Lord of Blood

SLAVE AND SLAVER! Condemned to death, the barbarian hero Valzar was thrown into the sea, along with his bond-slave Lynor. The peace of the slavemasters had returned to the lands of the north…or so it seemed. But the slavemasters reckoned not the gods of chance, those frivolous supernatural beings who delight in fouling the plans of men. And more important, they reckoned not the magic of the ancient science that still existed in the Forbidden Temple. In a time when men had long forgotten the mysteries of science, it was necessary for the final guardians of those mysteries to strike out in the ultimate battle against the forces of darkness. But to lead that battle, they needed the Barbarian – and so the Barbarian lived!

The First Theodore R. Cogswell MEGAPACK ®

Theodore r. Cogswell

Theodore Rose Cogswell (1918 – 1987) was an American science fiction author. His first published story, «The Spectre General» in the magazine ASTOUNDING (June 1952), was a humorous tale in which a long-forgotten maintenance brigade of the Imperial Space Marines holds the promise of reinvigorating a declining Galactic empire. It's a classic and was selected by the Science Fiction Writers of America as one of the greatest SF stories of all time. This volume (a reissue of Cogswell's 1968 collection, THE THIRD EYE) presents 16 of his classic stories and is the first of what should eventually be three Cogswell Megapacks, presenting his complete short stories.

Joe Mauser, Mercenary from Tomorrow

Mack Reynolds

It's a crooked road to world peace…but it works. Warfare between nations has been banned. Taking its place are the Corporate Wars – full-scale battles between mercenary armies hired by large corporations, ostensibly to settle trade disputes. But the wars are also free entertainment for the masses. In a world where most jobs have been taken over by automation, free tranquilizers have to be issued to the vast lower class to keep them subdued. The Corporate Wars offer what little excitement their lives hold; deadly serious fighting action – live and in color. But when you play with armies, you play with fire. The world's leaders seem to have forgotten that…but Joe Mauser hasn't!

The Lagrangists

Now, they're trying to kill the man in charge of the first L-5 colony, and Private Eye Rex Bader is the man who will have to find and stop them. But who are the killers? Only time – and blood – will tell!
