Winner of the Lord Ruthven Award for Best Vampire Novel of the Year: The first horror novel from the author of Star Trek’s “The Trouble with Tribbles” script. Includes the bonus short story “Jacob in Manhattan.” With a writing legacy that includes Star Trek, Land of the Lost, and the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning novella The Martian Child, David Gerrold knows what it’s like to be an author. Writing about vampires should be easy for him, right? But real vampires are far more sinister in real life than they are in fiction. Jacob is the story of an author’s encounters with the undead creature who gives him success, forbidden knowledge, and ultimately, a choice. Jacob is a cunning survivor. Orphaned in Seattle in the mid-nineteenth century, he could have been someone’s convenient meal. Instead, he becomes the “daykeeper” for a man he knows only as Monsieur. Then he discovers the hidden community of nightsiders—men who live in secrecy and darkness—the true apex predators. To be a nightsider is to experience heightened senses, bursts of super-strength, and frequent hallucinogenic episodes. Nightsiders also need to lie dormant to recover from their excesses. The daykeeper must be a protector against the daylight. But Jacob wanted more than that; he craved the promise of immortality. And so a century later, Jacob tells his story, this time to an ambitious young writer. It’s a different kind of interview. Is it a seduction? Or is he just playing with his food? And who will write the final chapter? Praise for The Man Who Folded Himself “Most impressive.” —The Times Literary Supplement “Wildly imaginative and mindbending.” —Publishers Weekly

The legendary science fiction writer’s controversial, groundbreaking novel—one gay man’s raw and wild ride through the 1960s and ’70s. From an adolescent being bullied to the muddy wetlands of Vietnam to an Arizona desert commune, a man known only as Chase traces his quest for identity, meaning, and love in prose both beautiful and brutal. Thirteen fourteen fifteen o’clockis a coming-of-age and then coming-to-terms novel of a life lived looking for answers from gurus and whores, dopers and soldiers, men and women. Returning from Vietnam missing a leg and saddled with fear, rage, and grief, Chase takes to his Harley never able to outrun the trauma that resurfaces every time he is threatened because of his sexuality. Yet, though scarred and battered—inside and out—he constantly seeks those fleeting moments of connection with another soul, an awareness of a universe where he is not alone in his hurt and hunger. A searingly powerful story of survival, thirteen fourteen fifteen o’clock is what happens when life stares you down, daring you to blink first, and you meet its gaze—with eyes wide open. Praise for The Man Who Folded Himself “Most impressive.” —The Times Literary Supplement “Wildly imaginative and mindbending.” —Publishers Weekly

From the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of The Martian Child: “This playful, intricate game of survival . . . is one of Gerrold’s best books.” —Publishers Weekly The human race has been played for a fool. Though welcomed into the galactic community and given access to the combined knowledge of thousands of intelligent species, humans are largely regarded as an evolutionary mistake. Reptilian, insectoid, and other unclassifiable species are the dominant forms of intelligence. If it hadn’t been for that annoying comet, the dinosaurs would have continued their evolutionary journey to sentience. Instead the ridiculous mammalians survived. And they want to be treated as equals. Now the humans find out that the Galactic Encyclopedia has a user fee—and they are overdrawn! If the debt can’t be paid, humanity will be sold as slaves . . . or food. Asst. Liaison Officer Yake Singh Browne feels personally betrayed. He comes up with a strategy: If humanity can’t win playing by the rules of the game, he’ll just have to change the rules. Game on! “Taut and well-constructed, providing a convincing glimpse of alien biology and psychology . . . A good yarn.” —Kirkus Reviews “Gerrold has written a fine but demanding science-fiction novel . . . Those with perseverance will enjoy the story’s campy humor and unexpected plot twists.” —School Library Journal

On the occasion of his winning the the 2022 Robert A. Heinlein Award for outstanding published works in science fiction and technical writings to inspire the human exploration of space, we present to you a selection of over six decades of work from a master of the field. "David Gerrold has demonstrated a dazzling breadth of work, and always with a healthy sense of humor, no small thing in this world." - Steven Barnes "Even at his advanced youth, David Gerrold remains the future of science fiction." - Adam-Troy Castro "David Gerrold has been a hero of mine, ever since he rolled his bike into the lobby of the Albert Hotel, looking for a place to stay. He was the first gay parent I ever knew personally, and wrote about it beautifully and movingly, and I have always treasured his friendship." - Samuel R. Delany

A master of science fiction introduces a world where everything is large and the problems of survival even larger in this exciting new novel. Hella is a planet where everything is oversized—especially the ambitions of the colonists. The trees are mile-high, the dinosaur herds are huge, and the weather is extreme—so extreme, the colonists have to migrate twice a year to escape the blistering heat of summer and the atmosphere-freezing cold of winter. Kyle is a neuro-atypical young man, emotionally challenged, but with an implant that gives him real-time access to the colony''s computer network, making him a very misunderstood savant. When an overburdened starship arrives, he becomes the link between the established colonists and the refugees from a ravaged Earth. The Hella colony is barely self-sufficient. Can it stand the strain of a thousand new arrivals, bringing with them the same kinds of problems they thought they were fleeing? Despite the dangers to himself and his family, Kyle is in the middle of everything—in possession of the most dangerous secret of all. Will he be caught in a growing political conspiracy? Will his reawakened emotions overwhelm his rationality? Or will he be able to use his unique ability to prevent disaster?

