Direct Descent
Earth has become a library planet for thousands of years, a bastion of both useful and useless knowledge—esoterica of all types, history, science, politics—gathered by teams of “pack rats” who scour the galaxy for any scrap of information. Knowledge is power, knowledge is wealth, and knowledge can be a weapon. As powerful dictators come and go over the course of history, the cadre of dedicated librarians is sworn to obey the lawful government . . . and use their wits to protect the treasure trove of knowledge they have collected over the millennia.
The Dragon in the Sea
Twenty subtugs had been lost attempting to bring back oil from the undersea fields on the enemy’s borders.

When Lizbeth and Harvey Durant decided to invoke the Law; when Dr. Potter did not rearrange the most unusual genetic structure of their future son, barely an embryo growing in the State’s special vat-the consequences of these decisions threatened to be catastrophic.
For never before had anyone dared defy the Rulers’ decrees . . . and if They found out, it was well known that the price of disobedience was the extermination of the human race . . .

Their authorities suspect that the rules are not being followed and dispatch a series of investigators who all come up empty. The latest investigator arrives and is made an offer he can’t refuse. Or can he?
