TWO EPIC NOVELS BY A "NEW YORK TIMES "BEST-SELLING AUTHOR TOGETHER IN ONE VOLUME: "Cradle of Saturn "and "The Legend That Was Earth." Earth is in danger from cosmic catastrophe and alien overlords. Two classic novels from a best-selling master of SF. "Cradle of Saturn"Discoveries made by colonists on the moons of Saturn show that the Solar System has undergone repeated cataclysms and the last was only a few thousand years. This flies in the face of accepted scientific dogma, and is dismissed by Earth's authorities--until the planet Jupiter suddenly emits a white-hot Earth-sized protoplanet that hurtles sunward on a collision course with Earth. "The Legend That Was Earth"The alien Hyadeans have showered high-tech gifts on the population of Earth and are offering to make a paradise of the planet. But when wealthy socialite Roland Cade discovers the dark underbelly of the alien presence, and learns that his ex-wife is one of the so-called terrorists who are fighting against the alien takeover, he's forced to choose sides. Soon, he's caught up in a terrifying conflict that threatens the very existence of the Earth.
