IN THIS ISSUE

Games and Cool Stuff return to our pages while Anime and Sound Space take the week off. Plus, we look at Muppets from Space, the new novels Chi and A Signal Shattered, the classic Trek book Spock Must Die! and much more.

NEWS OF THE WEEK
 Braga nixes Flight Academy rumors, Lucas unveils secret Naboo fighter, Tom Cruise joins DeathRace 3000, Stephen King heads home to recover, and more.
ON SCREEN
 In Muppets from Space, Gonzo thinks he's an E.T. who needs to phone home, and that makes him a prime target for brain-sucking government agents.
OFF THE SHELF
 Alexander Besher pushes the edges of reality in his latest novel Chi, and Eric S. Nylund tries to destroy what's left of humanity in A Signal Shattered.
CLASSICS
 We know James Blish's classic Star Trek novel Spock Must Die! has a cheesy title, but is it a good read? Would you believe...yes!
GAMES
 Last week we anointed MechWarrior 3 king of all Mecha PC games. This week we tell you why Heavy Gear II might make a suitable crown prince.
COOL STUFF
 Find out the real story behind Orson Welles' broadcast of The War of the Worlds on SCI FI Channel's Seeing Ear Theatre, Vol. 3.
SITE OF THE WEEK
 If you're looking for the latest information about the new Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, then you'll want to bookmark Ringbearer.org.
LETTERS
 Our readers have plenty to say about The Blair Witch Project, GvsE, The Cassini Division, Crusade, and why the Force isn't like a gumball machine.
