'Another End' by Vincent King
Published by PBS Limited in the UK IN 1971
Seven hundred times he had deliberately tried to die and each time his Probe had brought him back. And yet Adamson had actually died, dissolved, dissoluted thousands of times. And thousands of times the Probe had helped him grope his way back to the eternal search. ... The search for Life. ... Home Planet was eons in the past - there would be nothing left there. Yet the galaxies and the Abyss yawned vast. And empty. Sterile. It was this that drove Adamson to despair. ... The Probe felt Adamson's desperation as his own. Yet it had one object beside the search for Life. Preservation of Life. And the only life it had was the Son of Adam in its care. ... So they lived on. On and on. Without end.

Published by Major Books [1978] USA.
When his wife and son are killed in a freak auto accident, professor Glenn Randolph looks to the future for a better world. He proves his theory of induced hibernation by placing himself in his own invention, a time capsule, and falls into a 375-year sleep. Randolph awakes to the horrors of a barren land populated by savage mutants, but finds his way to an oasis called “The Holy City” where a beautiful society of humans live and practice a religion devoted to gods from the stars – aliens who are sapping the genes of the strongest humans to strengthen their own civilization. Randolph is forced to use every ounce of physical power and cunning to save his life … and the community of beautiful Earth people from extinction.

'The Lone Ranger' by Fran Striker
Paperback novel published by Everest Books Ltd, Great Britain, 1977
Cover art : Unknown
The Night Legion! The valley seemed an eerie place, with only the soft clump of hoofs to break the deathlike stillness. The Lone Ranger and Tonto felt a foreboding of evil, something unexplainable in the air. Yet there was no sound. The horses, too, felt it. Though no command was given, they slowed their pace until they barely moved. A shaft of light struck down as the moon broke through the clouds for a moment. The Lone Ranger bolted upright, pulling on Silver's reins. The pale light reflected from the face of a man directly ahead and slightly above the Lone Ranger. It was a distorted face, with wide-staring eyes, and open mouth. A dead man! He was hanging from a branch above the trail. Another victim of the Night Legion ...

Cover Art : Bob Haberfield
Harold Newman was a less than average bank clerk with a recurring nightmare - how to make his figures balance at the end of the day.
Until the day he woke up as a mathematical genius, a super-brain.
What was his connection with the inexorable workings of the first successful Time Machine?
And what was the link with the Past that made him a potential threat to the existence of the earth?
The Security Officers working for the World President probed time to find out. Because mankind was on the brink of discovering a formula for breaking-down the fissional basis of everyday objects that could either ensure the continuance of life on earth or destroy it altogether.
So the order went out: Kill the super-brain - whoever he is!
