 News of the Week
Stephen King's X-Files episode scores big in the Nielsens, Gregory Benford's book Cosm heads to the movies, author Jo Clayton dies, and more.
Off the Shelf
Phyllis Gotlieb takes a unique look at crime among the aliens in Flesh and Gold, and Nancy Kress ponders the effects of a world fertility crisis in Maximum Light.
 On Screen
We preview Alex Proyas's disturbing new thriller Dark City, and we review the long-awaited film adaptation of Michael Crichton's Sphere.
Classic Sci-Fi
Sphere may be capturing the minds of moviegoers today, but 37 years ago Irwin Allen took this Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
 Sci-Fi Site of the Week
The controversial editorial group behind the old version of Sci-Fi Universe is back with Eon, a Web publication sponsored by Centropolis.
Anime
Remember the 1985 vampire/sci-fi flick Lifeforce? Kimera is a lot like that, except these vampires like to fight it out using their martial arts skills.
 Cool Sci-Fi Stuff
Perry Rhodan, "the world's greatest space adventure series," has been published weekly in Germany for the past 36 years. Now it's back on North American store shelves.
Games
Activision may have lost its license to the Mech Warrior series, but with Heavy Gear the game company proves that it can still make a mean fighting machine.
