|title=Jim's Lion
|author=Russell Hoban and Alexis Deacon

The title gives the name away as to what the lad sees approach him in his fantasies, but there is no clue there as to what ''we'' see approach ''us'' in the fantastic that follows.

|summary=There are bugs and there are bugs. The latest ultra-secret British security body, SWARM, uses both at the same time – micro-robots based around the forms of a mosquito, scorpion, spider, butterfly, stag beetle, dragonfly and centipede. They're only supposed to be showing themselves off as surveillance operatives while a high-tech weapon device is transported by a sole human agent across London, when it's stolen. The dangers of it being in the wrong hands, the very fact that the demonstration failed, and the disapproval of the Home Secretary at not knowing SWARM ever was on the cards in the first place, all pile the pressure onto the tiny robots' shoulders…
