Reliquary by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

The premise is intriguing; a series of brutal murders lead to a
terrifying encounter deep beneath the streets of New York City.
Wayne is thankful to find himself stuck on a nice sunny freeway.

Future Primitive: The New Ecotopias edited by Kim Stanley Robinson
reviewed by Thomas Myer
We sometimes forget how tough and redoubtable the planet Earth
is, and how totally uncaring. Tom takes a look at an intriguing
anthology that helps remind us.
The Serpent Garden by Judith Merkle-Riley
reviewed by Margo MacDonald
In this novel Margo finds a cast of interesting, fully-drawn
characters headed up by a strong heroine in a story
that is both compelling and complete.
Grail by Stephen Lawhead
reviewed by Steven H Silver
Lawhead has quite definitely done his research into the classic tales
of King Arthur and his knights. Steven found it imbued with freshness.
Series Review: The Great Game by Dave Duncan
reviewed by Wayne MacLaurin
Wayne enjoyed the series immensely. The books are each written with a
slightly different style that subtly mirrors the titles. A nice touch.
The Sandman: Book of Dreams edited by Neil Gaiman and Ed Kramer
reviewed by Alex Anderson
Alex has a look at an original anthology inspired by one of the most celebrated adult comics of the decade.
Destiny's Road by Larry Niven
reviewed by Marc Goldstein
The book is filled with the sense of an old master
hungry to prove himself to a new generation. Marc
finds this enthusiasm infectious.
Audio Tapes
reviewed by Steven H Silver
Steven samples two tapes from Infinivox's series of complete SF stories:
Ian Watson's "Slow Birds" and Geoffrey A. Landis' "A Walk in the Sun". He's impressed.
