Get Off The Unicorn





Fourteen wonderful stories from a master of the genre

A splendid selection of stories from the lady who taught dragons to fly and rockets to sing . . . 

Lady in the Tower
The Rowan was one of a select group of telepaths—a complete Prime, one of only five. Then one day, another Prime appeared mysteriously from the outer boundaries of space, asking for help in a savage battle against evil!

Finder's Keepers
Young Peter had a unique gift which earned him and his mother a little money and gave pleasure to others. Then, one day, an unscrupulous man forced Peter to use his precious gift in a crooked scheme—and Peter grew up fast!

Honeymoon
Helva and her new brawn were sent on an especially urgent mission . . . a mission that not only put them both in great danger, but a mission that also caused them to break the ultimate taboo!

The Smallest Dragon Boy
The only thing Keevan wanted in life was to be a dragonrider, just like his father . . . but everything seemed to stand in his way!
