Harry Harrison - One ​Step from Earth
What ​if we could transfer objects, even people, across the galaxy in the blink of an eye? What hidden secrets would it reveal? What deadly dangers would it conceal? Will any part of human life be the same when the vastness of the Universe lies only ONE STEP FROM EARTH?

Harry Harrison - A ​Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah!
A ​Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah! (aka Tunnel Through the Deeps) is an alternate history. Harrison began by positing two changes which would've allowed this changed history to exist. In this story, set in an alternate 1973, Washington lost the Battle of Lexington & was executed as a traitor. America remains a British colony dreaming of independence. The other change is that Columbus didn't discover the Americas & the cultures of South America weren't destroyed. Thus Harrison brings into being a British Empire which has survived into the 20th century still influenced by its Victorian creators. But this ideal is threatened by increasing unemployment & the threat of economic decline. The empire needs something to boost its fortunes. So is born an engineering project to link Britain with its colony: a tunnel beneath the sea. Employment will increase & manufacturing will prosper. The hero of the story is Captain Augustine Washington, engineer & descendent of the traitor. As well as wishing to see the tunnel's success, he wants to see his homeland achieve independence, or at least the dominion status of Canada & Australia. He's also in love with Iris, daughter of the genius behind the project, Sir Isambard Brassey-Brunel, who despises the upstart colonial engineer. A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah! is a curiously transatlantic book. The hero is an American, seeking independence for his country, but the British here are benign imperialists.

Harry Harrison - Deathworld ​3.
The ​planet was called Felicity. The name was a joke...except for those compelled to live there. Inhabiting it were beings bred for thousands of years for a single purpose: to attack and destroy.

He thought he had worked out a perfect plan. But what awaited him on Felicity went far beyond his wildest imagings...

The 35 million inhabitants of New York City run their TVs off pedal power, riot for water, loot and trample for lentil 'steaks' and are controlled by sinister barbed wire dropped from the sky. Written in 1966 and set in 1999, _Make Room! Make Room!_ is a witty and unnerving story about stretching the earth's resources, and the human spirit, to breaking point.

Harry Harrison - Vissza ​az Édenbe
Ha ​65 millió évvel ezelőtt egy világméretű kataklizma ki nem irtja a Földön a dinoszauruszok többségét, ma ők lehetnének a bolygó uralkodó életformái. Harry Harrison Éden-trilógiája ebből az izgalmas feltételezésből indul ki, és megpróbálja megtalálni az emberek helyét a megváltozott körülmények között. Kerrick és törzse sikerrel elmenekült az ellenséges hüllőcivilizáció, a jilanèk karmai közül, és egy csendes kis szigeten bújt meg, ahol ismét viszonylagos békében élheti életét. Persze az embereknek tudomásul kell venniük, hogy nemcsak a rivális értelmes faj vadászik rájuk, hanem a környező erdők nagyragadozói is, és hiába loptak fejlett fegyvereket, azokkal sem tarthatnak ki sokáig. És azt még csak nem is sejtik, hogy a jilanèk bosszúszomjas tudósai javában kutatnak egy olyan módszer után, amellyel mindörökre megszabadulhatnak a világukat fertőző kártékony emlősszaporulattól. Az SF kétszeres nagymestere sosem áldozta fel a vad kalandokat a mély gondolatok oltárán, igyekezett úgy egyensúlyozni, hogy olvasói minden téren megkapják, ami nekik jár. Ez a nagyszabású regénye sem okoz csalódást. Keressék a trilógia előző részeit is, az _Édentől nyugatra_ és a _Fagyos Éden_ című köteteket! "Nagy regény, minden értelemben. Szerzőjének széles körű tudását és írói tapasztalatát tükrözi." - _Washington Post Book World_

Vidám ​sci-fi regény Harry Harrison kötete. A Rozsdamentes Acélpatkány címszereplője az immár bűnözésmentes Galaxis egyik utolsó bűnözője, aki remekül szórakozik a bűnnel szemben védtelen bolygók kifosztásán. A bűnözésre nincs szükség, a fogalom maga is elhalt, hiszen az Univerzumban mindenütt egyformán magas az életszínvonal. Nem véletlen, hogy a csillagközi különleges rendfenntartó erők is igényt tartanak a maga területén felülmúlhatatlan szakember szolgálataira. A bűnüldöző szervek - a testületnél minden munkatárs korábban sikeres rabló, de legalább sikkasztó volt - az Acélpatkánynál sokkalta veszedelmesebb ellenfél nyomára bukkantak. Egy gyönyörű és mindenre elszánt asszonyt a Galaxist magát szeretné eltulajdonítani.

Harry Harrison - A ​technicolor® időgép
A ​technicolor időgép a következetesen végigvitt sci-fi ötlet remek példája. A hollywoodi Climactic filmstúdiót csőd fenyegeti. Péntek este van, hétfő reggel megjelennek a bank csődszakemberei. Addigra el kell készülnie a Viking Kolumbusz című monstre szuperprodukciónak, még akkor is, ha az ónorvég sagákat esetleg újra kell értelmezni, és a kritikusok is némi joggal fanyalognak a film földhözragadt realizmusa láttán...

Harry Harrison - Robert Sheckley - On ​the Planet of Bottled Brains
Bill ​should know that you never complain in the Troopers. But when his new foot looks like turning into something green, scaly and abundantly clawed, a visit to the medics would seem to be reasonable. But before he can say 'Quintiform computer error' he seems to have got himself volunteered again, this time for a suicide mission on Tsuris - the planet nobody ever comes back from. A number, exactly a billion in fact, of Tsurisians have no body at all to speak of, and reside in bottles, which as Bill remarks, is an awful lot of bottles. And Bill is going to need all the bottle he possesses to get himself out of this one... If you want to bravely probe where no one has ever probed before, then join Bill, Splock and Captain Dirk as once again our Galactic Hero investigates new depths in the realms of the science fiction cliche.

A telepesek itt szuperemberek… kétszer olyan erősek, mint a szokványos emberek, és a reflexeik egészen lélegzetelállítóak. Szükségük is van rá. Mert ha élni akarnak, gyilkolniuk kell… Jason dinAltra, a csillagközi szerencsejátékosra és hazárdőrre vár a feladat, hogy rájöjjön, miért vált ilyen ellenségessé a Pyrrus bolygó az ember rövid itt-tartózkodása alatt…

Harry Harrison - Helyet! ​Helyet!
Egy ​párhuzamos univerzum 1999-ének New Yorkjában emberpróbáló az élet a környezetszennyezés és a túlnépesedés miatt. A vizet adagolni kell, és igazi húst csak a leggazdagabbak ehetnek, a többiek egyenízű szójakészítményeken tengődnek. Három ember sorsa fonódik össze ebben a barátságtalan világban: Andy Rusch rendőrnyomozó, Billy Chung, a tajvani utcakölyök és Shirl, egy milliomos bűnöző kitartott szeretője járják haláltáncuk egyre szűkülő köreit a fojtogató tömegben, és csak remélhetik, hogy megérik a közelgő ezredfordulót. Harry Harrison európai SF-nagymester világhírű regénye megrázó erejű antiutópia egy olyan lehetséges közelmúltról, amit egyelőre sikerült megúsznunk, de ez nem jelenti azt, hogy a jövőben ne kéne szembenéznünk vele.
