A Tiempo Para Ti
by Chris Karlsen MARIA GLORIA GARCIA MENENDEZMientras cabalgan por el campo inglés, las hermanas Electra y Emily Crippen se encuentran atrapadas en una brecha en el tiempo. Arrojadas de vuelta a la Inglaterra de 1357 y capturadas por un noble local, están en un lugar que es su hogar pero tan aterrador y desconocido como lo sería un mundo alienígena. Sin tener idea de cómo se produjo el retroceso en el tiempo, lo único que saben es que deben permanecer juntas y cerca de donde ocurrió el suceso con la esperanza de descubrir el camino de regreso a su vida moderna. Esa cierta necesidad de permanecer juntas es la primera certeza que se les quita cuando una hermana se ve obligada a permanecer en Inglaterra y otra es enviada a kilómetros de distancia a Gales por orden real. Hay otra esperanza de ayuda que las hermanas no saben que existe. Es el amante de Electra, Roger Marchand. Un viajero del tiempo, nunca le contó su pasado. Cuando se da cuenta de lo que les ha pasado a las hermanas, solicita la ayuda de un amigo científico para que le ayude a abrir el presunto paso a través del tiempo. Cualquier esfuerzo para salvar a Electra y Emily probablemente le costará la vida. Esta fue la época de la que vino Roger, una época en la que su país, Francia, estaba en guerra con Inglaterra. Si es descubierto en suelo inglés mientras busca a las hermanas, lo matarán o lo harán prisionero de guerra. Cualquier riesgo merece la pena para salvar la vida de la mujer que ama.

by R. K. NarayanA venerable tiger, old and toothless now, looks back over his life from cubhood and early days roaming wild in the Indian jungle. Trapped into a miserable circus career as 'Raja the magnificent', he is then sold into films (co-starring with a beefy Tarzan in a leopard skin) until, finding the human world too brutish and bewildering, he makes a dramatic bid for freedom.

A Time Appointed
by John Russell Fearn Vargo StattenThirty-million miles out on her maiden voyage to Venus, the space liner Cosmic Cloud abruptly encounters a mysterious voice speaking through the void. The language is foreign - in fact completely alien - but one passenger succeeds in understanding enough to realise that danger threatens. Danger there is indeed! Hardly has a recording of the Voice been sent to Earth for expert interpretation before a mysterious gong is heard in the space liner, and it is followed by further nerve-shattering gonging notes at two-minute intervals. Then, without warning, the space liner is utterly destroyed. Such is the beginning of a space novel which develops swiftly into a narrative of a race against time - the story of three men and a girl who pit their intelligence and courage against the baleful power of a race of scientists long extinct, but who have left behind them a dreadful legacy which must, unless stopped in time, destroy the whole Solar System.

A Time Of Changes
by Robert SilverbergThree thousand years after Earth's colonization of the planet Borthan, stories of self-serving hypocrisy that occurred among the first arrivals have bred a culture that forbids emotional sharing and denies the naturally human concept of "self." The result is a lasting peace, but at a terrible price. <P><P> For it is a peace without love, without self, where even the mention of the word "I" is taboo. Spurred on by the arrival of an Earthman with a selfbaring drug, Kinnall Darival breaks the strict code of the Covenant to record the sordid details of his rebellious life from the days of his royal youth to self-appointed prophet of love. He begins his account with the greatest of heresies: "I am Kinnall Darival and I mean to tell you all about myself."<P><P> Nebula Award winner

by John VornholtThe Rashanar Sector, site of one of the fiercest battles of the Dominion War, now contains a vast intestellar graveyard littered with the hulks of hundreds of devastated starships. The destruction of so many warp drives has created a danger zone where the space-time continuum is distorted, and bizarre energies and anomalies are unleashed. To some, the former battleground is hallowed space. To others it is a scavengers' paradise, ripe for plunder, and the USS Enterprise is assigned to patrol it, protecting those engaged on legitimate salvage. But the ships' graveyard holds a deadly secret -- one that will force the android Data to make a heart-wrenching decision about the path his life will take, and will endanger not only the Enterprise, but Picard's very future in Starfleet.

Caught up in events outside their control, mistrusted even by their Starfleet companions, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his crew must struggle to win back their place of honour at the forefront of the Federation fleet. And if that were not enough to contend with, some of the crew have problems of their own. Chief among them is android Commander Data, who is forced to give up the chip which allowed him to access human emotions, the goal for which he has worked so hard and so long...

Struggling for years to make what had once been short-term mining settlements into suitable colonies for permanent civilization, eventually they succeeded all too well, and their thriving population is approaching critical mass. Now they must make a choice: to go on as they are on the crowded but functional asteroids or to give up all they have worked for in a desperate plan to rebuild their dead home planet. Their dilemma has brought them to the brink of civil war -- and into this volatile standoff comes the Enterprise, assigned a seemingly meaningless mission to chart this sector of space.

In the midst of this maelstrom of hatred and violence is the USS Enterprise-E, on a mission which is going from bad to worse. Captain Jean-Luc Picard -- a man still waging his own personal battle for redemption in the eyes of his commanding officers -- must somehow find a way to resolve the disaster and save the lives of his crew.
