The following list of forthcoming books is extracted from LOCUS (The
Newspaper of the Science Fiction Field), March 1985. This is a wonderful
magazine currently $2.50 and very glossy. Any mistakes and ommissions are
my own and <insert your own disclaimer here>. Please go out and buy
a LOCUS to see everything that is happening. This is just a biased summary.
Authors have been chosen and ignored by my whim. Comments are my own.
TO REIGN IN HELL, Steven Brust (May)
I have seen (not read) a limited edition autographed hardcover of this
and if it lives up to my expectations, this will be the book of the
year.
MYTH DIRECTIONS, Robert Asprin (June)
FLIGHT OF MAVIN MANYSHAPED, Sheri Tepper (June)
TRUMPS OF DOOM, Roger Zelazny (May or later)
Another Amber book. Maybe he'll recover after going steadily
downhill at a rate of acceleration matched only by Frank Herbert's
DUNE series.
BIO OF A SPACE TYRANT, VOL.III: POLITICTIAN, Piers Anthony (May)
More enjoyable schlock. Maybe we'll have to put up with fewer rapes
and murders this time.

THE PEACE WAR, Vernor Vinge (June)
SHADRACH IN THE FURNACE, Robert Silverberg (June)
