INCOMING

Books, books, glorious books!

• Anthony, Piers, Unicorn Point.  Fantasy.  Book Six of the Apprentice Adept series.
• Bayer, William, Wallflower.  A Detective Frank Janek mystery.  Does anyone else remember when Richard Crenna played Janek?  There were seven made-for-television movies, from 1985 to 1994.
• "Carter, Ashley" [Harry Whittington], Mandingo Master.  Plantation novel about Falconhurst, the South's greatest slave breeding plantation.  Super cheesy, but any Whittington is a good Whittington.
• Dozois, Gardner, editor, The Year's Best Science Fiction:   Twentieth Annual Edition.  Twenty-five stories from 2002.
• Farris, John, Solar Eclipse.  Thriller.
