4. The Broken Cycle: Being lost in space was no new experience to John Grimes, whose career as an interstellar officer had brought him into many such dilemmas. But being lost inside a colossal alien spacecraft had no precedent. Complicating the matter was the discovery that the very universe was not their own but an alternate and that their captor seemed to be the omnipotent force of that entire other cosmos. As Grime’s only companion was the comely policewoman, Una Freeman, the fate that the Alien God selected for them required the creation of a Garden of Eden. But there were two serpents in this one – both of them bicycles! It’s a weird, wild romp in space-time – one of the most surprising adventures of the man that has been called the Horatio Hornblower of Space.
5. Spartan Planet: And they named the planet Sparta. Long ago the humans had settled this planet – too long ago for anyone to remember. Slowly the civilization had developed, and now it was complete. A civilization of war and violence. A civilization of crude pleasures. A civilization in which human beings were produced by birth machines – and women were unknown. It was a civilization whose terrible secret only the doctor-priests knew – a secret that a desperate man named Brasidus decided to penetrate, even at the risk of something worse than death…
6. The Inheritors: John Grimes tackles the slave trade on a lost world with some very feline like inhabitants.
7. The Big Black Mark: The fabulous career of John Grimes from ensign in the Galactic Federation to admiral of the Rim Worlds has been chronicled over the years in dozens of gripping novels and short stories. But the pivotal account of Grimes’ career – the big black mark on his service record that forced him to change his loyalties had never been recorded.
