Unknown publication date. 7th printing of 2007 edition:- Synopsis: For a hundred generations the city of Deepgate has hung suspended by chains over a seemingly bottomless abyss. In the darkness below is said to reside the dread god Ulcis with his army of ghosts. Outside the city extend the barren wastes of Deadsands, inhabited by enemy tribesmen, and safe access is guaranteed only by airship. At the hub of the city rises the Temple, in one of whose many crumbling spires resides a youthful angel, Dill, the last of his line. Descendant of heroic battle-archons, though barely able to wield the great sword he has inherited, he lives a sheltered existence under the watchful eye of Presbyter Sypes, ruler of the Temple. Yet Dill has a destiny about to unfold - one that takes him down into the terrifying depths of the pit in a desperate quest to save the teeming city from total annihilation:- Review(s): "A visually rich, satisfyingly dark tale of a city of chains, ancient bloodlust and unshakeable loyalty" - Trudi Canavan / "I haven't read a fantasy this good in years - it is utterly marvelous" - Neal Asher / "A dark, violent fantasy full of vivid images.

Unknown publication date, 2nd printing of 2003 edition:- Synopsis: Though her memory remains clouded by sorcery, Imrhien must take vital news directly to the King-Emperor of Caermelor. She hopes that there she may also find Thorn, the fearless ranger who has won her heart. Since no commoner may approach the royal court, Imrhien must assume a new identity as 'Rohain', a noble visitor from the distant Sorrow Isles. This disguise helps her discover that the King and his rangers have in fact gone off to battle the Unseelie hordes, which have suddenly declared war against mortals. While she awaits the King's return, the newcomer Rohain is trapped in her subterfuge, facing a court where treachery and deceit are as deadly as any eldritch peril. As always, changes of fate and fortune occur, and for a brief while it seems Rohain's dream of happiness may be achieved. But her joy is short-lived, for attacks by nightmare monsters of the Wild Hunt - led by the Unseelie Lord Huon - grow ever more frequent and brutal. And when evil forces lay siege to the royal sanctuary on a hidden mystic island, Rohain must accept a horrifying fact: she herself is the real target of these monstrous onslaughts; she is the one whom Huon is hunting. But she has no idea why. To protect those she loves, the 'Lady of the Sorrows' must undertake a desperate quest to discover who she really is, and why an unhuman evil will destroy a world to find her. But the truth of Rohain's past is about to prove more incredible - and far more tragic - than anything she could possibly have imagined:- Review(s): "Not since Tolkien's 'The Fellowship Of The Ring' have I been so impressed by a beautifully spun fantasy" - Andre Norton:- (original cost £7.99).

Unknown publication date. 4th printing of 2008 edition:- Synopsis: For a quarter of a million years an alien race has been hiding a vast and terrible secret. In the twenty-fifth century, only the alien race known as the Shoal possesses the secret of FTL, or faster-than-light travel, giving them absolute control over all trade and exploration throughout the entire galaxy. Mankind has operated within their influence for two centuries, establishing a dozen human colony worlds scattered along the conventional Shoal trade routes. Dakota Merrick, while serving as a military pilot, has witnessed atrocities for which this alien breed is responsible. Piloting a civilian ship, she is currently ferrying an exploration team to a star system containing a derelict starship. From its wreckage her passengers hope to salvage a functioning FTL drive of mysteriously non-Shoal origin. But perhaps the Shoal are not yet ready to relinquish their monopoly over a technology they acquired through ancient genocide:- Review(s): "Packed with massive concepts and dark psychological twists.

Dakota has discovered that humanity's limited knowledge of the rest of the galaxy is direly inaccurate. The Shoal have been fighting a frontier war with a rival species - the Emissaries - with their own FTL technology, for over fifteen thousand years and, as yet, their enemies are unaware of the technology's destructive capabilities. The Bandati have uncovered this valuable information and are resolved to use it for their own profit. Dakota soon realizes that, for all their faults, the Shoal may be the Galaxy's one chance at sustained peace. Forging an alliance with the Shoal-member Trader, she's determined to prevent the spread of deadly knowledge carried on board the Magi ships. But, even so, it appears that the nova war that will destroy millions of inhabited worlds is inevitable:- Review(s): "With the second novel in the Dakota Merrick trilogy, Gibson stakes his claim to be considered alongside the leading triumvirate of British hard SF writers.

