In the tradition of Dr. Fu-Manchu, the Dragon Princess (Princess Yu-Malu) is ancient in age, but young and beautiful in form, vastly wealthy, and dedicated to the downfall of Western civilization. She's assisted by her Corps of Dragonflies, members of the Hung, a powerful secret society. The Princess desires a revolutionary new rocket formula developed by the West--and unless her demands are met, she will use her secret weapon to dissolve the world's gold supply into worthless dust! Only British Treasury agent Anthony Race and his assistant, Katrina Evans, can thwart Yu-Malu's fiendish plot. Previously published as Yu-Malu, the Dragon Princess, under the pseudonym Leslie Thane.
Morpheus the Mage has ventured into the Otherworlds from his home planet of Nova Europa to free a woman imprisoned halfway across the universe. But his real quest, as he discovers during his long journey, involves saving the cosmos itself, and restoring it once again to some semblance of balance. To do this he must find the four Elephant's Eggs, magical implements of an unknown nature and function. He learns that the present guardians--and possible creators--of the Eggs are the alien Pachyderms, whose world lies in the Chaos of the Sixth Circle. There he finds the first three Eggs, and manages with the help of his fellow-travelers to finally depart that place. But his greatest challenge is yet to come: discovering the Fourth Elephant's Egg--and figuring out how to use it! The thrilling conclusion to The Hypatomancer's Tale Trilogy. Michael R. Collings says: "A contemporary comic epic in prose, an extravagant Odyssey to the farthest reaches of the imagination."
This dramatization of the classic novel is the first of four parts. In 1815 Napoleon has fled to Elba, and the Bourbons have been restored to the French throne. Young Edmond Dantes is First Mate and Acting Capt. of the merchant ship Pharoah. Everything seems bright for his future, until he's arrested for delivering a letter to Elba--a dying request of his former captain. Then three men conspire to send the innocent youth to the notorious island prison, the Chateau d'If. There Dantes meets the Abbe Faria, who gives him an education, and tells him of a fabulous treasure he's discovered. But Faria suddenly dies, and Edmond must take advantage of the sudden opportunity, or risk being imprisoned for life. He sews himself into the Abbe's burial shroud. Can he survive the plunge into the sea? An absolutely riveting drama.
When an heiress is found murdered, corporate attorney Gail Brevard is assigned the case, despite her lack of experience in trying criminal matters. The suspect, 19-year-old Damon Powell, was found in front of the murdered girl's house, with the murder weapon--which belonged to his father--on the lawn nearby. He claims to have spent most of the night with another woman. The situation seems impossible: everyone--including the judge--wants to convict Damon Powell. Gail believes her defendant to be innocent--but can she prove it? A riveting courtroom drama, first in a series.
In this second novel of the trilogy, something is happening in the outer circles of the cosmos, something that is threatening to destabilize the equilibrium holding the universe together. The answer lies on the strange world of the Pachyderms out beyond the Fifth Circle--an almost impossible distance to traverse. These curious creatures are the guardians of the Elephant's Eggs--four magical implements that will give Morpheus the Mage the tools he needs to heal the cracks in space and time. But finding the Eggs is not enough... Michael R. Collings says: "With its two companion novels, The Pachyderms' Lament constitutes a contemporary comic epic in prose, an extravagant Odyssey to the farthest reaches of the imagination--and then home again to touch the essentials of the human heart."
They call them the "e;rat-catchers."e; They're the crew of the spaceship Daedalus, which an economically destitute Earth has dispatched on a mission to re-establish contact with its far-flung, long-lost colonies in space. Alex Alexander, the ship's biologist, together with his staff, must help solve the mysteries of human and alien ecosystems that he encounters light-years from home. Dendra is a stable world, covered by a huge, unchanging forest-except that nothing living can really be free of change. The planet has no seasons, but its animal life still undergoes life-cycles involving birth, maturation, metamorphosis, and death. The Earth colony sent to tame the world has failed, at least in the terms expected of it, and seems beyond redemption; but the crew of the Daedalus still has to find out exactly why and how the program has gone wrong. Provided, of course, that they can survive the investigation itself!
