IN THIS ISSUE

Games and Cool Stuff return to our pages while Anime and Sound Space take the week off. Plus we have a preview of the Babylon 5 spin-off series Crusade, reviews of the new Star Wars: Episode I game, the classic novel Rendezvous With Rama, and more.

NEWS OF THE WEEK
 Episode I scores big Down Under, Bradbury, Silverberg, Verne and Merritt enter the SF Hall of Fame, Terminator 3 targets Universal, and more.
ON SCREEN
 Capt. Matthew Gideon and the crew of the Excalibur set off on a five-year, 13-episode mission to save Earth in Crusade, the long-awaited Babylon 5 spin-off.
OFF THE SHELF
 Jack Chalker pits humanity against godlike aliens in Priam's Lens, while Gardner Dozois looks at the best SF of 1998 in the latest The Year's Best Science Fiction.
CLASSICS
 In Arthur C. Clarke's Rendezvous With Rama, a giant spaceship pays a visit to our solar system and we only have a few weeks to figure out why.
GAMES
 Join the fight against the evil Sith lords Darth Maul and Darth Sidious in LucasArts' new PC game, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.
COOL STUFF
 Who is this Captain Action and why is he dressed up like Flash Gordon? More importantly, why is Dr. Evil pretending to be Ming the Merciless?
SITE OF THE WEEK
 Underman's 2001 is a Web site devoted to the landmark SF film 2001: A Space Odyssey, and we think Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke would love it.
LETTERS
 Find out why one reader hasn't read The Conqueror's Child but still doesn't like it, why Crusade is like Star Blazers, what makes DS9 great, and much more about Episode I.
