***WHAT WE'RE READING***

"Otherland: Mountain of Black Glass"
by Tad Williams
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/185723748X/entertainments08
A classic of cyber-science fiction, Tad Williams' terrifying
Virtual Reality saga continues, with "Otherworld III:
Mountain of Black Glass", in which the sinister Grail
Brotherhood control and fund a worldwide adventure net of
dream gaming--from which dreamers are discovering they cannot
awaken.

"Krondor: the Assassins"
by Raymond E. Feist
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0002246953/entertainments08
Raymond E. Feist provides enjoyable dialogue, moments of
comedy, a touch of savvy political intrigue and unfailing
narrative flow in "Krondor: the Assassins", book two of his
"The Riftwar Legacy", set in the world of his 1982-92 debut
"Riftwar" series.

"Discworld Assassins' Guild Yearbook and Diary 2000"
by Terry Pratchett, Stephen Briggs and Paul Kidby
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0575066873/entertainments08
This is a genuine year 2000 diary with 11 square inches of
nice white space for each day's annotations, but usual added
value is in 23 pages of assorted misinformation about the
School for Assassins, plus an extra snippet in the space for
each week's Octeday--the unnumbered eighth day of the
Discworld week.

"Teranesia"
by Greg Egan
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/057506854X/entertainments08
Violently orphaned Prabhir vows to devote the rest of his
life to protecting his sister. So when she becomes a
biologist and insists on going island hopping in pursuit of
the strange creatures proliferating in their archipelago,
Prabhir has to follow. Greg Egan has combined intellectually
challenging scientific speculations with human drama in
"Teranesia", a fantasy flight into evolutionary speculation.

***HUGO AWARD WINNERS***
Amazon.co.uk reviewer David Langford has won a Hugo Award for
Best Fan Writer. He was handed the award at Aussiecon Three in
Melbourne on 4 September, 1999, the night Connie Willis's "To Say
Nothing of the Dog" won the award for Best Novel.
Science Fiction & Fantasy


***ARTICLE BY STEPHEN WALER, AUTHOR OF "DANNY YATES MUST DIE"***
It's SF with a sense of humour. Stephen Walker presents a
convincing argument for buying his novel "Danny Yates Must Die"
by explaining how his book can turn into a cash-generating
machine.
Science Fiction & Fantasy


***NEW PAPERBACK RELEASES***
