Sir Walter Raleigh is a well-researched, highly readable biography of one of British history's pivotal figures. Said the author: "A life of Walter Raleigh inevitably is a history of England in Raleigh's time, for the man had something to do with practically every event of importance: social, military, naval, or political, while he was at court." Thus, an eventful history of an eventful life.

The alleys of Turgan were thin fingers of twisting darkness, writhing in an intricate pattern as they wended between the high walls of ancient houses. Old were these houses, old with the slow passage of a hundred thousand years, and they stared down at the sand-filled alleys with blank faces and the blind eyes of barred doors. Even in daylight it was hard to find a man in the maze of the old town, at night it was impossible and Fenris was glad...

Lester del Rey was surely one of science fiction's most happily argumentative representatives, an authority on a variety of subjects far too wide to list, and with a command of language, agility of mind, and the total confidence to pass as an authority on any subject. In an odd way, this is what science fiction is all about-the ability to convince the reader, or the listener, of the absolute reality of total impossibilities. But of course, one...

The aliens were much better at their job than all the king's horses had been with Humpty Dumpty. First, they simply disassembled Edward Berner-tissue by tissue, nerve by nerve.

Sinew by sinew, cell by cell. But it was not the same Ed Berner. The new Ed Berner was strong...

But Helen Arcularis remained steadfast: her vision was of other worlds...

IT CAME FROM THE SEA- -huge, hairy, glowing, terrifying. On the beach, people gathered to stare-from a distance-at a creature unlike any they had ever seen. David, a young scientist, and his girlfriend, Joan, were among them. But David was not content with a distant look. At sundown, when the crowd had gone, David and Joan returned.
