"Orbitsville Departure", the sequel to Bob Shaw's "Orbitsville", was
published late last year in Britain by Gollancz. It's impossible to discuss
plot details without spoiling the entire book, but it's fair to mention that
the real purpose behind the construction of the Dyson Sphere finally is
revealed...and it's a definite surprise. Rumour has it that US publication
may occur this year. The original was one of the early Ace SF Specials, I
think, and the sequel may join the new series.
"God's World", by Ian Watson, should be added to the list of created
worlds. Again, it's not out in the States, but should be available from shops
that carry imports (e.g., Bakka (Toronto), the Science Fiction Shop (NYC), or
A Change of Hobbit (LA).)
