When the dead begin to appear in stolen bodies to fight for control of the universe, the bio-engineered Edenists must unite with the nano-augmented Adamists to hold off the spread of evil. But as the stage is set for this face-off, factions within the hordes of dead emerge with an even more sinister agenda.

Lawrence Newton is a mercenary employed by Zantiu-Braun, a corporation that collects unpaid debts from interstellar colonies. Newton and his Third Fleet set out for the planet Thrallspring, where the residents are more than prepared to defend their planet and its assets from this usurious and monolithic corporation known for taking hostages and land stripping in their efforts to recover licensing fees. Tired of being passed up for promotion by Zantiu-Braun, Newton concocts a renegade plan to loot a weapons cache on Thrallspring and retire on the score. But the secret of the technology of the "dragons" has universe-altering implications, launching Newton backward in time and space in a scramble to correct a bungled love affair that sent him--and the universe--adrift years ago.

New Voices in SF lead us to New Worlds Michael Moorcock's legendary science-fiction magazine of the '60s is now the best anthology series of the '90s, winning critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic. "The stories are powerful...well-worth buying". -- Orson Scott Card "The best ever...the range of fiction is impressive...". -- Norman Spinrad The first volume of White Wolfs series of New Worlds presents brilliant speculative fiction by award-winning authors and talented new authors -- including Brian Aldiss, Eric Brown, Pat Cadigan, Graham Charnock, Peter F. Hamilton, Noel K. Hannah, Graham Joyce, Garry Kilworth, Christine Manby, Michael Moorcock, Kim Newman, Andrew Stephenson, Howard Waldrop and Ian Watson. Where Legends are Made In the 1960s Britain's New Worlds magazine was the beginning of the New Wave in SF, a movement that grabbed hold in the United States through the works of writers such as Harlan Ellison and Roger Zelazny. It was in England, however, under the editorialship of Michael Moorcock, that new talents in science fiction like J.G. Ballard and Brian W. Aldiss could shine. New Worlds returns to transport readers with stories by both daring new voices and still-scintillating old ones.
