They Shall Have Stars (Cities in Flight #1)
2018 AD. The time of the Cold Peace, worse even than the Cold War. The bureaucratic regimes that rule from Washington and Moscow are indistinguishable in their passion for total repression. But in the West, a few dedicated individuals still struggle to find a way out of the trap of human history. Behind the screen of official research their desperate project is nearing completion . . .
A Life for the Stars (Cities in Flight #2)
Science has come to humanity’s rescue with two crucial discoveries – antigravity devices that enable whole cities to be lifted from the Earth to become giant spaceships, and longevity drugs that allow their inhabitants to live for thousands of years – lead to the establishment of a unique Galactic empire. Now, the earth’s cities are able to abandon the worn-out homeworld for a new life, a new future. But what will they find as the hurtle off into the depths of space . . . ?
Earthman, Come Home (Cities in Flight #3)
When the cities left Earth, they exchanged a simple environment for one of constant, sometimes shattering change. The Universe was littered with cultures in every conceivable stage of development. Only the iron hand of the germanium-backed economy and occasional interventions by the Earth police imposed some kind of order on the spaceways. Even John Amalfi never got used to the life – and he had been mayor of New York for nearly five hundred years now.
The Triumph of Time (Cities in Flight #4)
In the era of. ANTI-MATTER.

But they didn’t know until later, much later, that they had uncovered mankind’s Day of Judgement.
Following up the Hevian’s discovery, scientists of New Earth learned of the existence of a Universe based on Anti-Matter energy – a chemical and physical structure so antagonistic to their own Universe that the slightest contact meant instantaneous oblivion for both worlds.
In desperation, the scientists joined forces to create a missile to explore this mysterious and hostile Anti-Matter Universe.
But when the missile returned the scientists learned one awesome fact: In three years time the two Universes were doomed to inevitable, catastrophic collision!
