Games Psyborgs Play

Setni: Book 2

Pierre Barbet

Captain Setni, of all the officers of space, was the most immune to hypnotic suggestions and psychological delusions. Hence, when reports reached the Great Brains of a strange new planet on the Hydra group, Setni was the logical astronaut to check it out.

Because by all accounts the planet seemed a double of Old Earth- but of Earth as it had been in the far past- and legendary beings were alive and well there.

Setni was specially trained for the task, but even the best training in disbelief was not sufficient. For on that pseudo-Earth, not only was Charlemagne in power and knighthood in flower, but the pagan gods were visible, physically real, and devilishly active.

Setni knew it was no illusion - but then what was the reality?

The Enchanted Planet

Setni: Book 3

Pierre Barbet

Planets cannot appear and disappear - especially not in a galaxy that had been mapped, colonized and controlled by the united Great Brains of the many intelligent races. Thus when a new planet popped up out of nowhere, it was an unprecedented phenomenon. When the planet turned out to be identical with one of the fantasy epics of the ancient Earth, it was cause for alarm...

Where the problem of sorcery versus technology is concerned, there was only one man in the space service experienced enough to cope with it. That was Captain Setni - and it fell to him to explore this enchanted planet of dragons and demons and damsels in distress - and return alive with the scientific truth.
