A New SF Legend Re-makes Worlds!
"[T]houghtful, engaging characters and an intriguing vision of the future."
— Publishers Weekly on Nebula-award-winning Catherine Asaro's "Skolian Saga."
The full-length novel Earthblood by Keith Laumer and Rosel George Brown chronicles one man's struggle to find his destiny in a future where the very existence of Earth is a legend that few believe. According to the legends, Earth had fought a desperate war against the hostile aliens called the Niss, but had finally been defeated. This happened millennia ago and humanity had scattered across the galaxy. If Earth still exists, if it ever existed, its location has been lost through the ages. Roan had heard the legends, and even though he had been raised by a kindly alien couple, he knew that he was human—and nothing was going to stop him from finding his lost homeworld. Not even the conquering space fleets of the Niss.
Plus, for the first time in one volume, all of Keith Laumer's other stories of the alien Niss are included with Earthblood. Included as well are a generous assortment of stories by Rosel George Brown, who was a master of pointedly humorous adventure.
Science fiction adventure, ranging from the grim to the wildly comical, by two masters of the form.

A FEW YEARS AFTER TOMORROW,

Multiple New York Times and USA Today best-seller John Ringo delivers another rousing entry in his "Council Wars" saga!
"Marvelous!" — David Weber
"If Tom Clancy were writing SF, it would read much like John Ringo." —Philadelphia Weekly Press
It was the time of the Moon of the Three Rings when the Free Trader ship Lydis landed on the planet Yiktor and junior crew member Krip Vorlund visited a beast show. He was strangely attracted to the owner of the show animals, a delicate and mysterious woman named Maelen. Soon Krip was caught in a vicious struggle by powerful opponents over the fate of Yiktor—and he learned the nature of Maelen's sorcery when he found his mind trapped in the body of a wolflike creature.
Krip would again inhabit a human body—though not his own—and on a second planet, Thoth, he and the crew of the Lydis would be drawn into a battle between ancient powers and nameless evil. Only Maelen the Moon Singer could save them with her superhuman powers—if she didn't bring death and destruction instead. . . .
Publisher's Note: Moonsinger was originally published in parts as Moon of Three Rings and its sequel, Exiles of the Stars. This is the first time the complete saga has appeared in one paperback volume.
"Exciting and adventuresome."—Library Journal
"The primitive world of Yiktor . . . will be entered most receptively by readers . . . the singing prose rings with the cadence of legendary literature."—The Horn Book
