An afterlife mixup sends a good man to Hell When Peter ends up in that long tunnel and endures a review of his life, he’s slated to go to Paradise. Instead, the afterlife machinery reverses, spitting him out into a wasteland of scrub brush and darkness. This is not Paradise In fact, the residents call it Hell Reduced to Stone Age technology, Peter and the last remaining humans struggle to survive against hellhounds and monster men. Beyond an uncrossable sea lies what appears to be a sunlit realm of fruit trees and birds, taunting them in their darkness and deprivation. Peter’s only hope of reaching that place would be the legendary Sleepers, warriors lying in state a mile beneath the mountains. The network of caves is guarded by a murderous phantasm, though, and she hungers for vengeance. To plumb the mountain’s heart and free the captives, Peter will have to fight the most devastating creature Hell has to offer.

A deadly cargo is hidden on an even deadlier world. Stellar Patrol Ranger Taigue Murchu has to track down a band of drug-runners before they unleash their toxic contraband on an unsuspecting population. The war-torn Federation has no resources to hunt the pirates and even fewer to confront them if they did, so it’s up to the under-funded and under-manned, not to mention the universally disliked, Stellar Patrol. The most likely drop-point for the contraband is Ruby, a frozen planet with a devastating history. No one goes there except smugglers and scientists. Enter Dr. Banna Lis, an archopologist with her eyes on one prize, the excavation of Ruby’s long-dead civilization. When Taigue conscripts her to include him on her dig, working undercover as an assistant, sparks fly. But once the pair discover the pirates have already infiltrated the planet, they’re going to have to work together both to protect the ruins and save millions of lives.

The Clone Wars are over, but for those with reason to run from the new galactic Empire, the battle to survive has only just begun. . . . The Jedi have been decimated in the Great Purge, and the Republic has fallen. Now the former Republic Commandos-the galaxy's finest special forces troops, cloned from Jango Fett-find themselves on opposing sides and in very different armor. Some have deserted and fled to Mandalore with the mercenaries, renegade clone troopers, and rogue Jedi who make up Kal Skirata's ragtag resistance to Imperial occupation. Others-including men from Delta and Omega squads-now serve as Imperial Commandos, a black ops unit within Vader's own 501st Legion, tasked to hunt down fugitive Jedi and clone deserters. For Darman, grieving for his Jedi wife and separated from his son, it's an agonizing test of loyalty. But he's not the only one who'll be forced to test the ties of brotherhood. On Mandalore, clone deserters and the planet's own natives, who have no love for the Jedi, will have their most cherished beliefs challenged. In the savage new galactic order, old feuds may have to be set aside to unite against a far bigger threat, and nobody can take old loyalties for granted.

The immortal space saga of the STAR COMMANDOS continues. In the fourth volume of this compelling and endearing adventure series, the STAR COMMANDOS journey to Mirelle of Eri, the dreaded Death Planet, to foil the conspiracy of a rogue pirate fleet. Yet the greatest danger isn't the pirates and their weaponry, but rather the plague of deadly fungus lying dormant in the caves of the watery planet, waiting for prey to consume with its flesh-eating spores. "The most suspenseful and nail-biting episode of the STAR COMMANDOS to date. Once you start it, you can't put it down! Absolutely electrifying!"—Robert E. Gelinas Author, The Mustard Seed For the War Prince Varn Tarl Sogan, the Death Planet is his greatest test-to return to the place where he witnessed first-hand the savage carnage of the fungus, and where many of the ships he formerly commanded still lie, only to be cannibalized and appropriated by space pirates, who themselves are unaware of the spores of death with which they might infect the ultrasystem if any are allowed to leave Mirelle of Eri alive. "Excellent SF Adventure!"—Andre Norton Journey with the STAR COMMANDOS through vast and ancient caverns, fording underground rivers, crawling through a chillingly tight labyrinth of tunnels, scaling chimney towers, and inching across thin ribbon ledges with danger around every turn. This mission challenges the COMMANDOS unlike anything they've faced before, testing their endurance and resolve to the point of sheer desperation.
