NEW FRONTIERS If you like Heinlein, you'll enjoy POINT ULTIMATE. Welcome to the future where the Enemy rules the world. Resistance is futile: The Enemy maintains control by having released a lethal virus, then forcing everyone to get a monthly antidote injection, lest they die a horrible, painful death without it. Resistance is never entirely futile, and freedom-loving men, women, and children attempt to sneak their way to the secret "Point Ultimate" where they can be free. But the Enemy wants to know: Where is Point Ultimate? Very Heinlein-esque in feel, it's like finding Heinlein's Have Spacesuit, Will Travel or Farnham's Freehold in an attic if they hadn't been published before, the way people find a "new" Mozart or Beethoven piece in a trunk somewhere. "Jerry Sohl undoubtedly possesses one of the most imaginative minds of our day." -Houston Post Jerry Sohl is the acclaimed writer for Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and scores more novels and TV/movie scripts.

One of the famous Ace Doubles, with the wonderful original cover, One Against Herculum remains a fast-paced, fun story that you'll really enjoy. LEGAL ASSASSIN OF THE STARWAYS Corruption was the rule of order on the domed planetary colony of Herculum. Earthman Alan Demuth, for instance, couldn't get the job he had rightfully qualified for without paying a kickback to the man he hated, Jack Bohannen. Alan thought he could simply report Jack's graft, until he learned none would listen. There was one desperate recourse. Under provision of the law, Alan could ask for a crime license. His crime would be homicide, and the victim Jack Bohannen. The law gave him twenty-four hours to make good his murder. Failure would mean Alan's death. Success would mean the clean-up of graft and dishonesty. But Alan never realized that in a graft-ridden society, even a license to kill is liable to prove a backfiring fraud!

And now, his own wife had joined them, and she seemed not to hear when he screamed his pleas for her to come back. None of them heard. It had to be a dream. He closed his eyes. I'm in bed. In a moment I will wake up and Marjorie will be beside me. It didn't work. He was alone. Alone in a ghost town. And even if he could find anyone to tell, they would think he was crazy. He stopped short, the word sticking in his mind. CRAZY. Is that what I am? The accident, the operations, the eyes that watched him, waiting for-what? For this? Was this delusion the end product?