L''astronave LS-1187 è un incrociatore interstellare che non ha mai partecipato a una vera e propria battaglia. La sua prima missione (unirsi a un convoglio di mille navi per proteggere i mondi esterni da attacchi a sorpresa) finisce quasi in un disastro e l''astronave e il suo equipaggio si guadagnano una serie di nomignoli tutt''altro che simpatici, di cui "vigliacchi" è il solo ripetibile. Ma tutti, a bordo dell''incrociatore LS-1187, sono ansiosi di lavare la macchia, e per farlo non c''è che un modo: distinguersi in azione contro la Lega dei Morthan, la più pericolosa alleanza extraterrestre che i mondi dell''uomo abbiano dovuto affrontare.

Eine Jagd quer durch die Galaxis Das Raumschiff "Roger Burlingame" ist ein Dinosaurier: schrottreif und längst von der Technik überholt. Seine Maschinen können jederzeit versagen. Dennoch hofft die demoralisierte Mannschaft auf einen neuen Einsatz – und bekommt ihn. Jon Korie, der ungeliebte Erste Offizier, glaubt, eine Spur der feindlichen Morthans in den Weiten des Alls entdeckt zu haben, und ist sich sicher, sie besiegen zu können. Korie weiß, dass er dafür die Hilfe der Schiffscrew braucht – auch wenn diese ihn hasst. Die Sternenjagd beginnt also unter denkbar ungünstigen Voraussetzungen. Es liegt an der Mannschaft der "Burlingame": Ist Korie ihr Retter – oder ein Verrückter? Führt er sie zu Ruhm und Ehre – oder in den Untergang?

Die Bio-Invasion ist nicht aufzuhalten Die chtorranische Bio-Invasion hat bereits große Teile Nordamerikas verseucht. Die riesigen roten Würmer tauchen zu Hunderten auf und verschlingen alles, was sich ihnen in den Weg stellt. Chtorranische Pflanzen und Bakterien machen ganze Staaten unbewohnbar. Die von vorangegangenen Seuchen stark dezimierte Bevölkerung zieht sich in die Küstenregionen zurück. Auch die Armee und ihre Spezialeinheiten sind machtlos. Sie bombardierten Chtorr-Kolonien mit Atomwaffen – doch nach dem Angriff sind mehr Würmer da als vorher. Die Alien-Ökologie gibt immer neue Rätsel auf, und die Hilflosigkeit der Menschen wird immer deutlicher. Es scheint nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis die Invasoren die Erde beherrschen. Die Wissenschaftler um Jim McCarthy sehen nur noch eine Möglichkeit: sie wollen versuchen, mit den Aliens zu kommunizieren. Vielleicht ist eine Koexistenz möglich ...

Der Kampf der Sternenwölfe geht weiter Die "LS-1187" ist ein Sternenschiff der Zerstörerklasse, bisher in keiner Schlacht erprobt und so neu, dass sie noch keinen Namen hat. Doch schon bei der ersten Mission begeht ihr Captain Jon Korie einen so schwerwiegenden Fehler, dass fast die gesamte Flotte der Menschen ihren Feinden, den Morthans zum Opfer fällt. Nur "LS-1187" kann entkommen und hat sich damit ihren Namen verdient: "Jona", der Feigling. Auf eigene Faust bricht die Mannschaft des Raumschiffes zu einer gefährlichen Mission auf, um die verlorene Ehre wiederzugewinnen – und um Rache zu üben ...

Der Krieg gegen die Chtorr hat längst begonnen Eine ganze Reihe verschiedener Seuchen, die sich über die komplette Erde ausgebreitet haben, hat 90 Prozent der Menschheit ausgelöscht. Die Überlebenden versuchen gerade, aus den Trümmern der Gesellschaft wieder eine funktionierende Zivilisation zu erschaffen, als die Chtorraner auftauchen: Aliens, die wie riesige orangefarbene Würmer aussehen und einen gewaltigen Appetit haben. Sie bringen Tiere und Pflanzen mit, wie sie die Erde noch nie gesehen hat. Die Menschheit begreift, dass die Seuchen kein Zufall waren, sondern die erste Welle einer Invasion aus dem All. Die zweite Welle soll das, was von den Menschen noch übrig ist, auslöschen, um den Planeten zu übernehmen. Doch woher kommen die Invasoren? Und sind die Würmer intelligent? Jim McCarthy, Wissenschaftler im Dienste der Armee, will genau das herausfinden.

