It looked as if Ethan Fortune was

the scientists detected an odd atmospheric phenomenon, things began to
heat up -- literally. Only Ethan could convince the primitive Tran
that the mysterious warm spot was worth the trip. Nothing could have
prepared them for what they encountered, for its like had not been
seen for thousands of years -- open water on the ice oceans of
Tran-ky-ky! But this was no natural phenomenon. If Ethan and crew of
the ice ship Slanderscree couldn't stop the process, soon Tran-ky-ky

Accompanied by his minidrag Pip & a most
troublesome alien called
Abalamahalamatandra -- Ab, for short -- Flinx set out for Alaspin,
Pip's homeplanet. There he hoped to find the giant man with the gold
earring who somehow held the key to Flinx's mysterious past. Chasing
down his heritage was trouble enough, but Flinx didn't know what real
trouble was until he realized that the Qwarm -- a deadly assassin race
-- were on his tail with a contract to kill. But Alaspin didn't offer
safety & Flinx had a terrible time just staying alive -- a matter
complicated to no mean degree by a collapsar already set on an
unstoppable death course across the galaxy
For millennia, the alien union called the Weave had been
at war with
the evil Amplitur. When its new elite fighting unit appeared, it
became frighteningly clear that Amplitur was subjecting humans to vile
genetic manipulations. The Weave could reverse the effects, but the
result could turn the former warriors into the most despicable
creatures in the galaxy
When Flinx found an unconscious woman on a
riverbank deep in the jungles of Alaspin, he took it in stride. When
he learned that she, Clarity Held, was a brilliant scientist abducted
from a remote outpost on Longtunnel by a group of eco-fanatic
assassins, he tried to help her back. Unfortunately, the assassins
were still at work. They'd do anything to stop the research, including
killing any being that got in their way

Howling Stones: A Novel of the Humanx Commonwealth (Cloth jan97)(Paper
jan98) Newly discovered planet of Senisran's a veritable
paradise. Its vast oceans dotted with thousands of lush islands
containing deposits of rare-earths & minerals. But Senisran's
also the Humanx Commonwealth's problem child, for each island's
inhabited by a different tribe of aboriginal natives whose customs
& tribal rites varied from island to island. Each had to be
negotiated with separately for mining rights, & the Commonwealth's
locked in a race against the vicious AAnn Empire to secure those
rights. Now the clans of the Parramat Archipelago on Senisran're
resisting entreaties by the Commonwealth & AAnn alike. So xenologist
& first-contact specialist Pulickel Tomochelor's dispatched from
Earth to handle this most sensitive & stubborn negotiation. More
comfortable with aliens than with his own species, & confident in his extraordinary
ability to communicate with them, Pulickel looked forward to a short
assignment & a triumphant return to Earth.
But he hadn't counted on the incredible secret of Parramat: the
strange green stones that the natives used to bless the crops,
ensure plentiful fishing, heal the injured & ill, & control the
weather. For within those stones lay an awesome technology the
origin of which was lost in time--a technology that had to be
kept from the AAnn at any cost. In his previous travels around
the planets of the Commonwealth, Pulickel
had seen many wonders, but never any like this. He had seen the
effects of evil on both beings & planets, but he never expected to
meet the very essence of evil face-to-face

nothing but obscurity. But even so he couldn't escape the attention
of a rich local bully determined to acquire the minidrag Pip for his
personal zoo. Flinx hoped to elude pursuit by fleeing randomly
into uncharted space--seemingly the only place he would find the peace
he craved. Instead, he made one of the most startling discoveries of
his life: a planet covered by jungle, miles deep, hosting an
incredible variety of plant & animal life, unknown &
deadly: Midworld, plus the people who inhabit it

verge of starting another war, and then eliminating Lalelang. At the
