In the science fiction novel ''Worlds of the Imperium'', the Imperium is formed in an alternate history where the American Revolution did not occur, and the British Empire and Germany merged into a unified empire in 1900. The protagonist, American diplomat Brion Bayard, is kidnapped by the Imperium because the Brion Bayard in a third parallel Earth is apparently waging war against the Imperium. Further adventures follow after Bayard decides to remain in the service of the Imperium. * ''[[Worlds of the Imperium]]'' (1962) * ''The Other Side of Time'' (1965) * ''Assignment in Nowhere'' (1968) * ''Beyond the Imperium'' (omnibus edition of ''The Other Side of Time'' and ''Assignment in Nowhere'') (1981) * ''Zone Yellow'' (1990) * ''Imperium'' (omnibus edition of ''Worlds of the Imperium'', ''Assignment in Nowhere'' and ''The Other Side of Time'', ed. Eric Flint) (2005) ===''Time Trap''=== * ''Time Trap'' (1970) * ''Back to the Time Trap'' (1992) ===Lafayette O'Leary=== A comic equivalent of the Imperium mythos, in which the hero has the ability to travel to feudal/magical alternate Earths. * ''The Time Bender'' (1966) * ''The World Shuffler'' (1970) * ''The Shape Changer'' (1972) * ''The Galaxy Builder'' (1984) * ''The Universe Twister'' (2008) (reprint of ''The Time Bender'', ''The World Shuffler'', and ''The Shape Changer'', edited by Eric Flint) ===''The Avengers'' (based on the TV series)=== * #5: ''The Afrit Affair'' (1968) * #6: ''The Drowned Queen'' (1968) * #7: ''The Gold Bomb'' (1968) === ''The Invaders'' (original novels based on the TV series)=== * ''The Invaders'' (UK title ''The Meteor Men: A Story of Invaders'' published as by Anthony LeBaron) (1967) * ''Enemies From Beyond'' (1967) * ''Army of the Undead'' by-lined Rafe Bernard (1967) is often mistakenly attributed to Laumer because it is the third entry in the [[Pyramid Books]] ''Invaders'' novel series as published in the US, but in fact "Bernard" (a pseudonym for [[Reginald Alec Martin]]) was one of the two British authors commissioned by [[Corgi Books]] in the UK to pen original novels based on the TV show (the other was Peter Leslie). The book appeared as the third title in Corgi's UK line as ''The Halo Highway''. Evidence seems to indicate a reciprocal reprint deal Pyramid worked out with Corgi for use of a single title, since only the Bernard book, but not the Peter Leslie ones, saw print in the United States; while only Laumer's first ''Invaders'' title, but not his second, saw print in the United Kingdom. (Verification can be found in Kurt Peer's book ''TV Tie-Ins'' (1967, Neptune Publishing and, later, TV Books). ===Standalone books=== * ''A Trace of Memory'' (1963) * ''[[The Great Time Machine Hoax]]'' (1964) * ''A Plague of Demons'' (1965) * ''Catastrophe Planet'' (1966) * ''Earthblood'' (with [[Rosel George Brown]]) (1966) * ''The Monitors'' ([[The Monitors (film)|filmed]] in 1969) (1966) * ''[[Galactic Odyssey]]'' (1967) * ''Planet Run'' (with [[Gordon R.
