Every status-quo-caste society in history has left open two roads to rise above your caste: The Priest and The Warrior. But in a society of TV and tranquilizers - the Warrior acquires a strange new meaning....

Творчество известного американского писателя-фантаста Мака Рейнолдса (1917-1983) представлено романами "Недремлющее око", "Пионер космоса" и "Божественная сила".

Мак Рейнольдc (Даллас Мак-Корд Рейнольдc) наград не получал, титула Великого мастера фантастики не удостаивался. Зато практически каждое его произведение вызывало поистине бурные скандалы. Зато именно он придумал уникальную ООП — Организацию Объединенных Планет. Планет с самыми невозможными и невероятными политическими, социальными и культурными системами, пребывающих в весьма хрупком равновесии.
Когда же это равновесие нарушается (или грозит нарушиться) — начинается работа тайных агентов ООП!..
Перед вами — увлекательные детективы далекого будущего.
Вы сомневаетесь?
Прочитайте — и проверьте сами!..

По признанию американских читателей, писатель-фантаст Мак Рейнольдс (1917-1983) стоит в одном ряду с такими корифеями научно-фантастического жанра, как Р.Шекли, Ф.Пол и другие. Оригинальные творения Рейнольдса имеют колоссальный успех у поклонников научной фантастики благодаря его мастерству соединять, казалось бы, несоединимое: например, серьезные идеи по улучшению общества, футуристические прогнозы и динамичный, захватывающий сюжет, интригу, тайну.
Романы `Дуэльный кодекс` и `Космические варвары`, представленные на суд российского читателя, написаны по канонам настоящей боевой фантастики. Что-то неладное происходит на планетах Фьоренца и Каледония... Не пора ли и нам разобраться в ситуации вместе с автором и героями-землянами, которые попадают в калейдоскоп забавнейших приключений, изложенных с остроумием, достойным пера Марка Твена и О.Генри.

В сборник включены два фантастических произведения: "Фактор бунта" и "Галактический орден доблести". Земле угрожает инопланетное вторжение. Лейтенант Матерс на маленьком патрульном корабле вступает в бой с крейсером краденов и уничтожает его.

Даллас Маккорд Рейнольдс (1917 - 1983), известный поклонникам фантастики как Мак Рейнольдс (впрочем, также и под именами Кларк Коллинз, Гай Мак - Корд, Каллас Росс и Марк Мэллори - таков список использовавшихся им псевдонимов), - американский фантаст, снискавший славу величайшего мастера социоэкономического НФ. Сам он всячески настаивал на таком определении, однако творчество его такой характеристикой отнюдь не исчерпывается - это просто талантливейший и интереснейший писатель, чье творчество отечественным читателям до сих пор остается малоизвестным - на русском языке вышла пока одна лишь его книга "Фиеста отважных" (1993). Вошедший в данный сборник роман публикуется в России впервые, а рассказы впервые собраны вместе, ибо были рассеяны по сборникам и периодике.

Rex Bader is a private investigator from earth who is called to Island Three at the LaGrange Point to solve the mystery of the missing professor and father of the entire LaGrange Point project. At the same time as the investigation, the cases of Wide Syndrome (a contagious kind of claustrophobia) are on the increase and there are talks of revolution. Who is behind all three scenarios and what can Rex do to save the day?

A world had collapsed around this man—a world that would never shout his praises again. The burned-out cities were still and dead, the twisted bodies and twisted souls giving him their last salute in death. And now he was alone, alone surrounded by memories, alone and waiting . . .

A gun is an interesting weapon; it can be hired, of course, and naturally doesn't care who hires it. Something much the same can be said of the gunman, too....

Dreams of lasting peace are shattered by one momentous discovery. One of the members of an international team of scientists stationed on the moon has found an alien spacecraft – with all its incredible technology and weaponry intact. The discovery shatters the illusion of peace on Earth, as each nation joins the mad scramble to learn the terrible secrets entombed by alien visitors eons before. Only one thing prevents total war – Werner Brecht, the discoverer of the vehicle, is the only one who knows its location and he has disappeared into thin air.

Morris should have functioned perfectly in the rigid totalitarian society of the future where every thought, evey word, every action was controlled by the superstate. A state where everyone was watched night and day by the Great Eye of the internal security forces, It was a strange, in many ways inhuman world, but the rewards were great for those who belonged to the right caste. Morris belonged to the master class which ruled the entire world by brain power or brutality depending on which was needed. Morris was born right at the top – he had everything the Technate Society could provide – and yet he didn't belong. Nonconformity could mean liquidation, but he was prepared to take the risk.

The political situation in the 21st century was coming to the boil: one man, a scientist, held what might be the important key to ultimate power in the struggle between the three blocs: West-world, Sov-world, and Common Europe. The scientist, Auguste Bazaine, disappears, and each bloc accuses the other of kidnapping. There was only one way to settle the difference! So nine men were chosen to fight to the death in a trial by combat organised by the World Court. The winner will put his country on top. But when an American and a Russian meet face to face—the result is not what was expected!

Western society is split up into nine castes, from Lower-Lower to Mid-Lower all the way up to the privileged Upper-Upper. Mauser himself was born a Mid-Lower. Ambitious, he had chosen one of the few professions, Category Military, where upward mobility was still a reasonable possibility. To prevent any chance of a ruinous war between the West and the Sov-world, the Universal Disarmament Pact had restricted all militaries to pre-1900 technology. Gradually, powerful corporations began settling business disputes by hiring troops to fight real battles (fracases) on one of many military reservations. This served a dual purpose: to maintain a military well-honed by actual combat and to provide the decadent general population with a diversion. The life-and-death struggles are so popular that they are televised. Mauser had worked his way up to captain and Middle-Middle status after many years of effort. When upstart Vacuum Tube Transport finds itself forced into an expensive, division-sized fracas with Continental Hovercraft, he sees his opportunity. He signs up with the underdog, even though the much wealthier Continental is able to hire the best soldiers available, including Marshal «Stonewall» Cogswell, the finest commander in the business. Mauser tells Baron Haer, the head of Vacuum Tube, that he can engineer an improbable victory with a gimmick he has been working on for a long time; in return, he expects the baron's support which, in conjunction with his anticipated popularity with fracas fans, should be enough to get him promoted into the Upper caste. The baron's son, Bart, scoffs at the undisclosed idea, but the baron is desperate for experienced officers and hires him.

In the 21st Century the face of war had changed. Atomic weapons – out! Bazookas and rockets—nyet! Machine guns—maybe. The newest secret weapon—gliders! East and West had managed an uneasy truce in the arms race by banning ail weapons developed before 1900—and restricting wars to local disputes between corporations or companies and unions. It was a crazy way of doing things, but it worked—until an ambitious Major upset the apple cart, and threw the world's peace into deadly peril! In this exciting picture of the next century, veteran science-fiction writer MACK REYNOLDS combines mastery of a unique setting with a fast-action story of combat and intrigue.

Something is rotten in tomorrow's computer world. The time: the not-too-distant future. Physical work is done by robot devices. Men and women are endowed at birth with a sum of credit called Inalienable Basic. Everyone operates with a Universal Credit Card—which is also identification, police record, medical record, and many other things. Every detail of life in the United States of the Americas is stored in the International Data Center, located in Denver. Paul Kosloff, a language teacher, is rescued from a mysterious assault by a secret agent of the authorities who insists that only he, Kosloff, can prevent the International Data Center from being destroyed—and every living being's data wiped out. Kosloff goes forth…into a maelstrom of plot and counter-plot, murder, treason—and worse!
