Lacking Natural Simplicity

The Light Ages by Ian R. MacLeod. Well written and interesting, but ultimately rather depressing.

A Regimental Affair by Allan Mallinson.

Slayer's Handbook for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Roleplaying Game, from Eden Studios. Writers: C.J. Carella, Timothy S. Brannon, David F. Chapman. Editors: M. Alexander Jurkat, David F. Chapman. At 156 pages, this slick, color hardback is a little smaller than I'd like to have seen, but it's well written and full of useful ideas, especially for the Director who is looking for ideas for a new Series. It has several good ideas for alternate Buffyverses.
