THE WARRIOR OF TWO WORLDS

In the world called Yuulith, on the other side of the secret cross-dimensional gate, Curtis Macurdy had led a mighty army, becoming known to his faithful warriors as an invincible mystic warrior, the Lion of Farside. But Macurdy was always at heart a farmer, like his ancestors, and after the war he returned to Earth, hoping that fate would permit him to till his ancestral soil in peace. But the Second World War was casting a long, dark shadow over Macurdy's hopes.

Hitler's obsession with the occult has led to a secret Mazi project for recruiting people with paranormal abilities, abilities that have proven all too real. One of the recruits has discovered the Bavarian Gate, and on the other side of it, the militaristic Voitusotar, with their potent psychic powers.

An alliance between the Nazis and the Voitusotar would mean certain victory for the Axis. Macurdy must infiltrate the Nazi project and find a way to destroy the Bavarian gate to Yuulith and end the danger to both worlds. But even the mental powers of the Lion of Farside may not permit Macurdy to survive his desperate mission....

SOMETIMES ARROGANCE 
IS A BIG MISTAKE ....

The Macurdies had been farmers for generations, and Curtis Macurdy would have been content to spend his life with his exotically beautiful wife Varia, earning a living by tilling his plot of land in the American Midwest. Varia was from Yuulith, a magical world separated from Earth by only a dimensional barrier that could sometimes be broached.

When her superiors in the Sisterhood demanded that she return to Yuulith, she-disobeyed-and so one day Macurdy came home and found that the Sisterhood had abducted Varia, taking her from Farside as they called our world, to Yuulith.

That was a big mistake. Macurdy may have seemed to be an ordinary farm, but this would not be the first time that under the surface of an unassuming landholder lurked a strategic genius of the highest order; and he would follow Varia across the dimensional barrier to get her back, even if he had to raise his own army and crush any nation or rulerwho stood in his way-and in the process become the invincible warload Makurdi, known to his followers as-

Peace—If You Can Afford It

At the end of World War Two, Curtis Macurdy returns to Nehtaka, Oregon as a decorated veteran. He wants only to live life as it was before the war, with his wife, among friends. But he has an earlier history, a hidden, other-worldly past he dares not speak of. And now it begins to surface. Instead of peace, he faces suspicions, questions he dares not answer... and tragedy.

Bitter, Macurdy passes once again through a cross-dimensional gate, into the land called Yuulith, where his peculiarities are honored, not cursed. There he finds old friends, old enemies- and another war. If he is to have peace, he must pay for it, and the payments seem impossibly steep.

He starts his quest with a single ally, a bodhisattva named Vulkan, incarnate as a great-tusked, giant wild boar. And meanwhile, drawing energy from the solar winds, Macurdy's old adversary, Crown Prince Kurqôsz, prepares a doomsday weapon that goes far beyond anything Macurdy imagines.

AFTER THE APOCALYPSE

After Apocalypse it will take centuries for Earth to rebuild a civilization--violent, hard centuries in which only the strong and those they protect will survive. In the bloody world of the neovikings, a powerful telepathic tyrant named Kazi is moving west against Europe with an irresistible army of Orcs at his back. The only hope of peace for the rest of the world is for Nils Jarnhann, the Yngling, to infiltrate Kazi's forces and assassinate him.

But neither Nils nor Kazi are aware that men from a star colony established by Earth centuries ago are about to return from the stars--or whose side they will take in the coming clash. . . .

The Private Eye had a Mind of His Own

"An outstanding writer." —C. J. Cherryh

In an alternate time line, a breakthrough in basic physics has catapulted technology centuries ahead in only a few years. Everyday life has become very different, but crime always goes on, and criminals have found new ways to steal and murder and cover their tracks. It hasn't made life any easier for private eye Martti Seppanen, in a Los Angeles that Philip Marlowe would barely recognize.

Murder is still murder, but the weapon may be a bioengineered disease, the murderer may be someone who can control other people mentally, and the victim may be someone whose legal status as a human is in limbo, and whose existence is a government secret. But when Seppanen is on the case, it gets solved, with legwork, with muscle, and often with the help of some unusual friends-one of them much more than a friend-with their own very unusual mental powers.
