Phtor:

The planet Chton was Hell itself...a prison world of ruby caves where rebels and outlaws were exiled into endless darkness.

Aton's crime was loving a minionette, one of the sensuous woman warriors it was death to touch. His son Arlo was both minion and human. Arlo's destiny was war, with the deadliest enemy of all: the very planet Chton, which was alive, and angry at the life within its depths...

Sos the Rope

The kill spirits of the blast were retreating and Sos was pledged to begin an empire, to build a dream- the same dream which had been built so many times, eons ago.

Var the Stick

Var was the chosen one- half man, half animal, a mutant victim of the blast- called upon to rescue the Empire in a battle he was secretly afraid of winning.

Neq the Sword

An age of darkness was upon the Empire and Neq, the greatest of warriors, was embarked on a quest that would decide the future of the world!

Omnivore

Herbivore, Carnivore, Omnivore

These are the species that lived on the mysterious planet Nacre. Three scientists came to Nacre to discover, to explore, to record. Utterly defenseless, they trekked through a grotesque jungle of multiform mushrooms and dense spore-clouds, hoping to unlock the secret of this strange world. The stunning climax of their mission was just the beginning of a complex drama in which their survival- and return to earth- could spell the extinction of humanity!

Orn

The trio of scientists had been ordered to survey the planet's flora, fauna and mineral resources, and from the very beginning of their mission everything they observed led to one startling conclusion- the mysterious world was virtually identical to with the Earth of the Paleocene period, 70 million years ago at the very dawn of the age of mammals.

Their names were Cal, Veg and Aquilon, the most resourceful- and rebellious- of Earth's explorers, and with them came four alien companions, the mantas. The mantas possessed the keenest senses of any creatures in the universe, a gift which immediately saved the mission from complete disaster.

But just as incredible as the dinosaurs was another creature they were soon to meet- Orn, a man-sized bird who belonged to the most advanced species ever to develop on this world. Unsurpassed racial memory enabled Orn's mind to reach millions of years into the past, and it was his presence that led the three humans and the mantas to open revolt.

Determined to prevent man's destructive exploitation of this world, they must pit themselves not only against the creatures they wish to save from extinction, but also against the all-consuming greed of Earth's powerful authorities.

Ox

Cal, Veg, and Aquilon- two men and one woman- roamed the alternate dimensions of time and space. With them were the mantas, strange flying aliens- half animal, half fungus- who could boost the keenest senses of any creatures in the universe. And with them too was the mysterious, impassive superwoman, Tamme.

They were imprisoned on a hostile world dominated by savage robots. It was crucial to their very survival that each find a way back to their familiar dimension of Earth.

Suddenly they encounter OX- an amorphous, telepathic being of brilliant luminosity- who held the key to every alternate continuum in the universe, including their only chance of escape!

Double Exposure

Split Infinity

Blue Adept

On Proton, a world ruled by an all-powerful Citizenship, Stile is a mere serf. He is also, however, a star in the demanding and highly competitive games which are the major preoccupation of Proton's populace. Jockey-sized but powerfully built, Stile would not trade his life for any other; nowhere else could he satisfy his passion for the games.

But Stile's complacent life are shattered forever when someone tries to murder him. Protection arrives in the form of a beautiful, humanoid robot, programmed both to guard and fall in love with him. But who has sent her? And who wishes him dead?

With the aid of his android companion, stile escapes his unknown assailant through the invisible curtain into the fantastic world of Phaze--where magic works and science is powerless.

At first, it seems that he has discovered a lush and enchanted paradise, far removed from the bleak and polluted world of the technologically advanced Proton. Then, slowly, he sees that Phaze bears startling resemblance to the world he has fled. In fact everyone on Proton appears to have a Phazite twin. Even the omnipotent Citizens are mirrored by an elusive group of Adepts, endowed with overwhelming magical strength. Indeed, the Phazite world is a perfect parallel to the Proton world- with one exception: Stile's twin appears to be missing.

Hoping to solve the mystery of both his would-be killer and his protector, Stile sets out on a quest for his double, with the help of an amazing black unicorn, an outcast werewolf, and a fiercely loyal troll.

