The Stars Are Waiting

On a certain street in Washington, there is a certain building which makes the Pentagon, by comparison, look like Open House. I'm not going to tell you even what street the building is on. If I did, a certain very secret division of the FBI would be breathing down my neck before you could say "Security." So; on this certain street, in this certain building, is a certain room, and I sleep in that room.
My name is David Rohrer, and I am an M.D. with certain other qualifications. If you're getting bored with these equivocations, read on; I'll be specific enough in a minute or two.
It was on a Tuesday night in 1964; that's close enough to the actual date. If you're curious, it was six months to the day after India closed all her frontiers. Of course, you didn't read about that in the newspapers, but if you were a tourist or a missionary going to India, you found out about it the hard way.
As I say, on a Tuesday night in 1964, about eleven-thirty the phone in my room suddenly rang. I swore, sat up, grabbed the thing and put it to my ear. I knew it would be important; there are no outside lines in the building except a specially sealed off and scrambled wire which goes to the White House, and another one to a room on the top floor of the Pentagon. The room telephones are all inside communication, easier, and more private than a public address system.
"Rohrer," I said curtly.
I recognized the voice that answered. You would too; you've hear it often enough, telecast from the floor of the Senate. "Get down here, Doc, right away. Flanders is back!"

Seven from the stars
Reidel had been caring for the animals on the colony ship before its destruction. He hadn't expected to find himself the leader of the survivors. While there were only seven of them, but they were a varied group, both in psi powers and in temperment. He also had to deal with the people on the Closed Planet they had been marooned on... and then there were the enemy aliens to worry about.
The house between the worlds
WORLD WALKER OR'TWEENMAN
Fenton was only a 'tweenman, without body or shadow; his body lay back in the laboratory where Dr. Garnock was experimenting with a new drug. Yet Fenton was in the fairy world of the Alfar, helplessly watching the Faerie Queen of the Alfarattacked and captured by the hideous, goblinlike ironfolk. And he was fading, irresistibly being drawn back to his body.
He had to return to save the Faerie Queen--and to save his own world from the ironfolk. But not even Sally Lobeck would believe him. Garnock refused him more drug and confiscated the talisman that would have let him return in his body as a worldwalker, free to move through the Gateways between worlds.
His only hope lay in finding the mysterious House between the Worlds. But the House could only be found when and where it wanted. And apparently, it didn't want Fenton to find it!

The Door Through Space

baixe AQUI o audiobook em inglês.
At one time Race Cargill had been the best Terran Intelligence agent on the complex and mysterious planet of Wolf. He had repeatedly imperiled his life amongst the half-human and non-human creatures of the sullen world. And he had repeatedly accomplished the fantastic missions until his name was emblazoned with glory.
But that had all seemingly ended. For six long years he’d sat behind a boring desk inside the fenced-in Terran Headquarters, cut off there ever since he and a rival had scarred and ripped each other in blood-feud.

But when THE DOOR THROUGH SPACE swung suddenly open, the feud was on again—and with it a plot designed to check and destroy the Terran Empire.
