[A good ochmir player cheats, but only if he has to.] Another yes vote for the SF Book Club. Though no longer competitive (pricewise) with paperbacks, they are still cheaper than tradebacks, and of comparable or better quality. Also, they occasionally show up with something excellent from right field (like TC the U while everybody else was trying to tell me how great an unnamed-to-avoid-flames TLOR ripoff was). For instance, the last package from them had "Golden Witchbreed" by Mary Gentle. The cover blurbs compare it to "Dune", and I think they've got it about right. She builds an interesting world, and populates it with interesting people and societies. Has anybody seen this in the US (it was published in Britain in '83)? Have any of you in the UK seen anything about the sequel "The Twilight Shore?" <mike
