      "Twenty years ago, five master criminals known as the Demon Princes raided Mount Pleasant to enslave thousands of inhabitants in the lawless Beyond. Now Morwen Sabine, a daughter of captives, has escaped her cruel master and returns to Mount Pleasant to recover the hidden treasure she hopes will buy her parents' freedom. But Mount Pleasant has changed. Morwen must cope with mystic cultists, murderous drug-smugglers, undercover "weasels" of the Interplanetary Police Coordinating Company, and the henchmen of the vicious pirate lord who owns her parents and wants Morwen returned. So he can kill her slowly"-- Amazon

      During its 22 months of service beginning in July 1943, Germany's Panther tank proved more than a formidable opponent for superior numbers of Allied tanks and ground-attack aircraft amassed on both the Eastern and Western Fronts. Illustrated with archival photographs, color paintings, and diagrams, this history of the highly mobile and well-armed Panther spans the period from its conception through its production run of 5,500 by war's end. The book exhaustively explores the people and events behind the development and rushed production of the Panther and its variants, as well as the tank's evolving role and battle record in Germany's last ditch attempt to salvage victory. Key features of the Panther's design and layout are explained and illustrated, as are the tactics used by tank commanders in key battles.

      The Compleat Guth Bandar In Old Earth's penultimate age, humanity's collective unconscious has long since been fully explored and mapped by the noönaut scholars of the Institute for Historical Inquiry. But something is threatening the integrity - perhaps even the very existence - of the noösphere, and aspiring academic Guth Bandar finds his career plans diverted by a collective unconscious that appears to be waking up. The Compleat Guth Bandar brings together the full series of Bandar stories originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction and later assembled into a "fix-up" novel: The Commons.
