titles available:


     FLIES FROM THE AMBER (Roc, paperback, $7 shipping included)

          A starship from earth travels to the backwater colony of Malhela to
          investigate an unusual mineral, "centrokrist," found in the debris
          field surrounding an ancient black hole.  The Terran scientists may
          get more than they bargained for, though; deep inside the time-
          dilated gravitational strata lie active alien artifacts -- and
          they're coming out.

          "Easily the best book about the implications of relativity since
           Robert Forward's classic THE DRAGON'S EGG, FLIES FROM THE AMBER has
           a sense of wonder, fascinating realistic science, a wonderfully
           inventive background, charming characters you can root for, and a
           fast paced plot that keeps you reading." -- Eric Baker, SF Age


     THE FALL OF SIRIUS (Roc, paperback, $7 shipping included)

           After thousands of years in suspended animation, the survivors of a
           genocidal alien attack awaken to find themselves at the mercy of
           the "Gate" colonists, humans who have modified their brains and
           bodies to live in imitation of the alien Waisters. But against all
           that is known of their psychology, the Waisters are returning to
           the scene of their crime, and only Malyene Andreivne and her tiny
           band of survivors may hold the key as to why.  But the complex
           machinations of Gatean society may prove as deadly as the Wasiters
           themselves...   (NOTE: This book is a sequel to the acclaimed but
           out-of-print AGGRESSOR SIX)

           "FALL is loaded with plenty of action, good ideas fully developed,
            is set in a world with a piquant lived-in quality, and features a
            protagonist who has more than her share of vices... but remains
            sympathetic." -- Roland Green, Booklist


     MURDER IN THE SOLID STATE (Tor, hardcover, $20 shipping included)

            At the dawn of the 21st century, the "molecular fabrication"
            industry is poised to remake the world in its image, as did the
            manufacturing and computer industries before it. But life on the
            cutting edge can be dangerous; against a backdrop of scientific
            breakthrough and political oppression, graduate researcher David
            Sanger is implicated in the death of a colleague, and quickly
            finds himself caught up in the machinations of those who would
            shape the future to their own ends.

            Locus Bestseller : Nebula Award Semifinalist : Prometheus Award
                                                                Nominee

            "Breathless... Its striking quality is not so much the fascinating
             science as the canny use of hardboiled prose and keen sense of
             pacing. Any author with the knack for tight, vivid writing and
             good SF mystery in an often clueless field should be applauded."
                            -- Charles DeLint, F&SF
