The Vampires of the Void
8 pp · Science Fiction

Captain Dave Kenton discovers an alien fleet from Palmoora has attacked Earth's space stations, putting soldiers into an uncontrollable sleep before abducting them as fuel for mysterious "life-vaults." Captured and brought before the beautiful but ruthless Myrza, Kenton must convince her of his loyalty while secretly uncovering the aliens' weakness—and plotting to turn their own technology against them. A tense game of deception unfolds as Kenton races against time to stop the vampires of the void before Earth's finest are drained to nothing.

Jack Rance and Tommy Peters travel back through time to a prehistoric jungle at Professor Blake's request, only to discover that Dr. Gregg's long-lost daughter, the fierce Princess Rhoa, now rules a cave settlement and has grown to despise the modern world her parents fled. When raiders from a neighboring tribe kidnap Rhoa, Jack must battle through the ancient jungle and face off against the ruthless giant Ogg to rescue her—and convince her that not everything about his world deserves her hatred. A swashbuckling journey through time where a Stone Age princess confronts the complexities of a civilization she's never known.