"First chapters and exclusive excerpts from David Gerrold''s classic works The trouble with Tribbles, The man who folded himself, The voyage of the Star Wolf, and When H.A.R.L.I.E. was one

Picard vor Gericht Das Raumschiff Enterprtise unter Captain James T. Kirk ist eine Legende. Nun, fast hundert Jahre nach der ersten Enterprise, wird die U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-D in Dienst gestellt. Seine erste Mission führt Captain Jean-Luc Picard nach Deneb IV. Dessen Bewohner, die in der Raumfahrt völlig unerfahrenen Bandi, ist es vor Kurzem gelungen, die Station Farpoint zu erreichen. Picard und seine Crew sollen dieses Rätsel lösen. Auf dem Flug nach Farpoint wird die Enterprise von einem sehr mächtigen Wesen namens Q gekidnappt, das die Menschen beschuldigt, sich immer nur mit Gewalt durchgesetzt zu haben. Picard wird vor ein Gericht gestellt und erreicht einen Aufschub, um Q von der Friedfertigkeit der Menschen zu überzeugen. Doch als er das Farpoint-Rätsel lösen will, wird er mit einem weitaus mächtigeren Gegner konfrontiert.

In A Covenant of Justice, the sequel to Gerrold''s classic space opera Under the Eye of God, The Phaestor, a genetically altered vampiric race, have set in motion their final plan for the complete enslavement of the galaxy. However, they will not go unopposed, for on numerous worlds, humans, androids, and bioforms have joined forces against their vampiric overlords. A government of vampires, dragons, and mutated humans display their galactic dominance, and while those entrusted with the wisdom of the galaxy sanction the struggle against the Phaestor, a cunning Vampire war queen, her ambitious suitor, and the fierce and invincible Dragon Lord vie for total domination. The last hope for the galaxy remains in the hands of rebels from Thoska-Roole: a band of malcontents, outnumbered and pursued, fighting for their freedom, their lives, and the future of the stars.

H.A.R.L.I.E. (Human Analog Replication, Lethetic Intelligence Engine) is an artificially intelligent machine. David Auberson, the psychologist responsible for guiding HARLIE from childhood into adulthood, struggles to understand his erratic behavior. When humans begin vocalizing their wishes that HARILIE be shut down, he has to prove his existence and value to his warm-blooded counterparts. Throughout HARILIE''s fight to stay alive, Auberson discovers the machine has vast knowledge and understanding of life, love, and logic, posing the philosophical question whether or not HARLIE is human, and for that matter, what it means to be human. Nominated for the Hugo and Nebula awards for Best Novel of the Year, the themes of love and discovery in When HARLIE was One are even more important today than when first published.

Six hunters and two official guides are going on the trip of their lifetime. Their destination? Earth as it was a hundred million years ago, long before human dominion, when the great hot-blooded dinosaurs ruled supreme. Each of the time travelers has a different motive. Some are on the strange safari for pay. Others are taking a psychological and sexual holiday from civilization. There are women who wanted to show themselves the equal of men—and men out to test and prove their manhood. But whatever their drives and desires, their strengths and weaknesses, the ultimate horror awaits them.

David Gerrold burst onto the science fiction scene in the late sixties with more Hugo and Nebula nominations than any other writer had ever received at the beginning of his career. His first collection of stories, With a Finger in My I, showcased his remarkable range. The jewel in that collection was "In the Deadlands," a bizarre and disturbing journey into a landscape of madness—not so much a story as a sculpture made of words. Nominated for the Nebula award for best novelette of the year, "In the Deadlands" has been out of print for 40 years. This new collection contains all the stories from With a Finger in My I, plus four other works written in the same period, with revealing notes from the author.

They were once humanity''s last hope: a race of genetically engineered killing machines known as the Phaestor and their army of deadly Moktar Dragons. Now, the enemy long vanquished, the Phaestor themselves have become the enemy, seizing control of the galaxy and subjugating all lesser species—including humans—to feed their appetite for terror and blood. On a small, insignificant planet called Thoska-Roole, a ragtag alliance of humans, androids, and bioforms make a last desperate stand against Phaestor domination. Among their number are two bounty hunters, a mercenary starship captain, and a disgraced reptilian warrior. As the Phaestor begin a new reign of unprecedented terror, these rebels prepare to strike back against their vampire overlords and bring revolution to the stars. Under the Eye of God, the first installment of Trackers, is followed by its sequel, A Covenant of Justice, where the fight for the galaxy continues.
