Subject: Insects. 1995.; From cover: "On a planet at the outer edges of a galaxy lives invincible robots, perfect-in-design. They are metamorphs, capable of molding their armored skeletons to any form necessary for survival - from the most grotesque life forms to those of poetic beauty. They outnumber the other inhabitants of this distant land by many billion, and their sole purpose in life is to multiply, to be the last life form on a world when no other is left. The galaxy is own own, the planet is Earth, and this is the story of the creatures we call INSECTS. As with an alien life form - this largest the size of a mouse - they have dominated the world we always thought of as our own for over 300 million years. From rituals of reproduction to the heavy-duty adaptable engineering of the insect exoskeletons, this series puts you right into a world you won't recognize even though it surrounds you. On a planet where they reign supreme, this is the alien empire of the INSECTS."; Video . (more information)

As so many have before, he sets his feet upon the pilgrim's path, becoming a wanderer in search of true wisdom, But who can know the ways of the Gods, or foretell the twists of fortune? Unbeknownst to Hari, his quest has become the subject of a wager between two immortals: Mohini, a pulchritudinous Apsara, and the vilely demonic Ravana, who lusts after her. Mohini and Ravana are at an impasse, Both are weary of arguing with each other-but while Mohini's idea of a happy outcome is to have Ravana go away and leave her alone, Ravana's ideas run along other lines entirely. They settle upon a contest and a wager. with the loser bound to do the winner's bidding. Each immortal will seek to influence the unsuspecting Hari in accordance with his or her own nature. Mohini, joyful and romantic, must lead well-favored young Hari to become entangled in the charms of seven different women. At the same time, the malign and violent Ravana will have an equal number of chances to get Hari killed. Verily, the sages have written that there is a seeker born every minute; but Hari's journey of discovery is fated to be stranger-and far livelier-than most." . (more information)

Light rubbing on DJ. ; 8.5 x 5.8 inches; 318 pages; From DJ: "It is said (by whom, we are not certain) that a child who tastes the Wine of the Gods too early is only half a person afterwards. Young Prince Amatus learned all too well the bitter truth of that ancient saying when he secretly sipped the forbidden elixir, leaving him literally half the lad he'd once been-not just a figure of speech; indeed, his left side vanished without a trace. His father, the fierce but fair King Boniface, was (only a figure of speech in this instance) beside himself, and the royal retainers responsible for the mishap were punished severely, leaving the young prince entirely without protectors. But a year and a day later, four mysterious strangers appeared to take their places. And since a year and a day is an auspicious time in tales of this sort, it was clear to the King that Great Matters Were Afoot. Golias, a burly itinerant scholar, applied for the post of royal alchemist. Mortis, a chilly, lovely sorceress with scaly skin and silver hair, offered her services as court witch. Psyche, a simple young maid with sea-gray eyes and a musical voice, came to be the prince's caretaker. And seeking the position of Captain of the Guard came a grim, gnarled, giant manslayer in an iron mask-a figure known only as the Twisted Man. There were whispers that these odd outlanders were not what they seemed, and King Boniface had many misgivings, but at last he relented-just as well, or there would be no tale to tell. As Amatus grew to manhood, the four Companions helped him cope with his curious curse and guided him on a perilous quest to discover his true destiny-and, of course, excitement, danger, tragedy, triumph, and true love." .
