DOCTOR WHO AND THE SPACE WAR CD
Read by Geoffrey Beevers
The year is 2540, and two powers loom large in the galaxy — Earth and Draconia.
After years of peace, their spaceships are now being mysteriously attacked and
cargoes rifled. Each suspects the other, and full-scale war seems unavoidable.
The Doctor, accused of being a Draconian spy, is thrown into prison. And only
when the master appears on the scene do things really begin to move…

DOCTOR WHO BRAIN OF MORBIUS CD
Read by Tom Baker. For the first time on audio, this is an abridged reading of a
classic Doctor Who novelisation, based on a serial from the original TV series.
Why do so many spaceships crash land on Karn, a bleak, lonely, and seemingly
deserted planet? Are they doomed by the mysterious powers of the strange,
black-robed Sisterhood, jealously guarding their secret of eternal life? Or does
the mad Dr. Solon, for some evil purpose of his own, need the bodies of the
victims — and more especially, the body of Doctor Who? (1-4056-7798-1)

FICTION
MATTER TP
by Iain M. Banks
There was nobody of her own kind within several thousand light years of where
Djan Seriy Anaplian sat. However, news from her home world of Sursamen would
still reach her. Djan Seriy Anaplian is, after all, a member of Special
Circumstances — a troubleshooter for the Culture, intervening when necessary to
ensure that order and balance is maintained throughout the galaxy; and Special
Circumstances get to hear about most things. The news itself, unfortunately, is
not good. Her father has died. Her brother too, it seems, both in the latest war
against a neighbouring kingdom. Anaplian must journey home, but while she does
so, another will seek her out, for someone on Sursamen believes her to be their
last hope. What neither of them know is that she might be the last hope for
Sursamen itself. (1-84149-417-8) (978-1-84149-417-3) (CAUT: 0-0-4)

BOUNDARY PB
by Eric Flint & Ryk E. Spoor
What is a palaeontologist doing on Mars? Pushing her boundaries… The find was
made by a teenager. A “funny fossil” no one had seen before out in the middle of
the Arizona desert. And right in the middle of controversy: the strangely shaped
fossil could help explain one of the greatest mysteries of Earth’s past, the
great die-off at the KT boundary. It warranted a big dig, one that could lead to
the mother lode, and professional immortality. But what Dr. Helen Sutter didn’t
realize was that it would take her all the way to Mars… (1-4165-5525-0-2)

RUBY DICE HC
by Catherine Asaro
Two men, two empires. Jaibriol ruled the Eubian Concord: over two trillion
people across more than a thousand worlds and habitats. Kelric ruled the Skolian
Imperialate. War had come before-ten years ago, Jaibriol had lost his parents in
the final battle of the Radiance War between the Concord and the Imperialate-and
it might come again, devastating vast swathes of the galaxy. Neither Jaibriol
nor Kelric wanted war, but neither was complete master of his realm. And each
hid a secret that, if revealed, might be his downfall. Jaibriol was a secret
psion, with telepathic abilities, and to be a psion in the Eubian Concord was to
be a contemptible slave, eventually to be tortured for the pleasure of the
slave’s owner. Kelric, years ago, had disappeared for nearly two decades. He had
been a prisoner and slave on the planet Coban, part of neither empire, until he
had managed to escape. And if the Skolian Imperialate knew of his captivity,
there would be demands for vengeance, ravaging Coban — and killing the wife and
children Kelric had left behind when he escaped. Neither man knew how much
longer he could keep his secret — nor how much longer they could hold back the
threat of a war that could incinerate hundreds of inhabited worlds.

SOME GOLDEN HARBOUR HC
by David Drake
The tyrannical Alliance continues its war against the Republic of Cinnabar, and
Daniel Leary, newly promoted to Commander, and his crew have a new mission: stop
Dunbar’s World from falling to an invasion by the planet Pellgrino. Only one man
is in a position to aid Leary, but the rich and powerful would rather see him
fail than succeed in stopping the invasion. Leary must somehow overcome a large
entrenched force defended by plasma cannon and missiles and backed up by a
heavily armed warship in orbit, all while commanding only a small and virtually
unarmed spacecraft. But Leary again has the help of Signals Officer Adele Mundy,
who can make computer networks do the apparently impossible. Leary, Mundy, and
the crew of the Princess Cecile have gone up against impossible odds before… and
their opponents in those victorious missions are still wondering just what hit
them. (1-4165-5524-2) (978-1-4165-5524-7)
