Book Description
The planet was called Pyrrus, a strange place where all the beasts, plants and natural elements were designed for one specific purpose: to destroy man. The settlers there were supermen, twice as strong as ordinary men and with milli-second reflexes. They had to be. For their business was murder. It was up to Jason dinAlt, interplanetary gambler, to discover why Pyrrus had become so hostile during man's brief habitation. This omnibus contains all three novels in the Deathworld trilogy!

Beneath the twin suns Ellistar and Deneob, the Realm of Infinitera is menaced by the Dark One and his minions, the Illcreatures. And in these strange times has come a thing never seen before: a star which has tumbled from the sky, holding a power of evil even more dangerous than the Dark One himself.

Running before the storm, the doughty band must traverse the world, and learn the true nature of the Fallen Star, in order to stave off the Dark...

Book Description
Lieutenant Melora Pazlar, first seen in the Deep Space Nine episode that bears her name (Melora), is the only Elaysian in Starfleet. Stationed on board the USS Enterprise, six years after her short-lived romance with Dr Bashir, she receives a desperate call for help from her crystalline, multi-species homeworld. When subspace contact fails, Captain Picard sends the Enterprise to investigate, only to find the ship nearly torn apart by a dimensional rift and stranded, badly damaged, below the shields that protect the carefully constructed planet. With both escape and rescue impossible, Picard and crew set out to discover the cause of the rift and the strange, cancerous growth in the crystal choking the planet itself. A Federation ship attempts to reach the Enterprise but is destroyed, and when thoron radiation threatens to kill the crew, all signs on the planet point to sabotage...

Book Description
The planet was unknown¿ a savagely primitive place where every man had to kill every other man - or live as a slave. The inhabitants lived in the early Bronze Age one minute, and in the early Machine Age the next. Technology had degenerated into a number of mysteries jealously guarded by separate brotherhoods. But Jason dinAlt was a gambler. He realised that if he was ever going to get a winning hand in this game, the brotherhoods would need a shuffle¿

Book Description
The planet was called Felicity. The name was a joke except for those compelled to settle there. Inhabiting it were beings bred for thousands of years for a single purpose: to attack and kill. Jason dinAlt knew this, but he also knew the planet on which he lived was moving towards certain disaster. And, Felicity was the only spot in the universe where he and his companions could survive. He thought he had worked out the perfect plan. But what awaited him on Felicity went far beyond his wildest imagining.

Book Description
The Hades Galaxy is so far from Earth, its light hasn't even reached our most powerful telescopes. It's a strange place-familiar, yet different. A place where stars erupt at a moment's notice, planets crumble like glass, and the laws of physics push the limits of the impossible. It's also inhabited. Or it used to be. So how did Paul Johnson get from his grandpa's ranch in Montana to the shores of alien waters in a distant galaxy? How did he and millions of colonists become trapped there, with no hope of ever returning home? He did what men throughout history have done: he chased after a beautiful woman. And he got her. Sort of.The promise of land grants on virgin worlds and first contact with alien races are now in the rear-view mirror. Do battleships even have rear-view mirrors? Promoted out of turn, Paul leads a crack team of corporate marines in the fight to re-establish the Rift, the mysterious wormhole that joined Hades to the Milky Way. To make matters worse, Earth's largest corporations have engaged in an all-out free-for-all to control the new galaxy's plentiful-yet-very-alien resources. But Hades won't give up its secrets so easily. Menacing forces conspire to keep the human visitors from their aims, and possibly, from returning home.Fans of military sci-fi, space opera, and speculative physics will enjoy reading Hades' Star: Hostile Takeover. Think a cross between Star Trek and Starship Troopers. It's a story of alien worlds littered with technology, romance, action, mystery, and characters that will make you wish you could suit up right beside them and take the fight to the bad guys. The pace never slows in this throwback to the page-turning sci-fi of yore.
