The Face of God is what every young saurian learns to call the immense, glowing object which fills the night sky on the far side of the world. Young Afsan is privileged, called to the distant Capital City to apprentice with Saleed the court astrologer. But when the time comes for Afsan to make his coming-of-age pilgrimage, to gaze upon the Face of God, his world is changed forever- for what he sees will test his faith... and may save his world from disaster!

Fossil Hunter is hard SF in the tradition of Larry Niven about a world inhabited by the Quintaglios, a dinosaurian species that has evolved a human level of intelligence and culture.

Toroca, a Quintaglio geologist, is under attack for his controversial new theory of evolution. But the origins of his people turn out to be more complex than even he imagined, for he soon discovers the wreckage of an ancient starship -- a relic of the aliens who transplanted Earth's dinosaurs to this solar system. Now, Toroca must convince Emperor Dybo that evolution is true; otherwise, the territorial violence the Quintaglios inherited from their tyrannosaur ancestors will destroy the last survivors of Earth's prehistoric past.

In Far-Seer and Fossil Hunter, we met the Quintaglios, a race of intelligent dinosaurs from Earth and learned of the threat to their very existence. Now they must quickly advance from a culture equivalent to our Renaissance to the point where they can leave their planet.
While the Quintaglios rush to develop space travel, the discovery of a second species of intelligent dinosaur rocks their most fundamental beliefs. Meanwhile, blind Afsan -- the dinosaurian Galileo -- undergoes the newfangled treatment of psychoanalysis, throwing everything he thought he knew about his violent people into a startling new light.

Caitlin was born blind, and when, newly arrived in tenth grade, she is offered a chance at an experimental procedure to give her sight, she leaps at it, despite previous disappointments. When she returns from the Tokyo hospital in which she underwent the procedure, it seems a failure. Soon enough, though, she discovers that, instead of reality, she is perceiving the Web. What’s particularly interesting is the background noise. Something strange is floating around behind the nodes of normal Webspace; a closer look reveals that, whatever it is, it’s not just meaningless noise. Caitlin’s story alternates with those of Hobo, a chimp whose claim to…

Also called WWW: Wonder Webmind is an emerging consciousness that has befriended Caitlin Decter and grown eager to learn about her world. But Webmind has also come to the attention of WATCH -
the secret government agency that monitors the Internet for any threat to the United States-and they're fully aware of Caitlin's involvement in its awakening. WATCH is convinced that Webmind represents a risk to national security and wants it purged from cyberspace. But Caitlin believes in Webmind's capacity for compassion-and she will do anything and everything necessary to protect her friend.

Also called WWW: Wonder Webmind - the vast consciousness that spontaneously emerged from the infrastructure of the World Wide Web - has proven its worth to humanity by aiding in everything from curing cancer to easing international tensions. But the brass at the Pentagon see Webmind as a threat that needs to be eliminated. Caitlin Decter - the once-blind sixteen-year-old math genius who discovered, and bonded with, Webmind - wants desperately to protect her friend. And if she doesn't act, everything - Webmind included - may come crashing down.

На параллельной Земле неандертальцы создали совершенно иную цивилизацию. Физик Понтер Боддет случайно попадает из своей вселенной в канадский исследовательский центр. К его удаче, команда ученых-людей, включая эксперта-палеоантрополога Мэри Воган, быстро опознают и принимают Понтера. Решить языковую проблему и многие другие мелкие неудобства помогает имплант-компаньон, который вживлен в каждого неандертальца. Однако, он не может устранить межкультурные различия, ведь многое чуждо Понтеру. Не может он и помочь своему коллеге Адекору Халду, оставшемуся в мире неандертальцев и обвиненного в убийстве Понтера.

Портал между двумя мирами снова открыт. Неандертальский физик Понтер Боддет возвращается на нашу Землю, но теперь уже в качестве посланника, призванного помочь двум мирам наладить диалог и культурный обмен. Однако разница в истории, общественном устройстве и духовных ценностях оказывается более серьезной проблемой на пути к сотрудничеству, чем могло показаться изначально. Тем временем генетик Мэри Воган, с которой Понтер возобновляет отношения, оказывается в мире неандертальцев. Теперь у нее есть уникальная возможность исследовать почти утопическую цивилизацию и сравнить наши культуры.

Завершение трилогии «Неандертальский параллакс» — победителя премии «Аврора». Понтер Боддет и его возлюбленная, генетик Мэри Воган, разрываются между двумя мирами, пытаясь найти способ наладить свои невозможные, на первый взгляд, отношения. С помощью запрещенной неандертальской генной инженерии они планируют зачать первого ребенка-гибрида — символ надежды на объединение двух версий реальности. У них есть возможность редактировать генотип ребенка так, чтобы не возникли никакие патологии. Тем временем, пока Земля Мэри борется с коллапсом планетарного магнитного поля, ее руководитель, загадочный Джок Кригер, обратил взор, полный зависти,…

Рассказ из цикла «Шерлок Холмс. Свободные продолжения».
Другое название "Вы видите, но вы не наблюдаете".

On the eve of a secret military operation, an assassin's bullet strikes President Seth Jerrison. He is rushed to the hospital, where surgeons struggle to save his life.
At the same hospital, researcher Dr. Ranjip Singh is experimenting with a device that can erase traumatic memories.

Then a terrorist bomb detonates. In the operating room, the president suffers cardiac arrest. He has a near-death experience-but the memories that flash through Jerrison's mind are not his memories.

It quickly becomes clear that the electromagnetic pulse generated by the bomb amplified and scrambled Dr. Singh's equipment, allowing a random group of people to access one another's minds.

And now one of those people has access to the president's memories- including classified information regarding the upcoming military mission, which, if revealed, could cost countless lives. But the task of determining who has switched memories with whom is a daunting one- particularly when some of the people involved have reason to lie...
