Masters of Space Trilogy

By Robert E Vardeman

This omnibus brings together all three books in Robert E Vardeman’s popular Masters of Space series.

In book one, The Stellar Death Plan, Barton Kinsolving has a lot on his plate.

As mine supervisor for Interstellar Materials’ Deepdig #2 mining operation, he must ensure that the mine is run safely, efficiently, and – most importantly – in a way that doesn’t upset their alien landlords.

Humans are new to the interstellar scene. Desperate to escape a dying planet, they went out into the universe in the search of something better; only to find that others, more numerous and more technologically advanced, had got there before them.

In seeking stolen goods, Kinsolving uncovers a much larger, much more insidious plan – and suddenly, he is a man marked for murder by the company he once served and the woman he once loved. Framed for crimes beyond imagination, hunted by human and alien alike, only Barton can avert an interstellar war of unthinkable proportions!

In The Alien Web Barton Kinsolving soars through hyperspace with Lark Versalles and Rani duLong – two women vying for his love and attention. He must do all he can to put an end to the Stellar Death Plan, a plot to murder an entire planet of alien beings, lest an intergalactic war breaks out…

The final tale in this omnibus is A Plague in Paradise, in which Barton Kinsolving and Lark Veralles desperately jump to a planet called Paradise, in order to escape their pursuers. Kinsolving hopes to lie low for a while and evade recapture, having escaped imprisonment for a crime he did not commit. However, as events unfold it seems that Paradise may not live up to its name …

This omnibus edition of the Masters of Space novels is a must-read for all fans of the series, and will appeal to all who enjoy high-quality science fiction.
