Anasazi Exile

Eric G. Swedin

Anasazi Exile

Archeology wasn't supposed to get him killed. For two decades, Harry Deacon had served as a skilled and loyal soldier, and it'd cost him his marriage and many dead friends. His new career of digging for artifacts and esoteric knowledge seems safe enough–until he finds an Anasazi tomb in Chaco Canyon that shouldn't be there. Only hours after Harry emails news of his discovery to a fellow archeologist at a conference in Scotland, she and her students are murdered–and Harry and his...

Triad

There was something strange about Ann Bonney's mission to the unexplored world called Chameleon. Though only women were judged fit for space, Earth's Central Computer had for some reason placed a man among them … an artist who was not docile like other men.

There, in the heart of an alien wilderness, Gia would defy her culture...

The Man from Hell

The Man from Hell

This volume collects four classic tales from the SF pulp magazines by a master of the genre! THE MAN FROM HELL… From top to bottom the Brant Building became insubstantial, like the illusion of a dream world.

Its very foundations changed to cavernous...

The Paradox of the Sets

The final contact made by the Daedalus Mission begins badly, even before the ship makes a hard landing in the middle of nowhere.