He also discovers his considerable magic powers, unrealized on Proton and invaluable in the face of ogres, demons and monsters that begin to challenge him with increasing frequency. For here, as on Proton, someone is out for his blood.

A fugitive in both worlds, Stile shuttles frantically between them, his troubles snowballing with every trip as an ever-increasing following of lovely ladies and grateful beings demand his loyalty and protection-should he survive.

Out of Phaze

Welcome to the astonishing parallel worlds of Phaze and Proton. Where magic and science maintain an uneasy truce. Where an accidental mind-switch plunges an apprentice wizard from Phaze into the mind-boggling technology of Proton. And where a robot named Mach is, in turn, swept away to a world of bizarre and terrifying wonders: the dazzling world of Phaze...

Robot Adept

Proton and Phaze, parallel worlds of scince and magic, are ripe with the seeds of revolution. Mach, a brave and sensitive robot from Proton, and his alternate self, magical Bane from Phaze, hold the power to link the two warring systems--or destroy them entirely. Both are prepared to save their worlds. But neither Mach nor Bane had anticipated the dangers of forbidden love...with members of the opposite realm!

Unicorn Point

Neither the magic of Phaze, nor the technology of Proton, can save the parallel worlds from a ruthless takeover. The fight for freedom must be waged by Mach and Bane, robot and wizard, linked between worlds. But they are not the only ones with this strange ability. For their children have been born-each possessing powers the enemy could never imagine...

Phaze Doubt

The dual worlds of magic and science-Phaze and Proton-are threatened by a terrifying species of beings, more powerful and destructive than any force on the planet. Only two special children, Nepe and Flach, will dare to fight back-by befriending one of the enemy...

On a Pale Horse

In Zane's world, the revolution of science had been joined by the revolution of magic. Autos vied with flying carpets and spellstones were better than penicillin. The Incarnations--Time, War, Nature, Fate, and Death--were no abstractions, but were living beings with immense power over the affairs of men. And the war of Satan against God was real and evident.

Zane, cheated of his chance for romance and wealth, should have been a miserable failure. Instead, he was thrust into the role and given the powers of Death. By his will, death came to men to end suffering or destroy hope. And he alone could free and judge the souls of those in balance between good and evil. Thus he must speed over the world, riding his pale and marvelous Deathhorse and guided by the Deathstones and the Deathwatch.

He was forced to accept the necessity of his unwelcome task. But he found it impossible at times to accept the rules that seemed woefully out of date and unfair.

Then Zane discovered he was being drawn inescapably into an evil plot by Satan. Luna, the Magician's daughter who had forced upon himand whom he was learning to love, was somehow destined in the future to thwart the ambition of the Prince of Evil. Even now Satan was cunningly forging a trap where Zane must act to destroy her.

Zane could see only one possible way to defeat the foul plot and overcome the enormous power of the Father of Lies--and that was to betray his office and bring interminable agony to all those who suffered. It was unthinkable--but there was no other solution!

Bearing an Hourglass

When the child he had fathered died of an incurable disease, and the woman he loved committed suicide in her grief, Norton no longer cared what happened to him. Thus, when Gawain the Ghost informed him that the position of the Incarnation of Time was about to be vacant, Norton volunteered.

Being Time wasn't so bad at first, though he now lived backward from present to past. The Hourglass enabled him to journey back to see the one he had loved again. The other seemingly all-powerful, living Incarnations--Death, Fate, Nature, and War--all welcomed him to their ranks. Even Satan visited him, bringing a gift--a trip to the world of Bat Dursten and the Bems. Another jaunt took him to the world of the Damsel in Distress, the Evil Sorceress, and the Enchanted Sword.

But Satan was the Father of Lies and illusions. Norton learned that, while he was being distracted, he had already become enmeshed in a foul plot of Satan's to destroy all that was good. Death's beloved Luna was now a Senator, and her deciding vote could thwart Satan's plans for Earth. Norton had been tricked by the Evil One into enabling Satan to spread his minions through the past to make her election impossible.

Using the Hourglass, Norton could go back through time to try to overcome this threat. But the schemes of Satan were never that simple. Behind the obvious menace lay deeper and deeper levels of intrigue. In the end, Norton was forced to confront the immense power of Satan directly. And though Satan banished him to Hell, he knew he must fight on.

