TELEPATH ALERT!

Democracy is crumbling in the Interstellar Dominion Electorates and the LORDS are preparing a coup.

If Dar and Samantha can't get their message to Terra in time, nothing will prevent the forces of totalitarianism from taking control.  And every police ship in space has just been alerted that they are dangerous telepaths to be shot on sight!

On the world Gramarye, superstition wasn't just a fact, it was a way of life.  The Romantic Emigrés of Earth had developed a unique society, bred especially for the gracious qualities of espers.  And these talented espers took the wonderous shapes of elves, dwarves, witches, werewolves, ghosts, and other underground creatures.

It was square Rid Gallowglass' mission to save the Gramatyans from themselves (?) or others (aliens?).  His only help in this epic undertaking was his epileptic computer-brained robot-horse, Fess.

Oh, and one other helpful thing: the Gramaryans were sure he was a warlock.  Of course, he was sure he wasn't... wasn't he?

A forgotten colony of Earth... an abandonded planet of telepathic outlaws where a reluctant warlock proves that science and sorcery can mix!

The Warlock

Here's Gramarye, a gentle planet where, in the Thirty-first Century, people choose the life-style of medieval England; except they're prejudiced agasint and persecute their witches and warlocks (espers, naturally).

Rod Gallowglass (dubbed High Warlock in spite of himself) is stationed where as an agent of the intergalactic DDT - Decentralized Democratic Tribunal - to protect the precious esper colony from its primitive fellow Gramaryans, and to insure a gradual integration.

This already whacky society is stirred up with a batch of paranoid esper Neanderthals led by the strange King Kobold, brought in by alien futurians to destroy those espers so vital to DDT's future.

When this unhealthy mess starts brewing, our warlcok-cum-everyman is the one to watch.  For a mixture of fun, swords, sorcery and science, KING KOBOLD may be the year's best potboiler.

Five hundred years from their own time on the magical planet Graniarye, Rod and Gwen Gallowglass are held captive on another world.  Lost within time and space, they struggle for freedom and survival...

Magnus, Cordelia, Geoffrey, Gregory.  With their mother's powers and their father's training, they're a match for anyone or anything, from any place... or any time!

Beyond science and sorcery, time and space, the enemies of peace once again come to the planet Garmayre.  Their mission: to tempt the clergy with visions of power and lead them against the throne.  Only the warlock Rob Gallowglass can stop it - or burn at the stake for trying...

Fess was, indeed, a beloved cyborg.  But what about the masters he served before Rod Gallowglass?  What about the young, spoiled joyrider?  Or the revolutionary hero?  Or the crew of a pirate ship?  The Gallowglass children are about to hear the truth... from the horse's mouth.

Armed with superior technological prowess, Rod Gallowglass has so far been equal to the challenges of planet Gramarye.  But can he beat an evil sorcerer on the battlefield of the mind?

IF MUSIC BE THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE... ROCK ON!
Mysterious, floating crystals have captured the eyes - and ears - of the good folk of Gramarye, young and old alike.  Enchanting, yes.  But what exactly are these strange, musical rocks... and where did they come from?  From the past?  The future?  Or the magical minds of the people themselves?  Rod Gallowglass intends to find out - before his children sell their souls to rock and roll...

Even the son of a warlock gets restless sometimes.  And when Magnus sets off to see the world, his father, Rod Gallowglass, and the robot horse, Fess, can't resist trailing behind.  Someone's got to protect young Maguns from spellbinding witches, enchanted maidens, and jealous husbands.  But when it comes to real danger - and growing up - Magnus is on his own...

After a series of novels that ran an incredible thirty-five years, the story of Rod Gallowglass - The Warlock in Spite of Himself - comes to its unforgettable finale in the weird and wonderful world of Gramayre...

For Rod Gallowglass, the Lord Hogh Warlock of Gramayre, and his with-wife, Gwendylon, the weddinga of three of their children - especially Cordelia's marriage to Crown Prince Alain - is a time for great celebration.  But then, Gwen falls ill and dies, leaving behind a husband dangerously unhinged by grief - and a lanf without a Protector.

As Rod wonders the forest in search of Gwen's spirit, his Heirs - particularly the Rogue Wizard Magnus - must defend Gramayre against the forces of evil that are gathering to take advantage of the High Warlock's absence.  But it's not clear if the reluctanct Magnus will be a fit champion - or even if he will finally accept his birthright.  For only then will Rod be free to do what his heart demands - seek out his beloved Gwen in the land beyond life...
