Khan Noonian Singh is dead! Now the universe is safe for the Federation. It was announced today that the veteran actor Ricardo Montalban passed away at the very respectable age of 88. Yes, I know he did Fantasy Island as well, but his turn as Khan was brilliant both on TV and in the movie. Just to make this day even sadder, that great actor Patrick McGoohan has also left us. No matter what else he did, he will always be remembered as number 6 in The Prisoner - if anyone has a copy of all the episodes, I would love to borrow it. For those old enough, you may also remember Danger Man or, as it was known in the US, Secret Agent - damn clever stuff. You will be missed gentlemen - be seeing you!

Laurence Cutner on books
Laurence feels that the genres of alternative history, sci-fi and fantasy have been ignored for too long. It’s time to lift the stones and rotting wood and let the sun shine in. This will be an adventure in time and space that we all can share. From Asimov to Turtledove and Rowling to Tolkien, this will be one heck of a ride. Strap yourselves in and start your rocket boosters. We are going to meet characters, both old and new, with, I hope, some surprises. Remember to also dodge the bullets; the odd military adventure will also come barreling along.

In my opinion, Montalban made that movie. McGoohan was great - I enjoyed watching him in anything he did. Be seeing you indeed.
