Cradle of the Sun - Humanity and intelligent rats are dying, having lost their will to live and fear. Kavan Lochlain, the last man capable of feeling fear, must travel to the Cradle of the Sun to save the world.

Wizards of Senchuria - Scobie Redfern was just a nice, good-looking American young man who had never heard of such things as Portals, parallel worlds, and Trugs. So when someone materialized in his apartment with the Trugs in hot pursuit, it all seemed sort of a funny game. But there was nothing amusing about it once the monsters themselves arrived.

For it wasn't long before Scobie was himself running for his life from world to world and from Portal to Portal just to keep one jump ahead of the Trugs, and hoping that the Wizards of show more Senchuria might, just might, be able to get him back home alive and whole! show less
