IN THIS ISSUE

Anime and Sound Space return to our pages while Games and Cool Stuff take the week off. Plus we look at the new flick Idle Hands, books by David Drake, Larry Niven and Leo Frankowski, and more.

NEWS OF THE WEEK
 The Nebula Awards are announced, The Outer Limits hits 100, the SCI FI Channel sneaks a peek at Star Wars, and much more.
ON SCREEN
 In Idle Hands, a teenaged slacker is more concerned with getting high than going to high school...until his right hand starts killing his friends!
OFF THE SHELF
 David Drake takes on the Norse gods in Northworld Trilogy, while Leo Frankowski shows what one man and a bit of armor can do in A Boy and His Tank.
CLASSICS
 Take a ride with Larry Niven to Ringworld, an artificial habitat 90 million miles wide--and a classic book that earned the 1971 Hugo Award.
SOUND SPACE
 Looking for an awesome compilation of your favorite SF music? Then you've got to check out an instrumental invasion called Watch the Skies.
ANIME
 We couldn't describe Fist of the North Star, Vol. 1 better than the opening narration does: "Never before have so many been killed so quickly by just one man."
SITE OF THE WEEK
 SF author Larry Niven is so prolific that it's hard to keep track of his work. But why bother when the Known Space Web site does it for you?
LETTERS
 Our readers don't like the idea of a Starship Troopers kids series and they don't think anime is juvenile, but they're fond of George Lucas, The Matrix and more.
