Ace Books 1978 0441028934 / 9780441028931 2nd Ace edition mass-market paperback used 
Cover: “Ever since Earth’s first starship crept out on sublight drive a hundred years ago and was met by an emissary of the Galactic Federation, man has lived as a prisoner in the solar system. The Federation decreed that unless man could demonstrate his technological maturity and leave the solar system via a faster-than-light drive, he would not leave it at all. All Earth knows the test that man must pass to win Galactic Citizenship and the freedom of the stars; the FTL Drive is every physicist’s top priority. But what they cannot know is that they work against both an alien time-limit and human sabotage – and time is running out. Unless John Parent’s star-drive project is successful, mankind will remain trapped in the solar system forever.”

4 Dickson, Gordon R Sleepwalker’s World
Daw Books 1972 mass-market paperback used 
Daw Books #28, cover art by Kelly Freas “Shafts driven deep into the Earth’s hot core utilized that buried energy to run the world’s power station. That broadcast energy alone kept the food factories running. Without those factories and that power, the hungry, overpopulated planet could not survive.

But the cost was high, for the power broadcasts had a terrifying side-effect. While they were on, the human race was unable to stay awake.

Among the rare few with immunity to the sleep compulsion was the astronaut Rafe Arnaul Harald, one of the six who had been training on the Moon for the first star voyage. But now, unless humanity could conquer the dark power that was using the sleep phenomenon to paralyze society, that flight might never be made.

To defeat the unknown masters of the sleeping world, Rafe had only the help of a crippled girl, a wolf with a very special ability, and the unique talents of his own mind and body.”

Condition: Pages are age toned. Top edge of page block has date stamps. Cover has rubbing wear, creases, and wear to the edges and corners.

Daw #69 Cover art by Kelly Freas.

Created by the efforts of individuals with extraordinary paranormal powers, the Mass was designed to search the universe for a new habitable planet.

Chaz Sant knew he had the kind of special ability to contribute effectively to the building of the Mass, but somehow the qualifying tests were stacked against him. Then he learned that he had become the special target of an insidious organization that fattened on the fears of the last cities of the world. His confrontation with this organization, their real motives and his unexpected reactions, were to touch off the final showdown for mankind’s last enterprise.”

7 Dickson, Gordon R The R-Master
Daw Books No 137 1975 mass market paperback used cover art Jack Gaughan 
Cover: The World Economic Council said the world had become Utopia. There should be no cause for dissatisfaction. But for those who were still restless, there was the new mind stimulating drug R-47. Those who took R-47 were engaging in a sort of lottery whose rare winners would be super-geniuses and whose losers might be fit only for asylums.

Etter Ho, whose brother was one of the losers, took the drug on the chance that, if he won, he could cure his brother. But what he became when he emerged from the mainlining was something none expected.

For he became a menace to Utopian order, a danger to those who knew him, and the only man who might, just possibly, diagnose the real illnesses of the world."

Condition: Cover has age yellowing and light wear. Pages are clean.
