Richard A. Lupoff,Michael Kurland
In the tradition of the old "Ace Doubles" two-in-one books (flip one over to read the second title)--here is the twelfth Wildside Double: LISA KANE: A NOVEL OF WEREWOLVES, by Richard A. Lupoff. Lisa is a 12-year-old girl with all the worries of any normal girl beginning the transition to womanhood. She's frightened by the changes happening to her body--the budding breasts, the stiff black hairs that appear on the back of her hands, and the way her nails twist to look like claws during the full moon. Is this normal? Why is she so different from everyone else? Scott A. Culp says: "A good book...that does not deserve to be forgotten." THE PRINCES OF EARTH: A SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL, by Michael Kurland. Adam Warrington is a young man from a repressive plant in the grasp of fundamental Puritanism. Then he's accepted by the University of Sol on Mars, and his great adventure begins. On the way there his spaceship is hijacked by a disgruntled noble who wants to overthrow the emperor, and Adam is forced to choose sides. A grand tale in the tradition of Robert A. Heinlein.

Max Random and the Zombie 500

Mark London Williams
Weeks after watching her principal try to chew up her teacher, and minutes after she'd just lost her family, 12-year-old Aurora Bonsall begins her escape. Alongside Max Random in his hand-built go-kart, they set off across a ruined landscape of studio backlots, wrecked shopping malls, and not-so-abandoned hospitals. At every step, they'll find the not-quite-dead waiting for them. As they head for a rendezvous point where Max insists they'll be safe, it becomes clear that surviving humans can be far more dangerous than the Nano-Zs taking over the world. But as Aurora discovers Max has secrets of his own, she wonders if there can ever be any escape at all.
