.

If at Faust You Don’t Succeed

The last Millennial contest between the forces of Good and Evil for control of the universe didn’t work out quite so well for Evil and its rooters. But it’s time for the next round, and this time the demon Mephistopheles is carrying the ball for the forces of Darkness. But all is not as it seems. The harried archdemon mistakenly signs up a medieval cutpurse names Mack the Club, thinking him the learned Dr. Faust. The demon Azzie, still stinging from the Evil’s last defeat and not being chosen to head the current effort, takes events into his own claws. And the pious angel Michael well, let’s just say some of his tactics in the titanic struggle to come are not quite cricket…
.

A Farce to Be Reckoned With

On a devilish sabbatical in Europe, Azzie discovers that morality plays are all the rage. He decides to strike back by producing an ‘immorality play’, in which seven nondescript human pilgrims will be allowed by magic to attain their hearts’ desires. But the forces of Good are determined to close the play before it opens. New characters suddenly start roaming the stage, such as a Grateful Dead listening Cyclops, and Azzie’s own protagonists begin changing their hearts’ desires on the slightest whim. This is one theatrical production that could do without an angel and there’s even worse news waiting in the wings…

When four large blue cats with psychic powers come aboard an interstellar luxury cruiser, a rash of murders breaks out.

Chess With A Dragon (By:David Gerrold)

This Immortal / …And Call Me Conrad

Conrad Nomikos has a long, rich personal history that he’d rather not talk about. He has also been given a job that he’d rather not do. Escorting an alien grandee on a guided tour around the shattered remains of Earth after a catastrophic nuclear war is not something he relishes. Especially when it it rapidly becomes clear that he is at the centre of high level intrigue that could determine the future of Earth itself. But Conrad Nomikos is a very special guy and he’s been around for a very long time.

The Dream Master / He Who Shapes

Charles Render is a shaper, one of a small number of psychotherapists qualified, by his granite will and ultra stability, to use the extraordinary device that enables him to to participate in, and control, his patients’ dreams. But this is a dangerous therapy for the therapist and only his armour plated integrity protects Render from too deep an involvement in the mental worlds of the damaged people he seeks to help. But then, Eileen Shallot, another therapist who is blind, asks him to help her ‘see’ by transferring from his mind to hers a world of colour and light. Render agrees but suddenly finds himself obsessed with Eileen and drawn into fantasies which, she controls.

Lord of Light

Imagine a distant world where gods walk as men, but wield vast and hidden powers. Here they have made the stage on which they build a subtle pattern of alliance, love, and deadly enmity. Are they truly immortal? Who are these gods who rule the destiny of a teeming world? Their names include Brahma, Kali, Krishna and also he who was called Buddha, the Lord of Light, but who now prefers to be known simply as Sam. The gradual unfolding of the story how the colonization of another planet became a re enactment of Eastern mythology is one of the great imaginative feats of modern science fiction.

Damnation Alley

Across a United States all but destroyed by war and characterized by violent storms and giant bats and snakes, men embark on a seemingly doomed mission to deliver an antiserum to plague ridden Boston.

Creatures of Light and Darkness

Two gods, two houses, one quest, and the eternal war between life and death To save his kingdom, Anubis, Lord of the Dead, sends forth his servant on a mission of vengeance. At the same time, from The House of Life, Osiris sends forth his son, Horus, on the same mission to destroy utterly and forever The Prince Who Was a Thousand. But neither of these superhuman warriors is prepared for the strange and harrowing world of mortal life, and The Thing That Cries in the Night may well destroy not only their worlds, but all mankind. As Zelazny did with the Hindu pantheon in the legendary, groundbreaking classic Lord of Light, the master storyteller here breathes new life into the Egyptian gods with another dazzling tale of mythology and imagination.

Deus Irae (With: Philip K. Dick)

In the years following World War III, a new and powerful faith has arisen from a scorched and poisoned Earth, a faith that embraces the architect of world wide devastation. The Servants of Wrath have deified Carlton Lufteufel and re christened him the Deus Irae. In the small community of Charlottesville, Utah, Tibor McMasters, born without arms or legs, has, through an array of prostheses, established a far reaching reputation as an inspired painter. When the new church commissions a grand mural depicting the Deus Irae, it falls upon Tibor to make a treacherous journey to find the man, to find the god, and capture his terrible visage for posterity.

