Anne McCaffrey, Author of The Dragonriders of Pern. SERIES: 2nd in series. SYNOPSIS: TALENT SEARCH. As director of the Jerhattan Parapsychic Center, telepath Rhyssa Owen coordinated the job assignments for psychically gifted Talents. And though she had her hands full dealing with the unreasonable demand for kinetics to work on the space platform that would be humankind's stepping-stone to the stars, she was always ready to welcome new Talents to the Center. Feisty and streetwise, twelve-year-old Tirla used her extraordinary knack for languages to eke out a living in the Linear developments, where the poor struggled to make ends meet and children were conscripted or sold into menial work programs. Young Peter, paralyzed in a freak accident, hoped someday to get into space where zero gravity would enable him to function more easily. Both desperately needed help only other Talents could provide. With the appearance in her life of one extraordinary man with no measurable Talent at all, Rhyssa suddenly found herself questioning everything she thought she knew about her people. And when two Talented children were discovered to have some very unusual--and unexpected--abilities, she realized that she would have to reassess the potential of all Talentkind. Between her frequent appearances in the United States and England as a lecturer and guest-of-honor at science-fiction conventions, Anne McCaffrey lives at Dragonhold, in the hills of County Wicklow, Ireland, with assorted horses, cats, and a dog. Of herself, Ms. McCaffrey says: "I have green eyes, silver hair, and freckles--the rest changes without notice." Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Ex-Library.

SYNOPSIS: THE ULTIMATE TEST Somewhere, eons past, the Seekers had begun as weapons--cyborg war machines. Nuclear explosions and powerful lasers meant little to them, for each was larger than ten battleships and subsisted on a diet of heavy metals, preferably radioactive. Nothing was known of the Seekers' creators, for their expansion into space had failed. Their cyborgs ate them. Soon the Seekers had begun their own Lifeburst into space, flying to nearby stars, evolving, hiving, eating but always destroying the native life. Such was their way. Eventually, a Seeker queen sought refuge in the asteroid belt of the Solar System. She was huge, mean, hungry, and very pregnant. And all that stood between her and the total destruction of Man were a handful of the Seekers' most recent victims and a young man with an unproven secret weapon. Jack Williamson began writing science fiction in 1928, before it got that name. With time out for service as an Army Air Force weather forecaster during World War II and a more recent career as a college English professor, he has devoted his life to science fiction, and he says he has no regrets. A Southwesterner, he was born in Arizona of pioneering parents who took him to a Mexican mountain ranch before he was two months old, moved from there to Pecos, Texas, and then, the year he was seven, brought him by covered wagon to the Staked Plains of eastern New Mexico, where he and his wife, Blanche, still live. The best known of his thirty-odd novels is probably The Humanoids. He has been honored by the Science Fiction Writers of America with their Grand Master Nebula Award, and he has served for two terms as president of the organization. He taught one of the first college courses in science fiction and has edited a guidebook for science fiction teachers. Now retired from teaching, he writes on a word processor. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.

SYNOPSIS: He masterminded the international intelligence network that halted the Nazi juggernaut. Sir William Stephenson, the man called Intrepid, and his astonishing activities are the subject of this book. Because he sought anonymity, held no military rank and wore no uniform after 1918, he never publicly displayed the decorations and medals awarded to him. He holds the (British) Military Cross, Distinguished Flying Cross, 1914-1915 Star, General Service Medal, World War I Victory Medal; (French) Commander of the Legion of Honor, (Belgian) Croix de Guerre with Palms; (U.S.) Presidential Medal for Merit (Sir William was the first non-American to receive this decoration); (British) The Badge of Knighthood. William Stevenson, no relative of Sir William despite the similarity of their names, is a Canadian, although born in England. He is a distinguished journalist, having been a foreign correspondent and bureau chief for British and Canadian newspapers. More recently he has been a television writer and producer and is, as well, the author of seven previously published books. His most recent journalistic achievement was 90 Minutes at Entebbe, the dynamic account of Israel's stunning rescue mission. He was a naval flyer during World War II and met Sir William on special assignment to intelligence. They have remained fast friends ever since, and Sir William entrusted his unique and invaluable files to William Stevenson with complete authority and discretion to write this selective narrative.

SYNOPSIS: In the Fifties, he was an agent for J. Edgar Hoover's "Top hoodlum Program". He masterminded the first electronic surveillance of a Mafia headquarters. Sam Giancana put a $100,000 contract on his life. Now, Bill Roemer, the FBI crime expert who's had more face-to-face confrontations with mobsters than anyone in law enforcement history, tells his electrifying life story. From his key role in the lives of John and Robert Kennedy, Frank Sinatra, Phyllis McGuire, and Marilyn Monroe, to the run ins with Anthony "Tony Batters" Accardo, Murray "The Camel" Humphreys and Jackie Cerone that made him the nemesis of the Chicago mob, here is a chillingly authentic account that ranks as one of the finest chronicles in true crime. William F. Roemer, Jr., earned a law degree from Notre Dame University after receiving his undergraduate degree there and serving a stint in the Marines. After his retirement from the FBI in 1980, he opened an investigative agency specializing in organized-crime related issues. He is a consultant for the Chicago Crime Commission and has testified before the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigation regarding the history of the Mob.

They were little green men, but with a difference.and what a difference! ALSO KNOWN AS: A short version of this story was published in Astounding Science-Fiction, September, 1954. SYNOPSIS: THEY WERE GREEN. THEY WERE LITTLE. THEY WERE BALD AS BILLIARD BALLS AND THEY WERE EVERYWHERE. Luke Devereaux was a science-fiction writer, holed up in a desert shack waiting for inspiration. He was the first man to see a Martian.but he wasn't the last! It was estimated that a billion of them had arrived - one to every three human beings on Earth - obnoxious green creatures who could be seen and heard, but not harmed, and who probed private sex lives as shamelessly as they probed government secrets. No one knew why they had come. No one knew how to make them go away - except, perhaps, Luke Devereaux. Unfortunately, Devereaux was going slightly bananas, so it wouldn't be easy. But for a science-fiction writer nothing was impossible. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
