Even in Space . . . Nature Finds a Way. After a wrong turn into a black hole, the last hope for humanity crash lands on planet 58-B, a lush land where life is short and brutal for any but the most badass. War rages on between the raptors and a race of part-scorpion, part-humans known as the Skjerdals. Conflicts between members of the sex-crazed crew run high as hearts are broken and heads decapitated. Will humanity's last hope ever get off of this planet, or is humanity's last stand to be taken sitting down? And what ancient horrors are the raptor shamans trying to raise with their strange wicker doll? The answers to these questions, and many others that you don't want to know the answers to, can only be answered by the GODS OF THE JUNGLE PLANET!

Bounty hunters race to find a powerful psychic in this classic science fiction adventure by the award-winning author of Soothsayer. People across the galaxy have feared Penelope Bailey ever since she was a child. She has the power to see the future and manipulate events—and minds. Governments and criminals sought to control her, and hundreds of bounty hunters like the Iceman once tried to capture her. But Penelope eluded them all and disappeared . . . Fourteen years later, the Iceman now runs a tavern. He spends most days listening to customers’ tales of adventure and idle gossip, until one day, a visitor arrives with quite a story to tell. She is Penelope’s mother and would like the Iceman to retrieve her daughter from the planet Hades. Of course, it is a task easier said than done. Soon an assassin, a secret agent, and an outlaw cyborg are searching for the missing psychic. And they must all figure out how to handle a target who can predict their every step . . . Perfect for readers of Alan Dean Foster, Timothy Zahn, and Joe Haldeman “One of those rare novels that pulls you in so quickly and effectively that you’ll end up reading it in a single sitting.” —Science Fiction Chronicle

This trio of early short novels by Grand Master Robert Silverberg is straight-up pulp science fiction at its finest As a young man, Robert Silverberg was a science fiction prodigy, turning out top-flight stories in the blink of an eye. Though written quickly, Silverberg’s early prose already showed evidence of the literary and imaginative qualities that would make him a giant in the field. Here are three of his best early works. In The Planet Killers, after Earth’s supercomputer calculates that the inhabitants of the planet Lurion will destroy Earth in sixty-seven years, Roy Gardner is sent to stop them—by any means necessary. In The Plot Against Earth, Special Investigator Lloyd Catton’s efforts to crack a ring of “hypnojewel” traffickers uncovers a galaxy-wide conspiracy. And in One of Our Asteroids Is Missing, when miner John Storm stakes claim to an asteroid with a king’s ransom of rare minerals, he’s set for life—or would be, if his discovery didn’t also mark him for death.
