Carnosaur

John Brosnan

The world's most vicious predator is back-and he's got Company. Tyrannosaurus Rex, Deinonychus, Brachiosaurus, all have been loosed into the modern world by Jane Penward, the vengeance-hungry nymphomaniac wife of the man who cloned them. David Pascal is a small-time Journalist who gets his Chance to make it big by cracking the dino story. But the key to the truth carries a high price-it's held by Jane. Before she's through with David, the carnage created by the dinosaurs will spread for miles and climax in an apocalyptic battle between the primal monsters and all the technological forces that modern man can muster.

But can anything stand against the voracious prehistoric hunger of... Carnosaur.

Carnosaur

John Brosnan
Leroy Kettle

It stood over six feet tall and was the color of dried blood. It was absurdly reminiscent of some giant plucked bird, like an ostrich--but it had the head of a reptile. The partly opened mouth revealed rows of curved, pointed teeth. It was a walking impossibility--a creature that had died out sixty-five million years ago--but it was alive. And it wasn't the only one.

In a sleepy rural town, one man's dream had become everyone else's nightmare--and dinosaurs once more roamed the earth.

First published in 1984, six years before Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park, Harry Adam Knight's Carnosaur is a gory dinosaur-filled romp sure to delight fans of '80s paperback horror fiction.

The Russians, to further their plans for global domination.

A team of sadistic mercenaries hired to protect mammoth business interests.

And a British journalist, Christopher Maine, in search of a story - and the sinister truth.

Down on the ocean bed a giant submersible forages for hidden treasures. But then the forces of man and nature terrifyingly unleash disaster after disaster - until the survival of the world itself is at stake.

Skyship

John Brosnan

A giant airship over 2000 feet long, powered by a nuclear reactor. Carrying 400 passengers, as well as cargo, it's the first of a luxury fleet that could revolutionise long-distance travel.

The public must be convinced it is safe, but there are powerful groups determined to see the first flight become a spectacular disaster.

Michael Colino is hired to thwart sabotage attempts on the maiden voyage... and unless he can avert imminent catastrophe, America's biggest city will become a graveyard.

The Opoponax Invasion

John Brosnan

It's 2248, and in a society so electronically wired-up that everyone is obliged to be imprinted with their own personal circuitry, it takes a pretty sharp operator to beat the system.

Damned & Fancy

Damned & Fancy: Book 1

John Brosnan

Travis Thompson had been a hard-hitting investigative journalist. Now he wore blue tights and a bright red codpiece, and rode a horse around a world which resembled a second-rate medieval movie set. Jack the demon told him he'd been transported here by magic, but Travis knew it couldn't be real. Right? But whatever the truth, he had to find his way home. He hadn't even cancelled the milk. Mind you, the cross-dressing princess was very beautiful, and Travis supposed you could get used to goats' testicle stew if it was your basic diet for long enough...

Have Demon, Will Travel

Damned & Fancy: Book 2

John Brosnan

There's a naked succubus in his bathroom, a fairy tale princess in his kitchen and a foul-mouthed demon in his fridge; Travis Thomson thought that, having returned from Samella (don't ask), his troubles were all over - but discovers that most of them have accompanied him home from that fantasy land to his flat (except the horse, which has turned up in his garden). A whole mess of mishaps just waiting to happen...

But other problems have also arrived from Samella: the vampiric Prince Valerie and his sorcerer sidekick Damion have popped up in London's East End, eager for vengeance. Quickly acquiring a band of loyal followers who vaguely resemble the cast of a cockney soap opera, Prince Val and Damion discover the joys of living in a penthouse and robbing banks. Will they catch up with Travis and his companions before the Old Bill catch up with them?

Mothership: Book 1

Since the Day of Wonder, when all the electric lights stopped working, there have been rumors of unrest in the neighboring domains--and no one has seen any of the Elite, the ruthless technocrat class that have ruled Urba for centuries. What most of the inhabitants don't realize is that their world of Urba is actually a giant spacecraft, an ark built more than a thousand years ago to save as much of the Earth's population as possible before the sun went nova. The Elite were originally the ship's crew, but as the centuries passed, they became decadent, corrupt, and cruel, and the truth about Urba became hidden. And now Jad and the courageous Prince are about to find out what happened to the Elite--and what's happening to the people of Urba.

Its rebellion is swiftly crushed and Jan Dorvin, a Minervan warrior, is winched aboard a Sky Lord; towards a fate worse than death. For as a ground dweller and slave - but above all, as a woman - she is now regarded as the lowest form of humanity and is consigned to a life spent serving the sexual appetites of male slaves.

But no Minervan could be kept slave for very long.....

But not every Sky Lord is under her control. Now her enemies are learning that as much as they hate each other, the only way to survive is to join together in a colossal show of strength that not even the laser beams of a Sky Angel, a sentient computer program, or an uppity Minervan can resist.
