Synopsis
The Five Gold Bands
The galaxy is full of wealthy planets and haughty aliens who guard the technology of interstellar travel. Earth must pay a price for use of the space drive, and this rubs Paddy Blackthorn the wrong way- so he sets out to steal the secret. The powerful Shauls capture and dump him on a barren planet- yet here he acquires five golden bands containing the very data he is after. The information is coded- and while Paddy solves the puzzle he must evade a galactic manhunt!
The Dragon Masters
The race of man is growing old, but it's not yet ready to die - not while there are dragons still to kill!
The cross-bred dragon armies of the Men of Aerlith are the most appalling horrors ever to threaten the sanity of our future:
Termagents ~ three hundred reptilian giants with six legs apiece, the most fecund breeders of them all
Jugglers ~ eighteen of them, growling amongst themselves, waiting for an opportunity to snap off a leg from any unwary groom
Murderers (striding and long-horned) ~ eighty-five of each, with scaly tails and eyes like crystals
Fiends ~ fifty-two powerful monsters, their tails tipped with spike steel balls
Blue Horrors, Basics, Spider Dragons.
