Invasion of the Body Snatchers
(1955)
On a quiet fall evening in the small, peaceful town of Mill
Valley, California, Dr. Miles Bennell discovered an insidious, horrifying
plot. Silently, subtly, almost imperceptibly, alien life-forms were taking
over the bodies and minds of his neighbors, his friends, his family, the
woman he loved -- the world as he knew it.
First published in 1955, this classic thriller of the ultimate alien
invasion and the triumph of the human spirit over an invisible enemy
inspired three major motion pictures.

Assault on a Queen (1959) with
Paul Bacon, Illustrator
Fire Island in early May, after the winter ice melts and
before the summer crowd arrives, is the ideal time to raise a submarine
from the dead. Six adventurers - five men and a woman - salvage a World
War I German submarine from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. They will
use it in executing a daring idea, an idea methodically planned and timed
with scientific precision. Their goal seems fantastic, but if they can
bring it off each one of them will be rich for life. Only the factor of
human relations is not taken into account, and the tension between these
six people begins to mount unbearably as the moment looms closer and
closer for an Assault on a Queen.

From Time to Time (1995)
Simon Morley, whose logic-defying trip to the New York City
of the 1880s in Time and Again has enchanted readers for
twenty-five years, embarks on another trip across the borders of time.
This time Reuben Prien at the secret, government-sponsored Project wants
Si to leave his home in the 1880s and visit New York in 1912. Si's
mission: to protect a man who is traveling across the Atlantic with vital
documents that could avert World War I. So one fateful day in 1912, Si
finds himself aboard the world's most famous ship...the
Titanic.
