*Personal: Single green she-beast seeks single man. Color, Creed, species not important. Down on the bayou, folks called the creature Zergopha. It had been around for quite a spell, slithering through the swamp, chowing down on the odd tourist here and there. Lately, though, it seemed to be after something more than a one-night snack. Affection, maybe. Possibly even—commitment. Now it's Spring, and an immortal monster's bizarre fancy has turned to thoughts of weird love. Only one man is the unlucky object of Zergopha's affections… Kent Montana He's the descendant of Scottish nobility, or so he claims. He's an out-of-work actor. He never gets a good script… but his life is more exciting and outrageous than any science fiction movie. In fact, his life is a science fiction movie… (previously published as written by Lionel Fenn)

Mars vs. New Jersey! IT is big. IT is ugly. IT has a heat ray and a bad disposition. IT is, in short, the worst thing to happen to New Jersey since the last election. Nothing can stop IT. Not the army. Not the scientist. Not the preacher. Not even a cute little girl and her dog. Only one man can save us all… KENT MONTANA

He's out of sight… and out of his mind! Don't look now, but a mad scientist has discovered the secret of (temporary) invisibility. He's not planning to sneak into the movies, either. He's mad, remember? He wants… revenge! It doesn't take a genius to see right through the faded fiend's transparent scheme: a festival of murder, destruction, and cheap practical jokes. But only one man can clean those unsightly stains on the fabric of society… Kent Montana He's the descendant of Scottish nobility, or so he claims. He's an out-of-work actor. He never gets a good script… but his life is more exciting and outrageous than any science fiction movie. In fact, his life is a science fiction movie…

HAVE TIME MACHINE, WILL TRAVEL… The man they call Diego is a gunslinger on the run. And, by accident, he finds the perfect place to hide—the future! But he's about to discover that New York City in the 1990s is no less dangerous than the Old West in the 1880s… Follow the Man they call Diego through time and space in this exciting time-travel series.

To his neighbors in the sleepy hamlet of Inverness, New Jersey, Lincoln Blackthorne is a tailor. Far from major population centers, highways, airports, or trains, Inverness is just about the last place you’d expect to find an international soldier of fortune and treasure hunter. But that’s exactly what Blackthorne is—one of the best—and he’s about to embark on his most dangerous journey: the quest for a priceless work of art, a deadly magical talisman, an object of dire arcane power. His opponent is the viperous Anton Reddick, an evil millionaire who’ll stop at nothing to fulfill his desires. The chase is on—from New Jersey to Peru, and finally to Inverness, Scotland, where Lincoln Blackthorne must face not only Reddick and his cutthroats but also his own deepest fears and nightmares. Whether he's cruising at nine thousand feet in a pilotless plane filled with poison, risking his hide in a red-hot batch of lava, or taking his chances with a red-haired seductress, it's all in a day's work for the misfit spy and master tailor out to sew up the case—before it unravels him. If you have an eye for run, fantasy, and futuristic firepower, Lincoln Blackthorne is the man to watch. (previously published as written by Geoffrey Marsh)