With a Tangled Skein

It seemed to Niobe that Fate and the Devil had conspired against her. And on this world, where science and magic were equally advanced, both Fate and Satan were very real.

So were all the Incarnations--Death, Time, Fate, War, and Nature. They were normal people who had been chosen for their positions and given extraordinary powers. Even Satan was supposed to be an Incarnation, though the Prince of Evil opposed all the others, plotting foully to seize the mastery of the world.

When the man Niobe loved was shot, she made a desperate and futile appeal to the Incarnations to save him. But Fate cut his thread, and he died. Then Niobe discovered that he had willingly sacrificed himself; she was supposed to have been the target of the bullet, in a devious, long-range plan of the Devil.

To gain a chance for revenge against Satan, she accepted the position of Clotho, the youngest of the three Aspects of Fate. Then, while the son she had left with relatives grew to manhood and had a daughter, Niobe struggled to understand and circumvent Satan's evil plans.

But Satan's plots were incredibly complicated and tangled into the Tapestry of Fate. Now the Evil One was laying a trap to ruin Niobe's granddaughter Luna, who threatened his plans. And her son was sent to Hell by a trick of Satan's.

Niobe's only chance to defeat Satan and save her son and Luna was to accept a challenge by the Prince of Deceit--a challenge to be decided in Hell and in a maze of Satan's devising!

Wielding a Red Sword

This was a world where both science and magic worked and where magic carpets competed in the market with shiny new cars. Here the Incarnations of Death, Time, Fate, and Nature were real beings, caught up in a continuing effort to defeat the wiles of Satan.

Mym was a prince of a province in a still-divided India, where the Rajahs ruled absolutely. Mym was a dutiful son, but the third time the Rajah interfered in his love life was too much. Rather than give in to the Rajah's plans to have him wed, he agreed to assume the office of the Incarnation of War and wield the Red Sword that was the powerful symbol of the position.

For a time, he was reasonably happy, believing that his efforts in the constant petty wars of Earth could ameliorate some of the injustice and suffering. But gradually he became aware that behind all his involvement were the clever traps of Satan, designed to lead him astray.

When he sought to move against one of Satan's plans, what seemed to be mischance placed him in Hell. Mym accepted the challenge and saw in it a chance to defeat the Father of Lies. Working in secret, he organized a rebellion among the Damned. And Satan seemed to capitulate.

But free again, Mym soon learned that the episode had been only another snare of Satan. His apparent triumph in Hell had been a chance for Satan to stir up troubles, riots, and devastating wars on Earth, without the Incarnation of War to control them.

Now it seemed that things had gone too far for control and that Satan must surely win. There was only one desperate chance...

Being a Green Mother

Orb was the daughter of Niobe, who had relinquished her role as the Incarnation of Fate to have a daughter. For this was a world where magic was as real as science and where the Incarnations of Death, War, and others were drawn from human beings.

But even in this world, the gift with which Orb had been born was rare. She had magic within her, manifesting whenever she sang or played her harp. None could resist the magic of her music. But still greater magic lay in the Llano, the mystic music that was said to control all things. The quest for the Llano had occupied her life and taken her all over the world, but she had found only a few tiny themes of the great music.

The she met Natasha. He was strikingly handsome, with a charm that she found irresistible, though he was scrupulously formal in her presence. And when he sang to her, she realized that he must have a greater magic than hers; unquestionably, he was an even finer musician. He began teaching her the music of the Llano which he had learned. He sang her the Song of Morning and the Son of Day. And she found herself falling completely in love with him.

All seemed lovely, until Niobe came, again an aspect of Fate. Her mother came with the news that Orb was to be chosen for the role of the Incarnation of Nature-the Green Mother. And Niobe warned Orb of the prophecy that had been made years before-that Orb was to marry Evil. Could she be sure that Natasha was not really Satan, the Incarnation of Evil, laying a trap for her? Satan was a master of illusion who could pass almost any test, apparently. And with the powers of Nature to add to his own, he could overcome the powers of Good.

Orb believed she could be sure. But then she discovered too late that she was wrong...

