 News of the Week
The Tiptree Award winners and the Nebula nominees are announced, Terry Farrell says she may be leaving Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Tom Cruise may join Mel Gibson on Fahrenheit 451, and more.
Off the Shelf
Read all of Mike Resnick's award-winning Kirinyaga stories in one novel: Kirinyaga: A Fable of Utopia. We also review Dinosaur Summer, Greg Bear's sequel to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1912 book The Lost World.
 On Screen
Aliens are about to invade Earth in The Advanced Guard and it seems humanity has only one choice to make: Will we be slaves or will we be dead?
Classic Sci-Fi
A.E. van Vogt's Slan is the ultimate wish fulfillment story, which probably explains why it became an instant classic with fans when it was first released more than five decades ago.
 
 Excessive Candour
SF scholar and critic John Clute takes a look at Jack McDevitt's latest novel Moonfall in "A triumph of disaster."
 
 Sci-Fi Site of the Week
Members of the Artemis Society International would like to take you on a trip to the moon...seriously! You can read all about their plans online.
Anime
What do you do with United Planets Space Force's most hopelessly undisciplined crew members? Put them under the command of The Irresponsible Captain Tylor, of course!
 Cool Sci-Fi Stuff
Remember that really cool sound effect from that awesome SF movie you watched just a year or two ago? Chances are Alan Howarth created that sound, and you can probably find it on his new CD.
Games
Some gamers complained that the Wing Commander space combat simulation games had lost their edge, so Origin went back to the basics for the latest installment, Wing Commander: Prophecy.
