Shakespeare's Planet -- ISBN: 0345298705 -- Copyright 1976, Del Rey, First Ballantine Books Edition, Dec. 1982 -- 202 Pages . BRIEF SUMMARY - Here's a fellow traveler, Carter Horton, who is the last of his kind. His 3 companions all died in hibernation during their 1,000-year journey from Earth. But Horton's new home held all sorts of surprises. First, there was an alien named Carnivore who claimed to have learned English from Shakespeare! Then also, there's a defective tunnel from the stars that allowed people - well, creatures really - a one-way access to the planet. Horton's encountered a dragon in aspic - and a very odd, curved hill. All are stuck on this dead-end planet because the star-tunnel is locked. And, of course, there was the terror that froze minds - at regular intervals. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2. Special Deliverance -- ISBN: 0345291409 -- Copyright 1982, First Edition Del Rey, Ballantine Books, Dec. 1982 -- 217 Pages BRIEF SUMMARY - It all started when Professor Lansing wanted to know which of his students surprisingly wrote a great term paper on Shakespeare. He learned a student had bought it from a slot machine! Investigating, the professor found the machine, which gave him 2 keys, & sent him in search of other slot machines. The 3rd machine transported him to a strange new world. Here he meets up with an odd assortment of fellow travelers - including an official Brigadier, a pompous Parson, an engaging Engineer, a Poet, and a caretaker Robot. All are as mystified as he is about the mysterious place they are at. Plucked from their own timelines, they are players in a game - without rules & without a goal. Thus began an extraordinary quest of unwilling adventures, leading to an immense, featureless blue cube. They enter into an ancient, cryptic city with even stranger worlds - and a life-or-death challenge. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3.

Someone with enormous quantities of cash was buying houses & tearing them down - also buying stores & closing them. Then a newsman learns of these alien 'balls' that could take any form, and are acquiring the Earth's resources. A few people could have stopped the panic. They could have said that the Earth was being taken over by ruthless aliens who walked like men. In fact, they did say it. The trouble was, no one believed them until it was too late. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FREE 4.

BRIEF SUMMARY - Out of their minds, and with the force of their imaginations, humans have created countless beings - from demons and monsters of legend, to comic-scrip characters. What if these worlds were real - if dragons, devils and Don Quixote hobnobbed with Dagwood Bumstead and Charlie Brown? Such a world would have its fascinations - and its dreadful perils, IF it existed. There's a newsman hunted by werewolves, dinosaurs, sea serpents, and other creatures from human imagination - and no one will tell him WHY this is happening! Meet Horton Smith, who found out that this unusual world did indeed exist. He should know, because he was right in the middle of it! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5. Highway of Eternity -- ISBN: 0345324978 -- Copyright 1986, Del Rey, First Ballantine Mass Market Edition -- Table of Contents -- June 1988 – 294 Pages.BRIEF SUMMARY - It all began simply enough. A client had vanished, and Jay Corcoran went to investigate the man's empty hotel suite. But Jay's "trick vision" spotted the room-sized box stuck to the outside wall of the suite. There was no way to get into the box, so Jay cabled his long-time pal Boone. Boone had an unusual talent. When threatened, he could "step around a corner" into some other world. Boone stepped into the box, taking Jay with him. It turned out to be a time-travel machine that transported them back to 1745 England - where they found a family of refugees from a million years in the future. For more than a century, the family had hidden in their time bubble. All are fleeing super-advanced humans who have transcended into pure thought. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. 6.

Many years have passed since humankind intentionally destroyed its treacherous technology. They then chose to revert back to a primitive tribal state. In this society, the rusting brain-cases of inactive robots are considered trophies. The scant knowledge that has survived is only given out to an inquisitive few within monastery universities. It is at one such learning center that Tom first reads of the legendary "Place of Going to the Stars" rumored to exist somewhere in the western land. Driven by a persistent desire to uncover this myth, Tom sets out on an amazing trek. He is accompanied by odd companions: A group of stalking shadows, a hilltop witch, a shivering ghostlike snake, and the last remaining robot. But all the astonishing discoveries & dangers they encounter along the way will pale before the revelations that await them at journey’s end. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 7.
