Zacząłem kuć skałę dłutem i młotkiem. Uderzałem powoli i ostrożnie. Skała była bardzo twarda i każdy nawet najsłabszy cios wymagał wysiłku. Uzbroiwszy się w cierpliwość, pracowałem tak ostrożnie jak nigdy w życiu. Muszę, muszę go wyjąć - ta myśl, to pragnienie zawładnęło moim umysłem, wypierając wszystko inne. Nie postrzegałem słońca, które zamieniło rozpadlinę w gorący kocioł. Nie przerywając kucia, najpierw zrzuciłem kolczugę, a później skórzany kaftan i obnażony do pasa nadal uderzałem w twa...

In a sweeping generational saga, the story of Warlock is told by three humans:
Shann Lontee was the lowest-ranking member of an exploration team sent to the newly discovered planet Warlock. When the insectile Throgs attacked the base, only he and two trained wolverines escaped. Hunted by the Throgs, he and the wolverines had to survive without technology on an alien world. Then he discovered the Wyvern, who were his only hope-if they weren't an even more deadly menace than the Throgs.
Charis Nordholm was sold into slavery by the outlaw colony on the planet Demeter. The trader, Jogon, who holds her contract, was on his way to Warlock to trade with the Wyvern. But the alien witches had ominous plans of their own, and both Charis and Shann Lantee found themselves fighting for their lives.
Ziantho's mental powers had made her a valuable asset to the interstellar criminals she worked for. Then she encountered a gem of ancient power and stole it. Pursued both by the stone's owners and the agents of the Patrol, she fled across the galaxy and encountered Ris Lantee who alone could solve the powerful gem's mystery.

LOST IN TIME.
Exploring space and time is a dangerous business, and no one knows this better than Time Agents Travis Fox and Ross Murdock. So when both men are stranded on far-off planets with no hope of rescue from Earth, they must rely on their wits and their training to survive.
But survival is only the beginning. To better handle the rigors of the alien world of Topaz, Fox and his crewmates have been implanted with the memories of their Apache ancestors-but the Opposition has sent its own team with the reawakened memories of their Mongol ancestors!
Meanwhile, Murdock is trapped in the ancient past of the water world of Hawaika, facing terrifying wizards in a kingdom he knows will soon be utterly annihilated by an alien empire that is bent on the conquest of the entire galaxy.
The fates of two worlds, and possibly the galaxy itself, will be determined by the actions of these castaways in time-and whatever happens, the lives of Time Agents everywhere will be changed forever . . .
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Ross Murdock wasn't your typical hero. Rebellious, brilliant, and fiercely independent, he found himself thrust into a world beyond imagination. Whispers of a Soviet plot to rewrite history using time travel sent him hurtling through the ages, landing amidst the turmoil of the Bronze Age. His mission: to neutralize the source of their power and safeguard the past. But amidst forgotten civilizations and the watchful eyes of a mysterious alien race, unraveling the truth threatened to unravel time itself. Would Ross succeed in his desperate mission, or would history be forever altered?
DRAFTED INTO THE ARMY OF TIME.
Intelligence agents have uncovered something which seems beyond belief, but the evidence is incontrovertible: the USA's greatest adversary on the world stage is sending its agents back through time! And someone or something unknown to our history is presenting them with technologies-and weapons-far beyond our most advanced science. We have only one option: create time-transfer technology ourselves, find the opposition's ancient source . . . and take it down.
When small-time criminal Ross Murdock and Apache rancher Travis Fox stumble separately onto America's secret time travel project, Operation Retrograde, they are faced with a challenge greater than either could have imagined possible. Their mere presence means that they know too much to go free. But Murdock and Fox have a thirst for adventure, and Operation Retrograde offers that in spades.
Both men will become time agents, finding reserves of inner heroism they had never expected. Their journeys will take the battle to the enemy, from ancient Britain to prehistoric America, and finally to the farthest reaches of interstellar space . . .
Danger in the stars!
The birth of a hero is never easy. Clumsy as an elephant in high heels, he is nothing like his legendary scout father.
But inside that bull-moose-of-a-body lies the heart of a hero whose moment has arrived! Next, a boy survives alien invasion-but must learn to think and act like his reptilian enemy to exact retribution for slaughter.
These and two other tales of coming-of-age-through-peril from the writer who invented the genre, Andre Norton. Includes 'The X Factor,' 'Voorloper,' 'The Eye of the Monster,' and 'The Sioux Spaceman'-all set in Norton's 'Council/Confederation' universe.
Two Andre Norton Forerunner novels, Forerunner and Forerunner: The Second Venture, featuring young Forerunner/human hybrid Simsa, collected for the first time in one volume.
Forerunner: On ancient port world planet Kuxortal, young Simsa grows up among garbage pickers who live upon the ancient ruins of a fallen galactic civilization-the Forerunners. But Simsa has always been different. When Simsa's mentor dies, she must scrape a poor existence from an unyielding planet. But then Thom, a star ranger, arrives from the heavens, and he leads Simsa on a path to the discovery of her origins that takes both through danger to the ultimate revelation.
Forerunner: The Second Venture: Simsa has escaped the criminal guilds of Kuxortal only to find herself held prisoner by starfaring humans intent on discovering the secrets of the Forerunners contained within her. With the aid of her pet zorsal, Simsa escapes her captors and crash lands on a sandy world full of danger and mystery-another world touched by ancient Forerunner civilization. Now Simsa must escape death at alien hands while battling the spirit within her that seeks to possess her very being and transform her into something utterly inhuman.
Two masters of epic fantasy have combined in this brilliant collaboration to create a rousing tale of the sort that becomes an instant favorite. This is the story of Shana, a halfbreed born of the forbidden union of an Elvenlord father with a human mother. Her exiled mother dead, she was rescued and raised by dragons, a proud, ancient race who existed unbeknownst to elven or humankind. From birth, Shana was the embodiment of the Prophecy that all-powerful Elvenlords feared. Her destiny is the enthralling adventure of a lifetime.
