Garfield lives his life to the fullest . . . 9 times! Cave Cat -- the first cat crawled out of the sea 10 million years ago. He was happy to be out of the water -- until he met Big Bob! The Vikings -- he was big, he was mean, he was a Viking. Garfield the Orange had looted a lot of cities, but none like St. Paul, Minnesota. Babes and Bullets -- Sam Spayed wasn't the best private investigator in the world, but he did have one terrific thing going for him -- a secretary who made a great cup of coffee. The Exterminators -- no mouse was safe from the exterminators. Catching mice was their life. It wasn't a pretty job -- especially the way they did it. Lab Animal -- specimen 19-GB was not happy at the prospect of being dissected, so he did something about it. What happened set the federal government on its ear. The Garden -- life was a carefree romp among hovering harmonicas for Cloey and the orange kitten . . . until they confronted the crystal box. Primal Self -- he was an ordinary house cat leading an ordinary existence. A shadowy memory from another time changed all that. Garfield -- the marvelous cat we all know and love. This is his life in a nutshell. Space Cat -- he was lost in space with a computer built by the lowest bidder. And, he was not about to let his life slip away that easily.

WHAT'S HAPPENED TO HOLLYWOOD PLAYGIRL DEBRA LAROCHE? No one has heard from her in weeks. Her former boss, L.A. lawyer Nan Robinson, is certain that Debra would not willingly abandon her divorce proceedings or her Hollywood muscle boys for such a long time without letting someone know. The police hardly care, so troubled Nan undertakes the thankless task of sifting through the flotsam of Debra's headlong existence for clues to her whereabouts. But Debra's Hollywood playmates are cagey. Her abusive husband is of little help. And her concerned colleagues at Malibu's elegant Past Lives Institute are politically nonplussed. Nan feels she's reaching a dead end, and perhaps she will--for a murderer decides that another "disappearance" may soon be necessary: namely Nan's.... "Taffy Cannon, I predict, shortly will be recognized as one of the genre's heavy hitters....Cannon is a gifted writer, adept at plot and people, making her debut an event that readers everywhere should cheer." --The San Diego Union-Tribune
