The best on-line prices would be from E-bay (sometimes), then from there Wal-Mart. In case of buying at a store-

1. Wal-Mart (sometimes)
2. Book-A-Million
3. Barnes and Noble

Used book stores-

1. Book Broker
2. stay away from Book And Music Exchange they charge too much - they don't even knock off 5 dollars.

Hello fellow readers!

Soon Dark Horse Comics will release the Indiana Jones Omnibus Volume 1. It will contain three DH comics based on the IJ character. I'm buying this in anticipation of the new IJ movie.

Whenever I go to Evansville I make it a point to buy at least one sci-fi book that is not franchise based. Usually, I pick it out because of the cover art. I picked one up yesterday that you may want to check out. "The Dragon Never Sleeps" by Glen Cook. I just started it, but it is good old fashioned Space Opera.

Ulkesh, you and I may disgree on everything, so here is one more thing we probably will not agree on. Science Fiction in its best and purest form exists only in the printed form these days.

Discuss.

Edric

Yes we agree that the very best of science fiction is in literature. I'd say the very best sci-fi novel is-

Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons (Hyperion and The Fall Of Hyperion combined into one novel)

It even out does the master writers of the golden age of sci-fi. Better than Foundation, Dune, etc. I'm very serious. Dan Simmons is that great!

Ulkesh and I agree, be still my heart.

I've read some of Simmons work. Try Simon Greene's Deathstalker Series. This book by Gene Cook has really gotten my attention. Of course, I am a sucker for Space Opera.

For me, personally, no one will top the early works of the Grandmaster Arthur C. Clarke.

SPOILERS-SPOILERS-SPOILERS!










Well I finished LOTF-Revelation. Very nice novel. JediMasterJaina will love the Boba/Mandalorians-training-Jaina sequences. Here are some highlights. Ben Skywalker's resolve to stay true to police work procedures pays off. He finds the evidence needed to prove who Mara's killer is. Luke chases Jacen's stealthX and systematically uses the Force to rip Jacen's fighter apart. Very cool. Niathal has created a Galactic Alliance capitol in exile. She broke ranks with Jacen's despotic rule. The cost to her and Luke was pretty high, but needed to be done. The Old Man of the Imperial Remnant is no more. Tahiri passes Jacen's test and he makes her his Sith apprentice.

Legacy issue 21 is out-

The Crossfire starfighter is given some screen-time. I think Incom must be under the influence of Corellian and Verpine engineers. This fighter seems to suggest this in its design.

Also we are given a heroic Dug serving as a GA pilot. Nice to see that my Dug character during the Vong War and Second Corellian Crisis started a trend of Dugs being merely misunderstod. Sebulba was just a bad seed.