Unknown publication date. 3rd printing of 2008 edition:- Synopsis: In a remote solar system, a terrible war has raged between two rival planets whose human colonists were forced to adapt in totally different ways to the contrasting conditions of their separate homes. During this merciless conflict one contender encountered a bizarre object suspected of being a cosmic superstring which the rival side was employing as a new weapon. Under attack, the object collapsed into four parts, each found to be packed with alien technology or some unknown form of life. Sometime later, while conducting research on this alien entity they now called 'The Worm', a female scientist, impregnated in strange circumstances, gives birth to quads and then inexplicably commits suicide by stepping directly into space. The war is finally brought to an end by use of new weapons deployed by giant space dreadnoughts nicknamed 'Hilldiggers', whose destructive power proves sufficient to obliterate cities and delve entire new mountain ranges out of the enemy's planet. Twenty years later those four exceptionally talented orphans have grown up to assume varying degrees of power and influence within a post-war society. And now one of them seems obsessed with gaining total control over the deadly Hilldiggers. But why?:- Review(s): "If there's a more enjoyable and provocative sci-fi action saga this year, we'll be seriously surprised" - SFX:- (original cost £7.99).

Unknown publication date. 3rd printing of 2007 edition:- Synopsis: John Perry did two things on his seventy-fifth birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news for humanity is that we have finally made it into interstellar space, The bad news is that there are few planets out there fit to live on - and plenty of alien races willing to compete for them. Therefore we must fight: to defend Earth itself, and to stake our claim to planetary living space. Far from Earth this conflict has been going on for decades, brutal, bloody and unyielding. Earth itself is now a backwater, with the bulk of humanity's resources in the hands of Colonial Defense Forces. But you cannot join the CDF until you reach retirement age because they don't want young people; only those with the knowledge and skills amassed during decades of living. Once you join CDF, you'll be taken off Earth and never allowed to return. First come two years at the front and, if you survive, you'll be given a generous homestead stake of your own on one of those hard-won colony planets. When John Perry agrees to this deal, he has only the vaguest idea of what to expect. Because, light-years from home, the actual fight he faces is harder than he could imagine. And what he himself will become is far stranger still:- Review(s): "Scalzi's astonishingly proficient first novel reads like an original work by the late grand master, Robert A Heinlein" - Publishers Weekly / "Delivers fast-paced scenes of combat" - San Francisco Chronicle / "Thought-provoking" - Entertainment Weekly / "I enjoyed 'Old Man's War' immensely.

Did he succeed because he was infected by the Spatterjay virus, or because he came late to resurrection in a tank of seawater? Tracing the man's last-known seaborne journey, Taylor Bloc wants to know the truth. he also wants so much else - adulation, power, control - and will go to any lengths to get them. An ancient hive mind, almost incomprehensible to the human race, has sent an agent to Spatterjay. Does it simply want to obtain the lethal poison sprine? If so, Janer must find it and stop it. Meanwhile, still faced with the ennui of immortality, Erlin has her solitude rudely interrupted by a very angry whelkus titanicus, and begins the strangest of journeys. Deep in the ocean the Spatterjay virus has wrought a terrible change that will affect them all. Something dormant for ten years is breaking free, and once again the aftershocks of an ancient war will focus on this watery world. And Sniper, for ten years the Warden of Spatterjay, finally takes delivery of his new drone shell.

Cover Art: Steve Rawlings (illustrator). 2008 Edition. © 2006: A part of the 'Polity' series of books. 1st printing of 2008 edition:- Synopsis: The Polity Collective stretches from Earth Central into the unfathomable reaches of the galactic void. But when the Polity finally encounters alien life in the form of massive, hostile, crablike carnivores known as the Prador, there can be only one outcome - total warfare. Chaos reigns as, caught unawares, the Polity struggles to regain its foothold and transition itself into a military society. Starships clash, planets fall and space stations are overrun. But for Jebel Krong and Moria Salem, trapped at the centre of the action, this war is far more than a mere clash of cultures, far more than technology versus brute force. This war is personal. 'Prador Moon' is one of Asher's most shocking excursions into the Polity's universe of over-the-top violence and explosive action - a vivid, visceral, brilliantly intense space opera that you won't forget soon:- Review(s): "Straightforward action Sc-Fi. I cannot recommend it highly enough" - Daily Telegraph / "A brilliantly conceived race of killer crustaceans.

