feeds@yuku.com (corax) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 21:44:51 GMT

io9 has a great article about 12 unfinished sci-fi novels that sound splendid. I would love to see Philip K. Dick's novel and H.P. Lovecraft's the most.

Once I get caught up on the stuff I've got piling up, I really want to check out the Halo and Mass Effect books. Plus, Matthew Stover has the upcoming God of War book. Karen Traviss has her second Gears of War novel coming out at the end of the month. And my bookstore always has a plethora of

Does anyone remember.....?

feeds@yuku.com (revmacd) — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 16:12:37 GMT

In one of the NJO books there was a scene I am trying to recall and I only have a vague memory of it. I remember the character involved was force sensitive but not a jedi. i think he was in either the Senate building or the New Republic Cheif of State's office. He had a force power where he could accelerate his speed tremendously. To him it was as if everything around him were almost standing still. There was some vague mention that Palpatine also had this ability and I remember thinking...

Space Opera & Science Fiction Series

Just like we've got a topic for discussing Fantasy series and books, I'd like to create a topic for various discussions of Science Fiction series. Feel free to discuss any series (outside Star Wars and Star Trek) that you are reading. You never know, you may be reading something that catches the eye of another member of the forum (or you may already be reading the same series as someone else).

For instance, Nom and I discovered a while back that we were both reading the...

Live in the UK? You could enter to win Seeds of Earth by Michael Colbey

feeds@yuku.com (Kirr Mistwelder) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 13:46:28 GMT

I've read a excerpt from this upcoming scifi novel, and I really liked it. You can find a link to the excerpt futher down the page I'm linking below. The author is a really nice guy, and I had entered the contest to win the bauble (a bookmark and a poster of the cover for those outside the UK) but there's no one who's yet entered the contest to win the book (I know, because he's asking entrants to enter a comment and he'll e-mail them).

So, if you live in the...

I had to share this scene, so I figured NJOE could use a topic where we talk about our favorite webcomics. If you'd rather this be in Lando's... *shrugs* go ahead, I guess.

Anyway, Looking For Group. It's apparently WoW based, but I've never played/read WoW and still enjoy it. Mainly for this guy: http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/latest

I'm anticipating future discussion between at least Nom and myself on this series, so instead of continuing to post in the Seven Suns topic, I'm creating a new one for this new series.

RH catalog oddities

feeds@yuku.com (max jaybo) — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 23:24:35 GMT

the RH catalog can be so weird sometimes... sometimes something will come up without a title, (Untitled K. Miller rings a bell), sometimes without an author (Indiana Jones and the Army of the Dead, even though we now know it's Steve Perry)

So, in the grand tradition of Untitled SW Game book by Ballantine, and Untitled PS3 Game Novel by William C. Deitz, I bring you...
