BEHIND
THE WALLS OF TERRA

Paul Janus Finnegan was called Kickaha on the artificial universes created by that always feuding super-race known as the Lords.  Though he was a mortal Earthman, he had managed to survive every intrigue, war, test and opponent they could devise.

But it was when he found his way back to his own world that Kickaha faced the greatest dangers of his adventure-filled career.  For he knew the secrets of the powers that moved the cosmos,and this made him a threat - a target of the terrible hidden forces contending for this very universe.

SO IS EVERYONE WHO EVER LIVED..."

Just one day.  That's all you get.  The world's crowded, and the government appreciates your cooperation.  You're allowed one day each week to live your life.  The rest of the week, you're "stoned" - frozen solid.

Unless, of course, you're a daybreaker.  Then you can live every day of the week.  You can assume seven different personalities and work seven different jobs.  You can slip from culture to culture, in seven different worlds.

Unless, of course, you get caught... or go crazy.

The Daybreaker has escaped.

His name is Jeff Caird.  His crime: being awake seven days a week, living seven different lives in a world where each citizen is allowed only one day a week.  A world where there just isn't enough room.  Not for the expanding population.  Not for personal freedom, either...

Unless you fight for it.

THE GATES OF CREATION

Imagine a whole series of separate universes, made to suit the whims of a race of super-beings.  Imagine these universes with their own laws, cultures, creatures and ecologies - all existing solely to please the fancies of their individual master.

Then imagine one such universe constructed as a diabolical trap to destroy a single person - the man called Robert Wolff, one of the race of universe-makers, and once of Earth.  When the satanic Master-Lord, Urizen, kidnaps Wolff's wife, he forces Wolff to enter the deadly universe of ambushes, filled with every kind of tortuous snare that the evil mind of the Master-Lord can devise.

Wolff has only his courage and his wits with which to combat this cosmic maze - unless he can perform a miracle, he and Chryseis are doomed.

THE GATES OF CREATION is the fabulous second adventure in Philip José Farmer's World of Tiers Series.

GODS OF
RIVERWORLD

"You are in this book.  So is everyone who ever lived..."

More than twenty years ago, Philip José Farmer began the epic chronicle of the planet called Riverworld, and of the thirty-five billion men and women who woke there one morning to begin the first day of life after death.  Resurrected by the power of an alien race, for reasons they can only guess at, unlikely fellow travelers like Mark Twain, Herman Göring, and Cyrano de Bergerac wonder the banks of a ten-million-mile long river in search of their makers and the answers to this mystery.

Now some of their questions have been answered, and even more raised, by their discovery of the giant tower that rises from Riverworld's north polar sea.  Here is the great computer that controls the resurrection process - and their mastery of that mechanism will make them like gods in Riverworld, with power of life and death over those billions of human lives.  But they are not alone in the tower.  Strange footsteps in

the corridors, attempts on their lives, one "accident" after another, all lead them to an inevitable conclusion: either there is an assassin left behind in the tower - or one of their band is a traitor!

Readers everywhere will rejoice to see Philip José Farmer back at work in Riverworld, unquestionably the finest achievement of this most speculative, wide-ranging, and outrageous writer ever.

Philip José Farmer is considered one of the great science fiction writers in the field's history.  He reached his deserved level of success with the Riverworld series, first begun in 1971 with the Hugo award-winning To Your Scattered Bodies Go, and continuing with the bestseller The Magic Labyrinth.  Mr. Farmer and his wife live in Peoria, Illinois.

OPAR... the Atlantean colony in the heart of Tarzan's Africa.

OPAR... in the words of Edgar Rice Burroughs, a hidden city of "gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks."

OPAR... is the starting point of this fabulous novel of twelve thousand years past, when Africa had an inland sea and a high civilization bloomed along its forgotten shores, when lost empires flew their time-valished banners, and deeds of daring were commonplace.