For Love of Evil

For Love of Evil, perhaps the richest accomplishment yet in this popular series, begins as a touching love story set in twelfth-century France. Parry is a young apprentice and gifted musician; Jolie is a village girl whom he woos and wins- only to lose her to an early and violent death. But Parry survives and prospers; first as a powerful sorcerer, later as a monk, and finally- in this mortal lifetime, at least- as a powerful Inquisitor.

This last vocation is a trap for Parry. For in it, he not only winnows the damned souls from the saved, but he finally succumbs to the temptations of a demoness. Thenceforth he lives out his final days in complete depravity- and ends his life not only at the gates of Hell, but actually contesting Lucifer for dominion over the infernal realms.

And Eternity

In every sense, the previous six Incarnation volumes reach their climax in this volume. Orlene, the mortal daughter of Gaea, has finally died, after being overwhelmed by a succession of tragedies. In the Afterlife, she is contacted by Gaea's companion, Jolie, herself the sometime consort of Satan. Together, Orlene and Jolie seek out and are joined with Vita, a contemporary mortal with her own share of troubles, her own compelling attractions and her own unsettling moral code.

In a world where the Incarnation of Good seems to have fallen asleep, these three extraordinary women form a triumvirate and pursue a great quest that takes them through a succession of trials as numerous and mysterious as the Incarnations themselves. As the very fiber of their beings is tested, their souls become the proving ground for ultimate, eternal questions of good, evil and divinity.

Refugee

Though he was later accused of every crime and sexual perversion in the galaxy, Hope Hubris began as an innocent. Because he defended his older sister against the violent lusts of a wealthy scion, Hope and his peasant family were forced to flee Callisto, one of the moons of Jupiter. Pursued by bloodthirsty scions across the airless desert, they barely escaped with their lives. The illegal space bubble was overcrowded with refugees, all hoping to reach Jupiter for asylum.

But the space travelers had not reckoned on the terrible threat of high space- the pirates, barbaric men who rape, rob, and murder, with no thought but to satisfy their bestial appetites. It will take all Hope's ingenuity to survive, but the atrocities he witnesses will never die. There is only one way he can be rid of them...Revenge!

Mercenary

He was driven by violent injustice from his home moon of Callisto- and set forth to claim the epic destiny that would blaze across worlds and time. He saw his family destroyed, his sister carried into sexual slavery, his beautiful lover killed- and he swore revenge against the murderous pirates who held the Jupiter planetoids in a stranglehold of terror.

Fired by raw courage, steeled by young might, he rose in the Navy of Jupiter to command a personal squadron loyal to death. And it was death they faced- against piratical warlords of the Jupiter Ecliptic who laughed at the young commander's challenge... until they met the merciless fury of the warrior who would annihilate all obstacles in his path to immortal renown as the Tyrant of Jupiter!

Politician

He awoke in a tiny lightless cell, groping for memory... memory that had been erased. Hope Hubris, Jupiter governor, progressive populist, warrior hero, and presidential candidate... a "mem-washed" tool of the enemy. And if his captors' plan worked, Hope would destroy his own political career, leaving the fate of his planet in the hands of its corrupt presidential incumbent- Tocsin.

But Hope Hubris had a destiny to fulfill. He had the cunning to discover code words that could reactivate his mind... the strength to resist addiction to their drugs... the power to win the support of his countrymen, and finally the courage to make an agonizing sacrifice that would ensure his planet's future and his own destiny...

Executive

He was shaping his times as no one before him had dared, mercilessly scourging an entire planet of crime and corruption wherever he found them- and destroying anyone who stood in his way. Absolute dictator of the United States of Jupiter, Hope Hubris was destined to become the most hated and feared man of an era, a tyrant charged with countless heinous acts and sexual cruelties. Yet justice remained his fiercest passion.

Now to insure his goals, Hope would assume an alternate identity and become a rebel- the brilliant leader in a revolution dedicated to his own overthrow. To fulfill his dreams he would sacrifice love... and plunge headlong into madness...

Statesman

Child of flame and terror, born and bred to violence, Hope Hubris had ruled the solar system's most powerful empire with a fierce, uncompromising passion. His was a white-hot flame of justice that scarred friend and foe alike. Yet now he left Jupiter as an exile, his autocratic rule overthrown by the one person he could not oppose.

