The alleys of Turgan were thin fingers of twisting darkness, writhing in an intricate pattern as they wended between the high walls of ancient houses. Old were these houses, old with the slow passage of a hundred thousand years, and they stared down at the sand-filled alleys with blank faces and the blind eyes of barred doors. Even in daylight it was hard to find a man in the maze of the old town, at night it was impossible and Fenris was glad...

For ten years, Colin sweated, slaved, and eventually built a nice business on a dusty world called Mars. Five more years and he'd have put all worry behind him. Ten more years and he'd have been able to retire a rich man. He didn't get those years. During a sandstorm, he blundered accidentally into the forbidden zone, where the temple of Dra Vheera waited and rested, an area guarded zealously to the death by a fanatical faith. The Martians com...

On several settled worlds of the Earth Confederation, towns had been utterly destroyed by attacking alien vessels-exploded into flaming ruin, and fleeing people reduced to smears of blood and bone. And so they sent for Captain Kurt Varl, the only man to have fought an alien ship and destroyed it-the only survivor from his crew of thirty souls. And now he would have to lead another ship and crew into battle, knowing that as well as the alien r...

WHO ARE THE WARBIRDS? Misfits mostly. Men who sought in the rush and tide of battle, an outlet for violent emotion. Society condemned them, yet admired their necessity. Cultures shunned them - yet gladly used their services. Wars there were, and wars there would be, but technology had forced war to become a thing apart. Nations, planets, dared not to fight. Gone were the days of indiscriminate killing. The dross from atomic piles was too plent...