Philip José Farmer, chronicler of TARZAN ALIVE, teller of fabulous histories, presents here the first great novel of HADON OF ANCIENT OPAR, whose claim to a throne launched him upon an adventure in the grand style of the great masters of fantasy.

Fully illustrated by Roy Krenkell.

PHILIP JOSÉ FARMER

Somewhere in the unexplored heart of Africa a part of this Earth had been taken over by an intelligence from outer space.  Such was the message that reached the explorer Hareton Ironcastle, member of the famous Baltimore Gun Club.  In that hidden and transformed valley would now be found monsters and pre-humans not to be seen anywhere else.

Such a challenge could not be ignored, and the account of Ironcastle's expedition of daring but inexperienced amateurs became one of the classic novels of the French writer, J. H. Rosny, who was a contemporary of Verne, Wells, and Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Now Philip José Farmer, Hugo winner and chronicler of the adventures of Tarzan and Doc Savage, has translated and retold Rosny's novel, making it a marvel adventure novel to stand alongside the works of Burroughs, Haggard and Farmer himself.

THE LAVALITE
WORLD

The lavalite world is a world of slow but constant change.  Here mountains rise from plains, or sink into rifts; new oceans form as vast hollows collapse and seas rush in.  There is only one escape from this world where the very landscape moves.  The one gateway to other universes is in the palace of the Lord Urthona.  Paul Janus Finnegan - also known as Kickaha - must reach it if he is to survive.  And he must do so despite the Lords Urthona and Red Orc, the hired thug McKay, flesh-eating vegetation on the run, beasts of prey, and planetary pseudopods.

THE LAVALITE WORLD:
perhaps Philip José Farmers finest achievement.

THE MAKER
OF UNIVERSES

Robert Wolff's discovery of a strange horn in an empty house catapulted him into the most incredible adventure of all time.  For that horn could open up a door through space-time to a cosmos with dimensions and laws totally different from our own.

The universe he entered was a place of tiers - world upon world piled on each other - and each level was different and more fantastic than the next.  In order to return to his home, Wolff would have to ascend each tier and contend with weird creatures - like Kickaha the Trickster, and Podarge the venomous eagle-woman - until he found his way to the topmost tier... and the god, or the madman, that ruled the universe.

THE MAKER OF UNIVERSES is the first of Philip José Farmer's amazing and original World of Tiers Books - some of the most thrilling and colorful science fiction adventures ever created.

CAPELLA VS ERIDANI VS EARTH

PHILIP JOSÉ FARMER won the Hugo for the best SF novel of last year.  His study of the background of Tarzan made feature headlines in the news.  Now in his latest novel, he turns his literary wizardry to the astonishing science fiction story Jules Verne did not tell in Around the World in Eighty Days.

Who was Phileas Fogg really - this man whose origins were shrouded in mystery and whose actions were guided as if by clockwork?  How could he compute the probababilty of future events so accurately?

THE OTHER LOG OF PHILEAS FOGG is a thoroughly enthralling novel of what went on behind the scenes during Fogg's unprecedented trip - in which not only do two alien races contend for Earth's mastery, but you will meet some even more famous characters you never suspected were involved in the globe-girdling race!

PAPERBACK

A
PRIVATE
COSMOS

The prize-winning science-fiction writer Roger Zelazny writes:

"Philip Jose Farmer... can be stark, dark, smoky, bright, and any color of the emotional spectrum.  He has a fascinating sense of the Sacred and the Profane.  Put quite simply, he arouses awe.  He has the talent and the skill to handle the sacred objects every writer must touch in order to convert the reader, in that timeless, spaceless place called Imagination."

In A PRIVATE COSMOS, the third book about the World of Tiers, that other space-time continuum manufactured by THE MAKER OF UNIVERSES (Ace Book F- 367), Farmer takes up the adventures of the heroic rogue Kickaha.  It takes place shortly after the astonishing events of THE GATES OF CREATION (Ace Book F-412), but is an unique science-fiction experience on its own.  As Zelazny says in his introduction:

"Philip José Farmer is special. . . . Read his story and see what I mean."
