THE STARMEN

Michael Trehearne was a changeling. When he stood on the hillside in Brittany and watched the strange rites, he had been searching for his past. He found it there--and he also found his future: the beautiful and mysterious girl called Shairn--and the faraway stars! When he saw her his mind was full of all the things that had oppressed and worked and driven him since childhood, the nagging little mysteries about himself to which now he would find the key. Their meeting was the key. It unlocked the doorway to the stars and plunged him into breath-taking adventures out across the universe toward an unknown fate--and face to face with the Law of the Vardda. He had no dread for the Vardda, for they weren't conquerors, they were merchant-adventurers amidst the stars. Yet he did have awe for them. He felt he was a man gone astray in a titan's dream. The dream at first seemed a nightmare. The shrill old voice of the crone had whispered in his memory, "Every other year the Devil sends his sons and daughters." But it was no dream, he knew. The alluring Shairn was real--and she was more like an angel in her loose short tunic of some strange fabric the color of flame, belted over soft dark trousers by a jewelled band. This science fiction novel of Michael Trehearne, Shairn and the Starmen is an enthralling story. But for all its sweep and grandeur, it is a warm story with human emotions.

THE SWORD OF RHIANNON

Matt Carse, explorer of interplanetary ruins, was very interested when he was informed by a small-time thief that the fabulous Sword of Rhiannon had been found. Rhiannon was one of the ancient gods of Mars, who had used his powers for evil and had been eternally consigned to damnation by the Science Lords of that wonderful epoch. The superstitious Martians would not venture into the cave where the spirit of Rhiannon was said to be, but Matt, being an Earthman, did not share their fears.

But once he had entered the cave, Matt was overcome by a nameless terror that sent a cold tingling shock through his body. And then he felt himself pitched towards the brooding blackness in the center of the cave, and emerged into the incredible Martian world of a million years before.

Confronted with many dangers and perils, Matt strives to regain his old world, but he does not succeed before he meets the weird prehistoric inhabitants of this world, most interesting of whom was the Princess Ywain of Sark, who uses her female talents to conquer him.