Coils (With: Fred Saberhagen)

A new entity is being born. Its cells are microprocessors, its soul lives in data banks from Wall Street to Red Square. It is neither good nor evil. But it is very dangerous. The Angra Oil Corporation thinks it is just another resource to be used up…
. Coils: The story of a man and a woman trapped in the battle between a soulless corporation and the soul of a new machine.

A Night in the Lonesome October

Zelazny manages to cleverly combine Jack the Ripper, Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Frankenstein, and Dracula together with witches, werewolves, druids and many others in this amusing tale of an approaching confrontation that, on the Halloween of a full moon, will change the cosmic balance of power between good and evil. Told through the eyes of Snuff, Jack’s guard dog, who performs magical calculations in addition to accompanying his master on collecting expeditions into 19th century London. Twists and turns of magical espionage and adventure unfold as this unforgettable tale plays out over the course of 31 lonesome nights in October.

Wilderness (With: Gerald Hausman)

Two larger than life men of the West John Colter and Hugh Glass define the spirit of wilderness survival, pushing their minds and bodies to the limit as they each narrowly escape the obstacles of nature and the threats of the western frontier.

Donnerjack (With: Jane Lindskold)

In our world, called the Verite, he is a Scottish laird, an engineer, and a master of virtual reality design. In the computer generated universe of Virtu, created by the crash of the World Net, he is a living legend. Scientist and poet with a warrior’s soul, Donnerjack strides like a giant across the virtual landscape he helped to shape. And how he has bargained with Death himself for the return of love. The Lord of Entropy claimed Ayradyss, Donnerjack’s beloved dark haired lady of Virtu, with no warning, leaving a hole in the Engineer’s heart. But Death offered to return her to him for a price: a palace of bones…
and their first born child. Since offspring have never before resulted from any union of the two worlds, Donnerjack accepts Death’s conditions and leads his reborn lover far from the detritus and perpetual twilight of Deep Fields to his ancestral Scottish lands, hoping to build a sanctuary and a self for Ayradyss in the first world. But there is no escaping, because cataclysmic change is taking place in Virtu. A bizarre new religion is sweeping through this ever shifting universe where the homely can be virtually beautiful, the lame can walk and the blind can see. Now it’s threatening to spill over into Verite. And its credo is a call for a different kind of order. For all the ancient myths still occupy Virtu. And the Great Gods on Mt. Meru are amassing great armies in anticipation of the time when a vast computer system attempts to take over the reality that constructed it. The House of Donnerjack, itself responsible for so much Virtuelle growth, is now responsible for preventing more as John D’Arcy Donnerjack and Ayradyss, each in their own way, must guard and guide aprecious, impossible legacy from Death and after death. For the Engineer and his beloved Angel of the Forsaken Hope have produced their greatest creation, one coveted by the Lord of the Lost for some incomprehensible purpose; one that will play an integral part in the future moldi

Psychoshop (With: Alfred Bester)

Half finished upon Bester’s death, and completed by Zelazny, ‘Psychoshop’ envisions a commercial establishment that attracts customers ranging from Edgar Allan Poe to a sorcerer intent on fabricating the Beast of Revelations.

Lord Demon (With: Jane Lindskold)

The great wars between gods and demons began five millennia ago and ended with the demons’ crushing defeat and banishment from their homeland. The demon race would have surely perished in the empty dimension of their exile had they not found a secret conduit to a safe and hidden plane…
called Earth. Greatest among the demons was Kai Wren the Godslayer and Lord Demon a master swordsman, dreamer, and glassblower who can contain entire universes in bottles of his creation; a legendary warrior who once, long ago, singlehandedly destroyed a god. But now, Kai Wren must seek vengeance for the murder of his devoted human servant, and he fears that this one death heralds the crumbling of a peace that has reigned for a thousand years. Forced into a series of uncomfortable alliances, Kai Wren strives to preserve the Demon Realms. But his heart has become his fatal weakness, growing soft during years of peace. He has given trust where trust should not be given, only to discover that among his closest companions are those who will betray him even destroy him unless he can regain that which once made him LORD DEMON.
