The Humanx Commonwealth: Book Five.
He was smart. He was good. He was backed by the Commonwealth's best equipment. So what could possibly go wrong?
'In the midst of life...' thought Evan Orgel.
A whole lot of life. Alien life-form upon alien life-form, crawling, floating, wriggling, darting and oozing. The entire unexplored surface of the planet Prism was unimaginably alive.
'...we are in death.'
His death. His Mobile Hostile World suit - the very latest, state-of-the-art, off-world protection gear - had just failed. Attacked in just about the only way its proud makers hadn't thought of.
So there he lay, a hermit crab trapped in his own armour, while the myriad alien life-forms of prism crawled, floated, wriggled, darted and oozed about him, getting ready to open him up like a tin of upmarket cat food.
Evan Orgell was full of misery.

Sentenced to Prism

Les Nécromongers... Une horde vomie du néant sidéral, derrière laquelle ne pousse que le silence. Le silence de mondes oblitérés... Des croyants sincères qui vénèrent la mort et se sont donnés pour mission de l'offrir à tout l'univers. À leur tête, le Lord Marshal, celui qui n'est ni mort, ni vivant a décidé de leur prochaine étape : Hélion Prime, le carrefour de l'humanité, la planète la plus riche de la galaxie, celle dont les feux éclipsent le soleil mérite bien de connaître l'extase. Une nuit suffira pour éteindre ses lumières et sa civilisation... C'est cette même nuit que Riddick choisit - un hasard ?- pour y débarquer. Une affaire à régler. Une toute petite affaire... et c'est pas la fin de l'univers qui va l'en empêcher.

When his wallet is lifted from a one-night stand with an exotic young woman, who may be either the girl of his dreams or just a common third-world grifter and thief, this world-weary traveller decides to go against his own better judgement and that of the local authorities and pursue this alluring thief up-country into the darkest jungles of Papua New Guinea.
Here is a land where headhunters still roam, and where the natural obstacles of poisonous insects and reptiles, savage and deadly beasts, and the mortally demanding jungle itself are the least of his worries. The forces of good and evil and law and anarchy play by entire different rules in this shadowed world.
Driven by delusions of romance and the need to restore his honour, Bohannon moves in hot pursuit farther and farther up-country, into a heart of darkness almost untouched by modern civilization. And once he attains his immediate goal, he is drawn into the darkness of his own soul, as a hunt for gold proves that greed, more than love or lust, is the primal instinct. For men or women, black or white, civilized or savage, in the darkness of the jungle all shadows are primal.

Primal Shadows

The Humanx Commonwealth: Book Eight.
The mission to planet Quofum to investigate unknown flora and fauna is supposed to be a quickie for Captain Boylan and his crew. 
The first surprise is that Quofum, which seems to regularly slip in and out of existence, is actually there when they arrive. The second surprise is Quofum's wild biodiversity: the planet is not logical, ordered or rational. But the real shock comes when the crew members not only find a killer in their midst but discover that their spaceship is missing - along with all means of communication. 
Of course, the marooned team-mates know nothing about the Great Evil racing toward the galaxy, or about Flinx, the only person with half a chance to stop it. Nor do they know that Quofum could play a crucial role in defeating the all devouring monster from beyond.

Quofum
