From mwp@munmurra.cs.mu.oz Thu Sep 14 00:57:47 1989 Received: by munmurra.mu.oz (5.51) id AA21137; Wed, 13 Sep 89 17:12:44 EST Date: Wed, 13 Sep 89 17:12:44 EST From: mwp@munmurra.mu.oz (Michael Paddon) To: cameron@spectrum.eecs.unsw.oz Subject: Slow Glass Catalogue #15 Status: O Here is the Slow Glass catalogue #13. Remember to let me know if you don't want this posted to you any more (excepting those of you who requested the catalogue once only). Feel free to forward/hardcopy this mail to anyone who is interested. If you want catalogue back issues (#4 and #6 onwards), I can arrange to have them e-mailed. Remember, don't send your order to me (see disclaimer below). Send them to Justin Ackroyd at Slow Glass Books. Disclaimer: I have no connection with Slow Glass Books apart from being an extremely satisfied customer. My comments in no way reflect the views or policies of Slow Glass (and vice-versa). This month's wretched random roundabout ramblings... ---------------------------------------------------- [ These are just my own thoughts as I flip through the catalogue. Pay attention at your own risk! ] Interesting new releases are: Greg Bear; _Eon_ and _Eternity_ * _Eon_ was full of great ideas, but I got the feeling that is was really a novella with lots of padding. A really big artificial universe is found hidden in an asteroid; the resultant exploration and discovery takes up most of the novel. We eventually meet the makers and find out something of their motivations. * _Eternity_ may be worth a look if it expands on the concepts and ties up the loose ends from _Eon_. Gregory Benford; _Great Sky River_ and _Tides of Light_ * _Great Sky River_ was a joy to read. I've heard nothing but good things about the sequel. John Brunner; _The Compleat Traveller in Black_ * Widely regarded as a classic. Follow the mysterious Traveller's journey as he establishes order in a land of chaos. Robert Silverberg; _Project Pendulum_ * This novel belongs to a series of juvenile works, each produced by a different author. The only other one I've seen was Zelazny's _A Dark Traveling_. Apparently _Project Pendulum_ makes Zelazny's effort look like the greatest English language novel ever. It isn't. Roger Zelazny; _Knight of Shadows_ * The new Amber book. If you haven't read these, get them. The Amber series is one of *the* definitive parallel universe works. The surprising thing is that, even though Zelazny keeps churning them out, they are all premium quality. Roger Zelazny; _This Immortal_ * _This Immortal_ was written by Zelazny at his peak in the late 60's (and originally entitled _And Call Me Conrad_). A post-holocaust Earth is the setting for the ugliest hero you've ever heard tell of giving an alien a guided tour of our planet's past glories. Life gets complicated when the alien is threatened by an unknown assassin and sundry dangers along the way. A great read. Local releases: Poul Anderson; _Tau Zero_ * Around the universe in eighty days. Gods, I hated this book. Some people, however, say it's good. Terry Pratchett; _Guards! Guards!_ * Yet another Discworld novel. I've praised these enough in the past, so I won't bother telling you how good this series is again. Trust me. The only worry is that Pratchett seems to be releasing one every six months -- let's hope he kills the series off before it becomes repetitive. ######################################################################## That's all folks!

But the few na- tural immortals, the survivors of history, find themselves alienated from the new order, perfect, unchanging. And so, loners for so long, they finally band together for the great adventure of space exploration. Led by Hanno, the oldest human, they travel to the stars and meet the alien races of the Galaxy, thus fulfilling the promise of their heritage of survival and adventure.

MCCAFFREY, Anne THE RENEGADES OF PERN ___ BAL SF-O-N HC $28.50 As long as the people of Pern could remember, the Holds had protected them from the Thread. In exchange for sanctuary in the huge stone fortresses, the people tithed to their Lord holders, who in turn supported the Weyrs, whose dragons were Pern's greatest weapon against Thread. But not everyone was part of that system of mutual care and protection, particularly those who had been rendered holdless as punishment for wrongdoing. And there were some, like Jayge's trader clan, who simply preferred the free- dom of the roads. Others, like Aramina's family, had lost their hold through injustice and cru- elty. Then, from the ranks of the criminals and the disaffec- ted, rose a band of renegades, led by the Lady Thella, and her quarry was Aramina who was reputed to have a telepathic link with dragons. But when Thella vented her rage on Jayge's family, she made a dangerous enemy - for Jayge was bent on revenge.

This is the story of two survivors who, on the threshold of marriage, would be torn apart and forced to overcome impossible obstacles in their quest to be together again. PREISS, Byron (ed) THE MICROVERSE ___ BAN SF/NONF-O-AO HC $41.50 Fact and fiction in an anthology of essays and stories that takes on a journey through the micro- verse.

Join them as they encounter Buddha the Yeti, Jimmy Carter, a tulku, Mount Everest, the hidden valley of Shangri-La, tigers, elephants, and the King of Nepal.

The nature of time mechanics requires that the two travelers' mass be precisely matched. For that reason, the first time travelers must be identical twins. For paleon- tologist Sean Gabrielson the chance to journey back to the age of the dinosaurs was worth the risk. For physicist brother, Eric, the chance to see 95 million years into the future was equally irresistible. What neither planned on was how the inhabitants of those times would react to their presence. Minor Silverberg but still quite interesting. SMITH, Dean Wesley LAYING THE MUSIC TO REST ___ POP SF-O-N $7.50 SOMTOW, S.P. (a.k.a. Somtow Sucharitkul) MOON DANCE ___ TOR H-O-N HC $25.50 From the decadent culture of the Austro-Hungarian Empires comes a clan of werewolves, seeking a new life on the plains of Dakota Territory in 1888.

Somehow that rubs the crew the wrong way, and confron- tation is inevitable. SZOLLOSI, Thomas THE PROVING ___ AVO H-R1-N $7.50 Something in Edgar Lamp's brain is terribly wrong. He can unleash a fearsome power that pushes him to be the king of murders. THAYER, Nancy SPIRIT LOST ___ AVO H-O-N $7.50 A dream-come-true house becomes a nightmare for a young woman as her husband becomes obsessed by the spirit of a 19th century woman.

This is the story of Simon, a young kitchen boy and magi- cian's apprentice, whose dreams of great deeds and heroic wars come all too shockingly true when his world is torn apart by a civil war - a war fueled by ancient hatreds, immortal enemies, and the dark powers of sorcery. TAILCHASER'S SONG ___ DAW F-R-N $7.95 WILSON, Robert Charles GYPSIES ___ BAN SF-R1-N $7.95 When Karen White was young she'd had the oddest dreams - other worlds, other lands... alien yet familiar. And the Grey Man - vaguely threatening, lurk- ing at the corners of her con- sciousness, there yet not there. As she grew up she learned to suppress these frightening, unwanted visions - forcing them so deep it was as if they'd never happened. But with them she had to bury other, more important, memories - her family, their love, links and past. And now she is grown with a son of her own, and suddenly she can no longer keep these feelings and memories hidden within. Because The Grey Man has returned - this time for her son. Can she awaken long dormant abilities in order not just to save herself but her family as well? A beautifully constructed and lyrical novel of parallel universes. Highly recommended. YARBRO, Chelsea Quinn CRUSADER'S TORCH ___ TOR H-R1-N $8.50 It is the year 1189 A.D. Atta Olivia Clemens, a 500 year old vampire, has been living in the city of Tyre for some time. But when the Islamic forces of Saladin threaten to occupy Tyre, she decides to return to the city of her birth - Rome. Historical horror at its best. Highly recommended.
