Johnny Winger, rescued from the Engebbe dig site, has come under suspicion by UNIFORCE Security of being a double agent. It’s a setup orchestrated by UNSAC, but Winger can’t convince anybody of that. He has to undergo memory trace and ANAD penetration. He passes the test but several troopers in the unit don’t…they’re angels and have to be removed. Winger is depressed by this and wants Major Kraft to authorize a special op to find out where the missing troopers are. Kraft is willing, but needs authorization from UNIFORCE. However, before the op can get underway, a new menace has developed. Red Hammer has used its stolen ANAD technology to create a special angel…a robotic celebrity and messiah named Symborg. He begins to attract millions of followers…a new religion/spiritual discipline called Assimilationism grows rapidly. Even worse, business and political leaders, even sports and entertainment stars all over the world are turning out to be angels. Some kind of mass displacement effort is underway. If it continues, Red Hammer may well wind up running most of the world as their own enterprise…with all the powers and weapons of multiple nation-states at their disposal. Some of the displaced have been disassembled. Others, including most of the Quantum Corps troopers that turned up missing, are incarcerated below ground, below Mount Kipwezi, in Kenya. Kraft approves the special forces mission to locate and rescue them. But the rescue force doesn’t realize there is something stirring in the archaeological dig site at Engebbe, Kenya nearby…ancient ancestors of the race that Red Hammer is in contact with have been released and are moving to prevent the rescue…and continue their global displacement effort….

He claims he's not a fan of rock-and-roll, but somehow Harlan Ellison's seminal novel based on the career of Jerry Lee Lewis ended up in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. One of the first -- and still one of the best -- dissections of the wildly destructive rock-and-roll lifestyle, Spider Kiss isn't about giant cockroaches that attack Detroit or space invaders that smell like chicken soup. Instead, it's the story of Luther Sellers, a poor kid from Louisville with a voice like an angel who's renamed Stag Preston by a ruthless promoter. Preston's meteoric rise on the music scene is matched only by the rise in his enormous appetites -- and not just for home cooking -- and soon the invisible monkey named Success is riding him straight to hell. This raucous early novel reinforces Ellison's reputation as one of America's most dynamic writers.

Revolution is not necessarily a noble thing. Unless shrewdly directed, its best elements may fall victim to its basest impulses.

The first three adventures set in the amazing realm created by the Hugo Award–winning author of Riverworld. His past a mystery and his present unbearably mundane, Robert Wolff is simply trying to buy a new house in Arizona when he stumbles upon a secret doorway through space and time and enters the World of Tiers. Made up of ascending levels of jungles, plains, medieval cities, and, at the top, a Garden of Eden, and populated by fantastical creatures, from nymphs and centaurs to merpeople and strange amalgams nonexistent on Earth, it’s beyond anything Wolff could have imagined in his previous humdrum existence. And when his youth is restored in the bargain, it seems he’s truly found paradise. But there are dark forces in this new world, and Wolff is plunged into an epic quest up through the tiers, accompanied by Paul Janus Finnegan, another earthling, now known as Kickaha. Wolff’s journey to find Jadawin, the Lord of this world, will lead to answers about his own identity—and determine his fate. Wolff and Kickaha will face off against feuding Lords—who hold the power to control private worlds of their own design—and the depraved Bellers. Devices originally created in the biolabs of the Lords, the Bellers are now conscious entities waging war on the Lords and their “pocket universes.” As they infiltrate the bodies of creatures throughout the World of Tiers and hunt down the Earth-born, the survival of all the worlds hinges upon the battle between the strangers from Earth and enemies disguised as their allies. This omnibus contains the author’s preferred text, reprinted from the limited edition volumes published by Phantasia Press.
