4

One of the classical Utopias of philosophy is the City of the Sun by Tommaso Campanella, which outlined an ideal community based upon a marvellous Arcadian city encompassing seven levels of advanced humanity.

Utopian groups had emigrated into space to found their ideal communities... and it was on such a colony world, called appropriately Arcadia, that the recontact starship Daedelus made its fourth planetfall.  And there, in all its perfect splendor, stood the fulfillment of Campanella's dream, the real seven-circled City of the Sun.

But the city was too literal, the inhabitants too perfect, the world too Arcadian - and very quickly the Daedelus's scientists realized that in this Utopia the idealists had unleashed a phenomenon that could undermine all human culture on all human worlds.
