        Hamlet? It's not really a book so I'm not sure it counts

                              I don't recognize those, but I thought of a few more. These are all by the same author.


                              An expedition from a Massachusetts university to Antarctica discovers an ancient city! Could it have been built by ancient aliens?

                              Letters from a Vermont man document the appearance of fungoid aliens. Will the professor arrive before the aliens steal the man's brain?

                              A young man's physician investigates his patient's mental illness. You'll never guess what he finds hidden beneath the young man's bungalow!
                              "I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We are all star stuff." I suddenly remember Delenn's line from Joe's script. Not a bad prospect. I am not afraid. In the meantime, let me close my eyes and sense the beauty around me. And take that breath under the dark sky full of stars. Breathe in. Breathe out. That's all."

                                Couple more by different authors:

                                Nazi spy learns of D-Day deception - he must be stopped!

                                Drug ring murders mule, her ex-Navy-SEAL boyfriend takes revenge.

                                That plane is NOT friendly - the hunt is on to destroy it.
