No one will believe the truth about the ingenious plot of the Aleriona people to claim title to the almost untouched planet - New Europe. Only Gunnar Heim dares risk his life and interplantary peace to set New Europe free from control of these strange and alien beings. A space-age patriot carves a civilization of the future in a strange new world haunted by surrealistic citizens, walking forests, slaughter machines...and the memories of lost love. Poul Anderson, 1964 winner of the coveted Hugo Award and author of High Crusade, has written an adventure that stuns the imagination...The Star Fox.

'Twas boring in Artesia. ...or so thought Sir Lafayette O'Leary, ex-draftman from Earth, and now seemingly ex-interdimensional swashbuckler extraordinaire as well. His battles were all won, his dragons all slain, and life was just the same boring round of riches, royal hunts and regattas. Boring, boring, boring; untilhe walked past the azalia... Suddenly Artesia was gone, and O'Leary was trapped in Melange, a world of giants and pirates, karate-chopping hags and electronic flying carpets, a world where goons and harlots are the spitting images (literally!) of his own aristocratic Artesian associates. And because they think that he's his double, lots of his new friends want O'Leary dead. Unless he can get through the interdimensional gate and find the continuum path back home, O'Leary's life will never be boring again. Just short.
