Originally serialized in three parts in Analog Science Fact & Fiction - February, March & April 1973:- Synopsis: Empires at war! Like two giants the old enemies faced each other across the reaches of the galaxy - the Terran Empire and the Ythrian Domain. Terra was a Leviathan, encroaching ever further among the stars, promising peace and prosperity - but at the price of freedom.Ythri was smaller, but an empire in its own right, peopled by birdlike beings with a civilisation and intellect that easily matched Terra's own. And between the adversaries lay Avalon. One single planet, inhabited by human and Ythri alike. Both sides wanted to claim Avalon, by persuasion or by force, for it was a key world that could turn the tide of the war. But Avalon had developed a unique culture, a powerful blend of human and Ythrian thought. And Avalon had ideas of its own:- (original cost £0.85).

Alan Green was not a hero - he liked the quiet life as much as the next man. Not that he was exactly afraid of the fearsome hound, Alzo, or his hot-blooded owner, the Duchess Zuni. After all, one expected violence on this primitive planet and a man could manage to stay alive, provided he was alert twenty-four hours a day. But when he heard of a spaceship about to leave for Earth, Alan persuaded the merchant-captain of a windroller to take him to it. And hence to the peaceful green hills of home. He had reckoned without the vagaries of the windroller, pirates, the 'travelling islands', the rascally captain, and various peculiar local flora and fauna - all of which, it seemed, regarded Alan with unnerving malevolence:- Review(s): "'The Green Odyssey' is a classic novel of extraterrestrial adventure by one of the most exciting authors on the SF scene":- (original cost £0.60).

They gave their names and next of kin, then walked into a back-room, where the enigmatic Dr Lell waited for them. And that was where the nightmare began! For Lell was a time-traveller from an unimaginably hideous future where a war between the sane Planetarians and the insane Glorious was devastating Earth. The Glorious were weakening, losing thousands of men every minute - and so they had dispatched emissaries like Lell to the past, to lure unsuspecting adventure seekers into the ranks of their decimated slave-armies. It was a one-way ticket to death in a violent future:- (original cost £0.85).

Not the kind who needs a cumbersome machine but a dreamfarer who crosses in his mind the boundaries dividing the world from its primeval past. As a child he made dream voyages into prehistoric landscapes of bright and vivid innocence: as an adult he is trained and sponsored to travel far back into the history of the human race in its days of uncharted innocence. But is he meant to tamper with the seeds of human evolution buried deep in the living core of time? Can he live and love for years in a world of dreams, and, in that insubstantial domain, even father a child? 'No Enemy But Time' is a dazzling exploration of the mysteries of genesis, evolution and innocence:- Review(s): "Prehistoric detail is marvellous. Crackingly funny" - The Times / "Strikingly imaginative, enjoyable, jollily-written impression of a long, long, time ago seen through twentieth century eyes" - Sunday Telegraph:- (original cost £2.25).
