Ram Song - Sharon Webb

When humankind achieved immortality, there were some who rejected the gift. To preserve their creative fire, the men and women of Aulos, a colony world devoted to music, cut all contact with the worlds of men.

Now, after ten thousand years, strange beings from another timespace have broken the long silence, and the future of Aulos is threatened with destruction...

Earth Song - Sharon Webb

SONG OF REBIRTH

In finding immortality through the Mouat-Gari process, mankind lost its creative fire. Kurt Kraus, eldest of Earth’s immortals, gave each new generation a fateful choice--endless years of stagnation, or a brief lifetime filled with the flowering of genius. 

David Defour, a gifted young composer, was one who chose art over eternal life, to hasten the rebirth of science and culture. He shaped a new kind of music out of the memories of the Earth itself, a song humanity would take with it on its first journey to the stars.

Earth Child - Sharon Webb

MORTALITY’S END

It was called the Mouat-Gari process. It gave to all of Earth’s children man’s oldest dream--immortality. For Kurt Kraus, torn from his family, attacked and persecuted by a generation he was destined to see age and die before his eyes, the first years of eternal life were the hardest.

Hyperion - Dan Simmons

On the world called Hyperion, beyond the law of the [missing] there waits the creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all. On the eve of Armageddon, with the entire galaxy at war, seven pilgrims set forth on a final voyage to Hyperion seeking the answers to the unsolved riddles of their lives. Each carries a desperate hope--and a terrible secret. And one may hold the fate of humanity in his hands.

Space Viking - H. Beam Piper

THE SWORD WORLDS

For centuries the men of Durendal, Excalibur, Joyeuse, Flamberge, Haulteclere, and Gram have preyed on the soft and helpless inner worlds, and in a pattern as old as human history have built a new civilization from the wreckage of the old.

Only one Sword Worlder, Lord Trask of Trask, has spoken out against the continuing depredations--not from pity for the old, fallen worlds of the dead Federation, but from fear for his own. For more and more of the Space Vikings are refusing to return to their home planets, preferring instead to stay to enjoy the fruits of conquest; just as once the strongest and the brightest of the Federation forsook their home planets for adventure and profit, so too the Sword Worlds are being bled dry.

The Mind Cage - A.E. van Vogt

MIND RAPE

When David Marin regained consciousness, more than his clothes were changed. His hands were different, paler, thinner, His eyesight was weakened and his flesh tingled. Even his voice sounded foreign.

The body he faced in the mirror was not his own. His mind and nervous system were encased in scientist Wade Trask’s body, and nobody but Marin and Trask could ever know.

The Sins of the Fathers - Stanley Schmidt

THE NIGHT BEFORE NEVER

The Archaeopteryx was on an innocent enough mission. Propelled by the Rao-Chang drive, the revolutionary new ship journeyed back a hundred thirty years into space to observe the supernova effect in the great spiral galaxy M31. It was purely scientific research. Until Donald Lewiston, the mission’s astronomer, saw the anamoly[sic]--and went mad. When the ship returned to normal space and finally to earth, only Jonel Turabian, the Ship’s Mate, and the giant craft’s computers possessed the key to understanding Lewiston’s sudden insanity.

The Alien Debt - F.M. Busby

VANCE WAS APPALLED!

He swiveled awkwardly to peer through the glass partition to the van. Many men in CBW suits were back there, their hoods off. Vance could count another half-dozen wearing white, tight-fitting protective gloves on their hands and some sort of plastic envelope sagging about their necks. The interior of the van seemed spotlessly and medically clean, completely outfitted, obviously airlocked, and ready for just about any medical problem.

The oxygen tank of his CBW suit was forcing Vance into a severely uncomfortable position on the seat. He glanced at the driver to see how he was handling the problem, noted his oxygen tank slung from one shoulder only, and riding partly to one side. Vance fidgeted about to adjust his in the same manner. The vehicle swerved suddenly...

Vance was only then beginning to realize the immensity of the undertaking. With thousands undoubtedly already lying dead about the city and with probably many more thousands dying or seriously endangered, this was a game of blind man’s bluff with human lives handing in the balance.

...RETIREMENT PLAN...

In fourteen years with the Terran Intelligence Agency, Alain Cheney had been an exemplary agent. An accomplished telepath, he had never disobeyed an order, never failed an assignment, never performed at anything less than a level of supreme competence.

Now at thirty-eight his powers had become more acute than ever before. And because of this, because he was one of Earth’s top telepathic agents, his beautiful boss was going to find a killer with an unreadable mind--and have Alain Cheney murdered...