Unknown publication date. 5th printing of 2006 edition:- Synopsis: On the primitive Out-Polity world of Cull, a latter-day knight errant called Anderson is hunting a dragon. He little knows that, far away, another man - though now more technology than human flesh - has resurrected a brass killing machine called 'Mr Crane' to assist in a similar hunt, but one that encompasses star systems. When Agent Cormac realizes that this old enemy still lives, he sets out in pursuit aboard the attack ship Jack Ketch. For the inhabitants of Cull, each day proves a struggle to survive on a planet roamed by ferocious insectile monsters, but the humans persevere in slowly building an industrial base that may enable them to reach their forefather's starship, still orbiting far above them. They are assisted by an entity calling itself Dragon, but its motives are questionable, having created genetic by-blows out of humans and the hideous local monsters. To make things even worse, the planet itself, for millennia geologically inactive, is increasingly suffering from earthquakes. Meanwhile, Mr Crane himself doggedly seeks to escape a violent past that he can neither forget nor truly remember. So he continues mindlessly in his search for sanity, which he may discover in the next instant or not for a thousand years:- Review(s): "Trademark Asher.

Those now coming through it had been sent specially to take the alien 'Maker' back to its home civilization in the Small Magellanic cloud. Once these refugees are safely through, the gate is rapidly shut down because something alien is pursuing them. The gate itself is then dumped into a nearby sun. From those same refugees Agent Cormac learns that the Maker civilization has been destroyed by a devastating virus known as the Jain technology. This naturally raises questions: why was Dragon - that massive bioconstruct of the Makers - really sent to the Polity? And why did a Jain node suddenly end up in the hands of someone capable of wreaking the most damage with it? Meanwhile an entity called the Legate is distributing pernicious Jain nodes. And a renegade attack ship, the King of Hearts, has encountered something very nasty outside the Polity itself:- Review(s): "One of the best yet. Destructive high Space Opera.

Unknown publication date. 3rd printing of 2003 edition:- Synopsis: Welcome to Spatterjay, where sudden death is the normal way of life. On the planet Spatterjay arrive three travellers: Janer, bringing the eyes of the hornet Hive mind, on a mission not yet revealed to him; Erlin, searching for Ambel - the ancient sea captain who can teach her how to live; and Sable Keech, on a vendetta he cannot abandon, though he himself has been dead for seven hundred years. This remote world is mostly ocean, and all but a very few human visitors keep safe inside the island Dome. Outside it, only the native hoopers dare risk the voracious appetites of the planet's wildlife. But somewhere out there is Spatterjay Hoop - and monitor Keech will not rest until he brings this legendary renegade to justice for hideous crimes committed centuries ago during the Prador Wars. Pursuing rumour, Keech learns that Hoop has since become something monstrous: his body roaming free in an island wilderness, whilst his living head is confined in a box aboard one of the old captain's ships. Janer, the eternal tourist, is bewildered by this place, where the native inhabitants just will not die, but his bewilderment turns to anger when he finally learns the Hive mind's intentions. Meanwhile, Erlin thinks she has plenty of time to find the answers she seeks, but she could not be more wrong. For one of the most brutal of the alien Prador is about to pay the planet a surreptitious visit, intent on exterminating all remaining witnesses to his wartime atrocities. So, as the fortunes of these recent arrivals converge, major hell is about to erupt in a chaotic waterscape - where minor hell is already a remorseless fact of everyday life. And death:- Review(s): "Fast-moving narrative laced with action, biological inventiveness, grotesque horror, and glints of humour. Multiple climaxes of combat, death, justice, sacrifice, and vindication lead to some nicely sneaky or witty reversals" - David Langford, Amazon_co_uk:- (original cost £6.99).
