Look for "The Wounded Sky" by Diane Duane; as Star Trek books
go, this is pretty good, even though the blurb on the back cover
seems a bit misleading: the alien scientist K't'lk sounds very nice,
but hardly pretty!  Ms. Duane is obviously a very profound
thinker, and I look forward to more of her books.  This book is very
new; publication date was this month.

As a note, I maintain a listing of all ST fiction books; if anyone
wants a copy, just ask me for one.

How much longer is SFL's infatuation with Dr. Who going to last?
Maybe it's just a bit of sour grapes, since we don't see it in Bangor,
but I saw a recent series when I was over in Britain for the summer,
and I was *NOT* impressed.  Actually, I thought "Blakes Seven" was a
much better SF series.  The plots were a little more valid, the people
very interesting, and the technology more plausible.  Does anyone
know if "Blakes Seven" was/is shown in the U.S.?

Hi

Could I get a copy of your list of ST fiction?  I think I have all of
the commonly available ones.  Also, if you happen to be updating this
list, I'd love copies of updates.

Thanks,
Tony ;-)