Deposed, disgraced, but forever unbroken, the tyrant's greatest hour was still to come. For only he could shoulder the burden of humanity's boldest dream: to leave the confines of the solar system- and journey outward to the stars...

The epic of Hope Hubris comes to a blazing climax!

Isle of Woman

A magnificent saga of passion, heroism, and survival, Isle of Woman is a tale like no other ever written. It is nothing less than the story of humanity itself, from its savage origins to its troubled future, told through the lives of one family reborn throughout history.

At once grand in scope and intimate in human detail, Isle of Woman tells the story of a man and a woman born at the dawn of human history, separated by fate, yet united by an unquenchable passion that even time could not conquer: Blaze, the fire worker who raised his kind out of savagery, and Ember, the beautiful green-eyed woman who forever haunted his dreams.

Shame of Man

A magnificent epic of danger, desire, triumph and tragedy, Shame of Man is nothing less than the story of humanity itself. It is the story of two lovers reborn throughout history - Hugh, a dreamer and musician, and his beloved Ann, a beautiful dancer - as they struggle to preserve their family and their way of life during some of the most turbulent periods of our savage past - and our troubled future. Through their eyes we experience humanity's greatest achievements, and witness it's greatest shame, the relentless exploitation of nature that now threatens our very survival.

Hope of Earth

Anthony brings us as stirring epic that ranges from our ancient beginnings in Africa's Great Rift Valley to the windswept Andes a century from now, and includes some of history's most fascinating figures-- the mysterious "Ice Man" of the Swiss Alps, the decadent King Herod, the British Warrior Queen Boudica, the Mongol Chieftain Tamurlane, and King Louis XIV of France.

Exciting, imaginative, and inspiring, Hope of Earth is the story of a group of heroic men and women, bound by ties of passion, honor, and blood, who struggle to transcend our violent past and forge a new shining future.

Across the Frames:

Dragon's Gold

It was known as the Prophecy of Mouvar the Magician--as mysterious as it was famous--and Kelvin Knight Hackleberry seemed destined to fulfill it.

Born of an Earth father, John Knight--long vanished and presumed dead--and Charlain, who dwelt in the kingdom of Rud, Kelvin began his adventures for the most practical of reasons: the tax collectors of Queen Zoanna were threatening to evict his family from their home, so he and his sister Jon set out to find some of the legendary dragon scales of gold.

But the Queen and her uncle, the powerful wizard Zatanas, were determined to crush all opposition to their reign of cruelty. And when Kelvin joined with the rebel forces sworn to overthrow Zoanna, the tyrants drew upon their magic and sent dragons to destroy the young warrior and his allies.

That spell-sent horde was only the first of many challenges the round-eared hero would have to face. For Rud was linked with numerous versions of itself, and only by defeating the evil forces in each of those realms--not just dragons, but serpents, chimaerae and other grave perils--could Kelvin hope to rescue his family from imprisonment and execution...and win peace for all the worlds.

Final Magic:

Worries about their many powerful foes--chief among them the evil witch Zady, aunt of Queen Zoanna--were temporarily put aside as Kelvin, his wife Heln, and their children prepared for the Convention of the Order of the Benign Wizards and Witches, an enclave which took place only once each century. But Zady and her mentor, the even more malevolent Professor Devale, were not about to miss an opportunity to wreak havoc. And Kelvin was their first target.

Gifting Kelvin's children with cloaks of invisibility, then inciting them to steal magics at the Convention, they launched a campaign designed to lead Kelvin and the Confederation of kingdoms he'd helped to create into all-out war with the orcs of Ophal. A war Zady was certain they could never win. And that was but one of Zady and Devale's strategies for crushing Kelvin and his multidimensional realm.

Aided by the Malignant Witch and Warlock Society, Zady was already building an army for a war that would set orcs against orcs, humans against humans, and wizards against wizards. Even more diabolically, she cast a spell on Kelvin's third child, Horace the dragon--a spell which made him see all his friends as enemies, and all his enemies as friends.

What hope remained for the future of the united kingdoms?
