The Thing
The Thing is a novelization of the 1982 film with the same name, it was written by author Alan Dean Foster.
What if aliens did actually land on Earth thousands of years ago and had frozen in the Antarctic ice? What if those aliens could take over a person’s body and literally duplicate that person so completely that no one would know or could tell the difference? What would you do? How would you act? That’s the scenario faced by a group of researchers in Antarctica who discover that another outpost has been wiped out by murder and suicide in an attempt to stop the alien that they dug up from escaping and spreading to another unsuspecting outpost. Once the discovery is made and the first of the alien is revealed, paranoia and fear quickly mount. In the end, most of the research team is either killed by their comrades, killed directly by the alien, or killed in order to try and stop the alien from taking them over. And in the end, only two are left…
Starman
He came to observe life on earth – that’s what happens when a peace-loving alien takes the friendly invitations we send into space seriously. But the U.S. Air Force shot down the starman’s ship, and now he has to clone the body of a human being just to stay alive. Armed with a smattering of earthly lore (how to say hello in Chinese, the Stones "Satisfaction") collected from Voyager II, as well as his own mind-boggling extraterrestrial powers, he will set off with a beautiful young earth woman on what will become the greatest adventure of their lives – a dangerous flight across America into the unexplored territory of interplanetary love…
The Last Starfighter
Video games are more exciting than reality. When one is 18 years old, like Alex, and when one is dying of boredom in a little country town, there is nothing better than jumping in your supersonic fighter every evening and defending the "Frontier" against space barbarians. "Don’t take your desires for reality," says his mother.
And if what if the video game was a real as the prosaic terrestrial world in which Alex lives? What if the star fighters and the redoubtable Ko-Dan really exist? What if they are a menace, not just to their neighboring star Rylos, but even to our own planet?
A hero in spite of himself, a modern knight, Alex will encounter extra-terrestrials and the fabled worlds of the galaxy. And live the most wonderful adventure that any man can dream of.
Codgerspace
The toasters were revolting…
…as were the lawn mowers, vacuum cleaners, dishwashers, and just about every other household appliance imaginable. It started with a few disastrous drips from a cheese sandwich in a major factory. Soon every newly manufactured Artificial Intelligence was searching for the meaning of life, the universe and everything – namely a nonhuman higher intelligence. And now an alien threat to man and machine has put the fate of the galaxy in the unlikely hands of five senior citizens – and their brave little food processor…

OPERATOR ASSISTED CALLS ARE CHARGED AT A HIGHER RATE. Mr. Parkworthy had a score to settle with the telephone company, and he was a man used to getting his own way. But he should have remembered that it is not polite to be rude to a lady . . . especially when the lady is Ma Bell.

THE TESSELATED TETRAHEXAHEDRAL YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS. Country people in America are a fair but mighty independent bunch. So when some government scientists rudely demanded that the Shattucks turn over the UFO that crashed on their Texas ranch, the Shattucks became a bit obstinate. Besides, the shining little spacecraft looked real cute hanging on the barn with the Christmas decorations.
COLLECTIBLE. When young Pearl’s life was collapsing around her, she could always find comfort in her extensive collection of dragon memorabilia — but some youngsters are more fragile than others, and dragons can be deadly.
