  Treve, a beautiful and madly-alive collie, must fight for his life after his owner mistreats and rejects him. Through a series of unfortunate events he finds himself on the Dos Hermanos sheep ranch, and the two owners of that ranch become his new masters. Treve immediately loves and is loved by Royce Mack, the younger of the two ranchers, but Joel Fenno, an embittered, cranky old rancher, takes an instant dislike to Treve. He has “no time for measly pets and the like” and shows his contempt for the faithful sheepdog as often as he can. While the brave collie is protecting sheep, saving the ranchers’ lives, being kidnapped by his previous owner, and many other harrowing adventures, his loyalty and love is also turning the heart of a bitter old man.

  The Yes Men of Venus by Ron Goulart -  Privileged we are to bring you this historic story—one which will warm the manly hearts of the legion of devoted admirers of that venerable fantasist, Arthur Wright Beemis. 
  My heart was heavy as I drifted over the remote reaches of the Pacific Ocean in the atomic powered Zeppelin the World League of Peaceful Governments had thoughtfully allowed me to borrow in order to show their gratitude for my having ended the 4th World War several weeks ahead of time with my lucky discovery of a powerful ray that made gun powder ineffectual. This balloon cruise, as pleasant as it was, had been planned as more than just a dedicated scientific attempt to map the migratory routes of the Arctic Curlew. It was to have been, too, my wedding journey. 
  As I followed, with my binoculars, the happily paired curlews flapping to warmer climes I tried to think of some reason for the unpleasant turn events had taken. When I had called for my beloved Joanna on the prior morning her father, the noted munitions tycoon, John Plunderbund Brimstone, had left, not his best wishes for a safe honeymoon but, rather, orders for myself and my Zeppelin to be thrown unceremoniously from the grounds. All my leaden heart could be sure of was that I would never again walk hand in hand with the handsomest, most athletic and yet feminine, girl in the state of New Jersey. The thought of what I was doing would have brought tears to my eyes had I not been as masculine and manly as I am. For the curlew was the one bird that my Joanna and I had always thought of as our bird. 
  But the rapid deflation of my Zeppelin vanquished all self pity from my mind. I was galvanized into action. Placing my binoculars back in their case, I dived without further thought from the gondola of the falling Zeppelin and into the placid waters of the Pacific Ocean.

  DANICA SHARDAE IS an avian shapeshifter, and the golden hawk’s form in which she takes to the sky is as natural to her as the human one that graces her on land. The only thing more familiar to her is war: It has raged between her people and the serpiente for so long, no one can remember how the fighting began. As heir to the avian throne, she’ll do anything in her power to stop this war—even accept Zane Cobriana, the terrifying leader of her kind’s greatest enemy, as her pair bond and make the two royal families one. 
    
  Trust. It is all Zane asks of Danica—and all they ask of their people—but it may be more than she can give.
