[ORDER THE SCI-FI CHANNEL CATALOG]
News of the Week
Babylon 5 pulls down big ratings on TNT, animal rights activists are mad at 3rd Rock from the Sun, the judges have announced the 1997 Philip K. Dick Award nominees, and much more.
 Off the Shelf
Frederik Pohl continues his new saga about the interstellar fight for the "eschaton" in The Siege of Eternity, while new author S.V. Date takes a look at the intrigue and politics at NASA in Final Orbit.
On Screen
We have previews of the new season of Babylon 5 and the new ABC series Prey, as well as a review of Kevin Costner's epic SF film The Postman.
Classic Sci-Fi
In 1991 Leslie Singer wrote the book about classic toy ray guns, but you don't have to be a ray gun aficionado to appreciate this fine volume.
 
Excessive Candour
SF scholar and critic John Clute takes a look at Gregory Benford's new novel Cosm in "Lessons in consequences."
 
Sci-Fi Site of the Week
Ray guns have fascinated toy collectors since their introduction back in the 1930s, and this site will tell you why (and who, what, where and when).
 Anime
Sonic Soldier Borgman: Final Battle chronicles the somewhat boring lives of the last three Borgmen on Earth. Boring, that is, until the three find out they are not alone after all.
Cool Sci-Fi Stuff
Did you ever want to own a CD that was shaped like Darth Vader's head, or one that featured the Max Rebo Band playing "Jedi Rocks"? Now you can!
Games
Colony Wars is a hot space combat game for the Play Station that easily rivals Wing Commander. And it's a decent interactive movie as well.
